Describes the characteristics of the data set. ? Key numerical measures: ? measures of location (central tendency) ? measures of dispersion (variation) ? measures of shape (distribution) Belton Confidential: For training only 12 Measure of Location ? Mean (will not be discussed) ? Median (will not be discussed) ? Mode (will not be discussed) ? Quartiles Belton Confidential: For training only 13 Quartiles ? When an ordered set of data is divided into four equal parts,the division points are called quartiles. ? The first or lower quartile Q1 is a value that has approximately 25% of the observations below in value. ? The second quartile Q2 is a value that has approximately 50% of the observations below in value. It is also called the median. ? The third or upper quartile Q3 is a value that has approximately 75% of the observations below in value. Belton Confidential: For training only 14 Quartiles ?

The interquartile range is another measure of dispersion. IQR = Q3 Q1 ? The interquartile range is less sensitive to extreme values in a sample than the range. ?
