  31. bimodal
    the case of a tie for most frequently, occurring number.
  32. multimodal
    Data sets with more than two modes
  33. arthimetic mean
    the average of a groupe of numbersand is computed by summing all numbers and dividing the number of numbers.
  34. measure of varaiablity
    describe the spread of the dispersion of a set data.Using measures of varability in conjunction with measures of central tendency makes possible a more complete numerical description of the data
  35. interquartile range
    • range of values between the first and third quartile.
    • q3-q1`
  36. deviation from the mean
    subtracting the mean from each value of data yields
  37. mean absolute deviation
    MAD
    average of the absolute values of the deviations around the mean for a set numbers
  38. Variance
    average of the squared deviations about the arthmetic mean for a set of numbers.
  39. sum of squares of x
    sum of the squared deviations about the mean of a set of values
  40. standard deviation
    square root of variance
  41. Two ways of applying standard deviation
    Chebyshevs theorem
  42. mean
    is computed by summing the data values and dividing the number of values
  43. Skewness
    distribution is asymmetrical or lacks symmetry
