- Mean: The mean is the average of a set of numbers. It is calculated by adding up all the numbers in the set and then dividing by the total number of values.
- Mode: The mode is the number that appears most frequently in a set of numbers. A set of numbers can have one mode, more than one mode, or no mode at all.
- Range: The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set of numbers. It gives an indication of the spread or variability of the data.
- Median: The median is the middle value in a set of numbers when they are arranged in order. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values. The median is often used as a measure of central tendency that is less affected by extreme values than the mean.

Mean: - Also known as the average. - Sum of all data points divided by the number of data points. - Gives an indication of the central tendency of the data. - Can be affected by outliers (extreme values).
Mode: - The most frequently occurring value in a dataset. - Can exist more than one mode in a dataset (bimodal, trimodal, etc.). - Indicates the value that appears most often.
Range: - Difference between the maximum and minimum values in a dataset. - Indicates the spread or variability of the data. - A high range suggests greater variability in the data.
Median: - The middle value of a dataset when arranged in ascending order. - If there are an even number of data points, the median is the average of the two middle values. - Not affected by outliers as much as the mean. - Provides another measure of central tendency.
