Descriptive Statistics (some key terms)

 Central Tendency
is the central location or defining quality of a set of data; a quality that indicates the “likelihood” of future behavior or events.


"Tendency." Merriam-Webster.com. Merriam-Webster, n.d. Web. 25 Apr. 2014. .






Outliers
are points in a set of data that are far apart from the center, a.k.a. (extremes).
