What is the significance of the median value for a set of data?
It is halfway along the distribution of set values. There are as many members of the set with values smaller than the median as there are with values bigger than it.
In a normally distributed data set which is greater mean median or mode?
In a normal distribution the mean, median and mode are all the same value.
What divides a set of data in half?
Median
What is the middle number of a data set called?

What does mean mode and median have in common?
They all describe data set or data sets,hey tell you how far apart they are from each other.

The median is the midpoint of the data set. So half the observations are greater than the median and half are smaller.
What does the median tell you about the data?

What is the definition of box plot?
a graphic way to display the median, quartiles, and extremes of a data set on a number line to show the distribution of the data.
What measure of dispersion is used with bimodal distribution?
Central tendency is used with bidmodal distribution. This measure if dispersion is similar to the median of a set of data.?æ
In a normally distributed data set which is greater mean median or mode?

What is a define median?
The median is defined as the middle value in a set or distribution. There is no arithmetic involved in finding the median unless the set or distribution has an even number of values, in which case the the two middle values (sometimes defined as lower median and upper median) are averaged to find the median.
Does some quantitative data sets do not have a median?
No, they must have a median. However, if the data set is of even order, the median may not belong to the data set. For example, the median of 1,2,3,10 is halfway between 2 and 3 or 2.5 which is not a data point.
What does the mode tell you about the distribution of a set of data?
It tells you that that number has the most part of everything.
