You have asked a very broad question. There are many tools to describe a partiular set of data. This is in the area of descriptive statistics. I found a couple good links to help you: http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/statdesc.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descriptive_statistics There are summary statistics, like standard deviation, ranges, percentile measures, to give an idea of the dispersion of your data. Also, measure of the center such as median, mean and mode help summarize your data. Graphical methods such as histograms are another way of summarizing data in a simple manner.
