The mean alone does not provide any information about the higher order moments of the distribution of the data set. Most important amongst these is that it does not give information about the variance - or the spread of the distribution. The data set could be distributed in a narrow band about the mean or spread more evenly over a wider range. It does not tell you anything about the skewness, that is whether there are many values smaller than the mean balanced by a few large values (or the other way around). Moments of the fourth or higher order are difficult to comprehend and, in most cases, ignored.

What does the mean tell you about a set of data?
The mean tells the sum of the whole set of data.h
What does the median tell you about the distribution of a set of data?
the midpoint of the data set
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.
What does mean absolute deviation of a data set tell you?
ask your mom they know more than u
What does a small absolute deviation tell you about a data set?
It means that particular observation is close to the population [or sample] mean.
What does the mean adsolute deviation tell you about a data set?
it tells you
What does the IQR tell you about a data set?
It gives a measure of the spread of the data.
What do you call the average of a set of data?
The average of a set of data is known as its "mean."
What does the mean tell you about the distribution of a data set?
Not much, it just gives you a first idea about them, but you always do need more information.
Is it true that in large data sets the mean is always one of the data values?
No. Here's one set of data where the mean is not one of the values: a set of 250,000 numbers. 125,000 of them are "1", 125,000 are "3". The mean of this data set is "2", which is not among the data.
Does the mean have to be a member of the set of data?
no. Some mean is a number from the data but some mean is completely different from its data.
When can the mean be the largest value in the data set?
When the data set consistys of a single value.
What is the set data structure?
MEAN
What is the mean set of data 1056269111?
1056269111. The set of data contains only one number and the mean of one number is itself!
How do you find the mean of the data?
Th find the mean of a data set, you add up all the values in the data set and divide this sum by the number of data values. For example, the mean for the data set 2, 5, 6, and 7 is given as 2 plus 5 plus 6 plus 7, which is 20. You divide this sum by number of values in the data set, which is 4 to get 5 as the mean.
The sum of a set of data divided by the number of pieces of data?
The sum of a set of data divided by the number of pieces of data is the average or mean.
How mean of a data set is always one of the data points in a set of data. Explain?
The mean of a set of data is the sum of all those data values, divided by the numbers of values in the set. For instance, if we had 1, 3 and 5, the mean would be (1+3+5)/3 = 3. The mean doesn't always have to be one of the data points in the set. For instance, if we had the data 1, 6, 7, 7, 8. The mean would be (1+6+7+7+8)/5 = 5.8, even though 5.8 isn't one of the values in the set.
