Scewed data set
The MODE.
The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data set, not necessarily the widest range. It helps identify the most common occurrence rather than the spread of data. To assess the widest range, one would typically look at the range, which is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the data set. Thus, while the mode provides insight into frequency, it does not indicate the range of data.
The symmetrical bell-shaped curve you're describing is known as a normal distribution. In this distribution, most scores cluster around the mean, with fewer scores appearing as you move away from the mean in either direction. This characteristic shape indicates that data points are more likely to occur near the average, with the probability of extreme scores decreasing as you move away from the center. The normal distribution is foundational in statistics, as many statistical tests assume that the data follows this pattern.
The standard deviation is the value most used. Others are variance, interquartile range, or range.
These terms apply to a set of data: mode: to the most common number (the number that appears most often) median: the middle number mean: The sum of all the data divided by the number of data items present. range: the difference between the largest and smallest values of data
This is known as a skewed data set.
The MODE.
When there are two modal scores in a set of data, it is called a bimodal distribution. This means that there are two values that occur most frequently in the data set.
if data is in the form of frequency distribution then the modal range is the interval containing the highest frequency of observations

The range.
because it shows how much you learned threw out the year
range is the spread of the data mode is the most common value in the domain

Name of the school
Z scores are used for standardized testing done by most school districts. It is the most common way of standardizing data. IQ scores can be standardized using z scores. The mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 15. You use the t score when the sample is small, <30 often. Many behavior ratings use t scores.
The standard deviation is the value most used. Others are variance, interquartile range, or range.
