Why are mean median mode and range considered measures of central tendency?

Range is NOT a measure of central tendency. In a number of distribution - though by no means all - the mean, median and mode are near the middle of the distribution. That is more likely to be the case with a large number of observations (or experiments).


How does the median affect the graph of a normal distribution?

A normal distribution is symmetrical; the mean, median and mode are all the same, on the line of symmetry (middle) of the graph.


What is a skewed right?

A distribution or set of observations is said to be skewed right or positively skewed if it has a longer "tail" of numbers on the right. The mass of the distribution is more towards the left of the figure rather than the middle.


Why is it a useful value to report standard deviation?

The standard deviation of a distribution is the average spread from the mean (average). If I told you I had a distribution of data with average 10000 and standard deviation 10, you'd know that most of the data is close to the middle. If I told you I had a distrubtion of data with average 10000 and standard deviation 3000, you'd know that the data in this distribution is much more spread out. dhaussling@gmail.com


Describe the properties of a normal distribution?

A normal distribution is symmetric and when looked at on a graph, the graph looks like a bell shaped curve. Approximately 95 percent of its values should lie within two standard deviations of the mean. Frequency of the data lies mostly in the middle of the curve.
