    Measures of Center

    • Mode is a measure of center that represents the most frequently occurring value in a dataset.

    Standard Deviation

    • The formula for calculating the standard deviation of a sample is: σ = √[(Σ(xi - x̄)²) / (n - 1)].
    • This formula calculates the spread of a sample dataset from its mean value.

    Normal Distribution

    • A characteristic of a normal distribution is that it is symmetric and bell-shaped, with the mean, median, and mode all equal.
    • In a normal distribution, about 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean.
