Summary_Statistics

back to Statistical Theory -- Summarizing Statistical Data

The easiest way to approach this subject is to focus on what we have and what we want to achieve:

We have a set of observations which we want to summarize. #We want to communicate as much as possible as simply as possible.

Statisticians commonly try to express the communality of the observations in a measure of Central Tendency like the Arithmetic Mean] and the diversity of the observations in a measure of [[Statistical Dispersion like the Standard Deviation.
