Determine quantitative measures of center (e.g., median, mean, mode) and variability (e.g., range, interquartile range, mean absolute deviation).

Describe any overall pattern and any deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.

Relate the choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of the data distribution and the context in which the data were gathered.
