Definitions:

Measures of Center

Quantitative measures that describe the central tendency of a data set, including mean, median, and mode.

Measures of Variability

Statistical indicators that describe the spread or dispersion within a dataset, such as range, variance, and standard deviation.

Standard Deviation

A measure of the dispersion or variability in a set of data points, representing the average distance from the mean.

Variance

A metric that quantifies the spread of data points, by calculating the mean of squared variations from the central value.
