Definitions:

Central Tendency

A statistical measure that identifies a single value as representative of an entire distribution of data, often used are the mean, median, and mode.

Median

A statistical measure representing the middle value in a set of data, where half the numbers are above the median and half are below.

Correlation

A measure indicating the extent to which two or more variables fluctuate together.

Variables

Elements or factors within a study or experiment that can change and potentially affect the outcomes.
