RangeThe difference between the highest and lowest values in a dataset.
Standard DeviationA measure of how spread-out numbers are from the mean
VarianceA statistical measurement of the spread between numbers in a data set. It's the average of the squared differences from the mean.

Frequency DistributionA list
Percentile RankThe percentage of scores in its frequency distribution that are equal to or lower than it.
QuartilesDivide a rank-ordered dataset into four equal parts.
First Quartile (Q1)Also known as the lower quartile
Second Quartile (Q2)This is the median of a dataset. Half the numbers in the dataset are less than the median and half the numbers are greater.
Third Quartile (Q3)Also known as the upper quartile
The Interquartile Range (IQR)Calculated as Q3 - Q1 and represents the range within which the middle 50% of the values in the dataset lie. This can help you understand the dispersion or spread of your data.
