Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context in multiple ways, such as:
a) Report the number of observations;
b) Describe the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurement;
c) Determine quantitative measures of center (mean and/or median) and spread (range and interquartile range);
d) Describe any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered; and
e) Relate the choice of measures of center and spread to the shape of the data distribution and the context in which the data were gathered. (E)
