Statistical Measures and Formulas Guide

This document defines several statistical terms and formulas including: - Relative frequency, median, population and sample means for ungrouped and grouped data, range, variance, standard deviation, Chebyshev's theorem, range approximation of standard deviation, coefficient of variation, percentiles, percentile rank, components of a box-and-whisker plot such as interquartile range (IQR) and upper and lower inner fences (U.I.F. and L.I.F.). Formulas are provided for calculating each of these terms.
