Explanation / Answer

Mean is the expected value of a function when randomlygenerated. The median is the middle value of various data points. Mode is the most occured data point. Range is the highest value minus the lowest value. Standard deviation is how much the data reasonably varies from themean. Variance is the square of the standard deviation. Standard score is how many deviations from the mean a data point ona normal curve is. Symmetrical distribution is any distribution where both sides ofthe mean occur equally. Skewed is the opposite of above definition. Linear correlation is how close the data points fit a regressionline. Linear regression is what correlation data has to outcomes.
