Module 2 starts off by looking at central tendency. You will become familiar with the mean, median, mode, and geometric mean. Building on the knowledge you gain of central tendency, you will discover the importance of shape and variation and explore numerical data. The Module concludes with a discussion about descriptive statistics and ethical concerns.
To describe the properties of central tendency, variation, and shape in numerical data.
To construct and interpret a boxplot.
To compute descriptive summary measures for a population.
To compute the covariance and the coefficient of correlation.
