sets.Centre and Dispersion of data sets involve summarising the data using numerical
measures.Measures which can be manipulated or analysed to help describe or make decisions about
a data set.What are the “4 Numerical Techniques-Objectives”?1.Measures of central location: Mean,
Median, Mode2.Measures of variability: Range, Standard deviation, Variance, Coefficient of
variation3.Measures of relative standing (next week): Percentiles, Quartiles4.Measures of linear
relationship (next week): Covariance, Correlation, Coefficient of determination, Least squares
