Continuous variables are variables which can take any value between two
given values.
Discontinuous variable are variables which cannot take all possible values
between two given values.
Range tells how far apart the greatest and least numbers in a set are. It is
the difference between the largest and smallest numbers.
Now, in the above given data many students have 0 sibling while some
have 3 siblings. The number of times an observation occurs in a set of
data is known as its frequency of occurrence or simply frequency.
The tabular representation of the frequency of all the observations is
known as a frequency distribution and the table itself is known as
frequency distribution table.

MEAN
= x1+x2+x3+…..xn /n
MEDIAN
Median is the middle value, dividing the number of data into 2
halves.Thus, if there are n observations x 1, x2, x3,…..xn then

A Bar Graph (also called Bar Chart) is a graphical display of data using bars of
different heights.
Histogram: a graphical display of data using bars of different heights.
The height of each bar shows how many fall into each range.
The mode of a set of observations is the value that occurs most frequently in
the set. A set of observations may have no mode, one mode or more than
one mode.
Mode is the most common value among the given observations. For example,
a person who sells ice creams might want to know which flavour is the most
popular.
In other words, 50% of the observations is below the median and 50% of the
observations is above the median.
. For example, a teacher may want to know the average marks of a test in his
class.
