    This document contains information about: 1) Different levels of measurement (nominal, ratio, interval, ordinal) and types of variables (discrete, continuous). 2) Calculations of mean, median, quartiles, variance for a data set with values from 12 to 28. 3) Information about skewness and calculations of probability for a normal distribution with mean 500 and standard deviation 50. It finds the probability of a value exceeding 600 and the value that should be stocked to have a 5% probability of running out.
