    Biostatics discusses vital statistics used to summarize populations, including measures such as median and standard deviation. It describes an investigation into a new hypertension treatment that reported summary statistics on blood pressure in mm Hg for those receiving the new versus standard treatment. The document asks questions to test understanding of statistical concepts like which vital statistics are not used to summarize populations, which summary statistics would not be in the same units as the original blood pressure data, and the name of the statistic that divides a data set into equal parts.
