-Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes
all its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes
how it values vary with a single number.
-Summarize numerical data in relation to their context by reporting number
observations and describing the nature of the attribute under investigation,
including how it was measures and its units of measurement.
-Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and
variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation) as well as
describing any overall pattern and any striking deviation from the overall
pattern.

the data distribution and the context in which the data were gathered.
