Central tendency- a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Variance- being different, divergent, or inconsistent.
Standard deviation- a quantity calculated to indicate the extent of deviation for a group.
Correlation coefficient- a numerical measure of some type of correlation.
Inferential statistics- the process of using data analysis to deduce properties of an underlying probability distribution.
