Discussion of mean
Median is used for skewed distribution.
Mean is used for symmetric distributions.
Mode is used for nominal distributions.
Adding a constant to everything adds the constant to the mean.
Measure of variability: range: max-min+1 or count up from the min to the max
Semi-interquartile range is another measure of variability, but not going to get questions on it.
