Measures of variability, such as range, variance, and standard deviation, provide information about how spread out the data is. Measures of location, such as mean, median, and mode, indicate central tendencies of the data. Measures of association, such as correlation coefficients, quantify the relationship between two variables. Measures of relativity and measures of difference are not commonly used statistical terms.
