What are some examples of statistical concepts?

Statistical concepts include mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and correlation. Would you like to know more about any specific one?

Can you explain the difference between mean and median?

Sure! The mean is the average of a set of numbers, while the median is the middle value when the numbers are sorted. For example, in the set {1, 3, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9}, the mean is 5.29 and the median is 6.

What is standard deviation?

Standard deviation measures the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values. A low standard deviation means the values tend to be close to the mean, while a high standard deviation indicates they are spread out over a wider range.

How is correlation different from causation?

Correlation indicates a relationship between two variables, but it doesn't imply that one causes the other. For example, ice cream sales and drowning incidents may correlate, but that doesn't mean ice cream causes drowning.
