Sample Mean: x¯=xnPopulation Mean: μ=xN
Weighted Mean: x¯=Σ(xw)wRange = Max – Min
Sample Standard Deviation: s = (xx¯)2n1Population Standard Deviation = σ
Sample Variance: s2 = Σ(xx¯)2n1Population Variance = σ2
Coefficient of Variation: CVar = (sx¯·100)Z-Score: z = xx¯s
Percentile Index: i = (n+1)·p100Interquartile Range: IQR = Q3Q1
