Accounting Terms

  • Data Set a collection of related values.
  • The Mean is the mathematical average of your data set.
  • Median is a basic statistic that describes a different type of average. It represents the "middle" of a data set, with half its numbers higher than the median and half lower.
  • Mode represents the value or values that occur most often in a data set. (If no value occurs more than once, the data set is said to have no mode.)
  • Range describes the degree of variety in your data set. A large range indicates a more varied data set, while a small range indicates the data is very similar.
