position of the median (formula) - ✔✔(n+1)/2
what are and aren't affected by outliers - ✔✔mean and midrange are,
median and mode arent

the mean
create a chart for the formula!!
x= data value
n= number of total data
normal distribution/bell curve - ✔✔a symmetrical distribution with values
clustered around a central, mean value
68-95-99.7 rule - ✔✔68% fall 1 SD of the mean
95% fall 2 SDs of the mean
99.7% fall 3 SDs of the mean
