Interquartile Range (IQR)
Frequencies for each cell in a two-way table relative to the total number of data.
joint frequencies
(statistics) law stating that a large number of items taken at random from a population will
(on the average) have the population statistics
law of large numbers
sum of the product of all sequences of possible outcomes in a sample space is 1. probability
