One-Variable Data

Outliers love to hide in SAT data sets and wreck your mean while barely touching the median, something that many students miss. One-variable data problems reward sharp attention to measures of center and spread.

You'll find mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range from raw data, frequency tables, or box plots. Know when an outlier distorts the mean but not the median, pick the right statistic for skewed distributions, and avoid confusing IQR with full range.
