... (1) A median is a special case of a percentile, which is the percentage of cases below which a specific percentage of cases fall. c) How does the median differ from the mode and the mean? Unlike the mode or the mean, the median always represents the exact center of a distribution of scores, meaning ...

... When we use the Normal model, we are assuming the distribution is Normal. A newborn baby weighs 8.5 lbs, is it normal? We cannot check this assumption in practice, so when we have the actual data, we make a histogram of the distribution and check the Nearly Normal Condition: ◦ The shape of the data’ ...
