Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mean is a measure of central location that represents the average value of the data. The standard deviation measures the degree of dispersion or spread of the data around the mean. The variance is the average of the squared differences from the mean and also measures the degree of dispersion. The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the data set and does not provide information about central location.
