Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A measure of location is a statistic that describes the central tendency of a data set, such as the mean, median, or mode. Measures of variability describe the spread or dispersion of the data, while measures of shape describe the way the data is distributed (such as symmetrical or skewed). Measures of occasion is not a common statistical term.
