Define the following 1. Mean 2. Median 3. Mode 4. Standard Deviation

1. Mean: The mean, also known as the average, is the sum of all values divided by the total number of values. It gives us an idea of the typical value in a dataset. For instance, if we have test scores of 10 students: 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, the mean score would be (75 + 80 + 85 + 90 + 95 + 70 + 75 + 80 + 85 + 90) / 10 = 82.5.
2. Median: The median is the middle value in a dataset when it’s arranged in ascending or descending order. It’s useful to avoid the influence of extreme values. If we take the same test scores as above, the median would be the middle score, which is 85.
3. Mode: The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. If we consider the same test scores, the mode would be 85 since it appears twice, more than any other score.
4. Standard Deviation: The standard deviation measures the dispersion or spread of values around the mean. A higher standard deviation indicates greater variability. To calculate it, first find the mean, then subtract the mean from each value, square the result, and find the average of those squared differences. Finally, take the square root of that average. For example, if we have the following test scores: 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, the mean is 85. The squared differences from the mean are (75-85)^2, (80-85)^2, (85-85)^2, (90-85)^2, and (95-85)^2. After averaging these squared differences and taking the square root, we get the standard deviation.
