Measures of Location If the measures are computed for data from a sample, for data from a sample, they are called sample statistics. If the measures are computed for data from a sample, for data from a sample, they are called sample statistics. If the measures are computed for data from a population, for data from a population, they are called population parameters. If the measures are computed for data from a population, for data from a population, they are called population parameters. A sample statistic is referred to as the point estimator of the corresponding population parameter. A sample statistic is referred to as the point estimator of the corresponding population parameter. n Mean n Median n Mode n Percentiles n Quartiles

Mean n The mean of a data set is the average of all the data values. The sample mean is the point estimator of the population mean . The sample mean is the point estimator of the population mean . n Perhaps the most important measure of location is the mean. n The mean provides a measure of central location.
