Complete the screens as shown,

using the e key to move
between fields.

All the available descriptive statistics for this variable appear on the
screen :-
On this screen the first statistic, ?, is the mean.
The mean of the data is 4.867 (to 3 decimal places)
The second statistic: x = 73 indicates that the sum of all the


data values as 73; the Greek symbol ? meaning ‘sum of’.

The next three statistics we will consider in section 1E.
‘n : 15’ refers to the fact that there are 15 data values in the
set.
MedianX : 5 means the median is 5
The other statistics on this part of the screen
are the statistics of the five-number summary
which is covered in section 1F
