Central tendency includes mean, median, and mode, while variability includes variance and standard deviation. The page also provides a guide on using R to compute these measures using the Gapminder dataset, showcasing steps to load and manipulate the data, and calculate these statistics.

This is a useful and interpretable statistic because taking the square root of the variance (recalling that variance is the average squared difference) puts the standard deviation back into the original units of the measure we used.

Descriptive statistics involve organizing, describing, and summarizing data using various statistical methods such as measures of central tendency, variability, and distribution shapes. The chapter also highlights the significance of data disaggregation to uncover equity gaps.
