How do you describe a sample in statistics?

At the very least you need to show: Middle value – centrality, that is, an average

Dispersion – how spread out the data are around the average

Replication – how large the sample is

The shape of the data (its distribution) is also important because the shape determines which summary statistics are most appropriate to describe the sample
