Summary
We have now finished chapter 3
We have seen how to calculate range and Interquartile range including using Interpolation from a
table
We have learnt how to calculate Percentiles and
Inter-Percentile range
We have calculated Variance and Standard Deviation
from a table
We have also used coding to simplify calculations
