A video game designer was interested in estimating how easy a new video game would be for individuals in the general population of all video game players. The designer took a sample of 7 video game players and determined the maximum level they obtained while playing:

Video game player Maximum level achieved

Player #1		8
Player #2		2
Player #3		4
Player #4		4
Player #5		2
Player #6		4
Player #7		4

The video game designer needs you to analyze these data. Please compute the following AND write in everyday language what each particular statistic means:

The mean
The median
The mode
The range
The variance
The standard deviation

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. A data set may have more than one mode if multiple categories repeat an equal number of times. For example, in a data set with five item—3, 5, 5, 29, 473—the mode is 5 because it occurs twice and no other value occurs more than once. On a histogram or bar chart, the element with the highest bar represents the mode. Therefore, the mode is sometimes considered the most popular option. The mode is useful for nominal or categorical data (e.g., the most common color car that users purchase), but it is problematic for continuous data because it is more likely not to have any value that is more frequent than the other.
