3.7, 1.0 the average would be 3.2 while the

them really in the middle? How dispersed is this
list? That is, how much do the scores vary from
the middle? Now, look at a routine you do
everyday at work. Which matters most, the average
time it takes to complete it, the most frequent
amount of time? How would you go about finding
the middle on the process? How much does the time
spent vary?
