Typical value and spread

Ordered scores on a number line with a matching box plot labelled Q_1 = 18, median = 20, Q_3 = 22, and IQR = 4 When we describe data, we usually want one number for a typical value and one number for spread. Typical values include the mean and median, while spread can be shown by the range or the interquartile range.
