-**Median**  - The middle value of a listed set of numbers. This measure can not be combined or used as a mean. 
- 
-**Standard Deviation (SD)**  - A measure of the amount of variance within a set of numbers. Typically reported with a mean value using the symbol '**±'** 
- 
-**Standard Error (SE)**  - The standard deviation of a sample of the larger population. This is NOT the same thing as SD and should not be used in replacement of SD. 
- 
-**Range**  - The difference between the highest and lowest numbers in a given set. Typically given alongside the median. 
- 
-**Interquartile Range (IQR)**  - The difference between the upper and lower quartiles. This is NOT the same thing as Range and should not be used as a replacement.
