I might be able to translate it, but if it doesn't make sense to you then I tried my best. It's saying that it wants you to look at the tables and the information that you put in the tables and calculate two additional things in there that best fits the topic. the first thing is asking what questions did you ask, the second meant what the results were for the additional things, and the third one is explaining why you chose the two things to calculate.

Once again I will say that I might be wrong or I might be right all I did was try.

What was the measure of central tendency best suited to report the ages of those who took the study?

- in general, there are three central measures of tendency (mean, median, and mode). for most situations, you'll either be using median or mode. look at your age data for your survey - are there any significant outliers? (any values significantly above or below the rest)? typically, if there are no significant outliers, we use the mean. otherwise, we use the median as it's more resistant to outliers.

How does this measure compare to a measure found w/ one other measure of central tendency? - whichever one you calculated from before (median or mean), calculate the other one, and compare the two values What was the range and distribution? - range is highest - lowest value. for distribution, think about whether the data is symmetric, skewed left/right, or has some other distribution like bimodal (two clusters with two means). I'll attach examples below. symmetric vs. skewed distributions: https://www.assetinsights.net/Concepts/Curve_Symmetrical_and_Skewed.JPG here's a bimodal example: https://study.com/cimages/multimages/16/graph_avg_weight1.png these are not the only possibilities, but there's a good chance your data fits one of these.

sorry for not being responsive. i didnt know I needed to have an age question so that one doesn't apply. i have already talked to my teacher about it. i forgot to re state that I the question as well. i just added it so it would be the complete thing.
