          The median of a distribution is the value in the middle, i.e
          the value around which the number of lower observations
          equals the number of higher observations.

          To find the median of a probability distribution, the
          procedure is to locate the value below (or above) which
          50% of the observations fall. This is done by summing
          the cumulative probabilities in the distribution and finding
          the value associated with the required cumulative
          probability.

          The mode of distribution is the only single value which is
          most likely to occur.

(ii) Dispersion or degree of variability from the point around
          which. The lesser the dispersion, the closer would be the
          result with the breakdown of the organisation and visual
          of a Roman who will the original value, and hence lesser
          risk in prediction of the result. There are usually two
          methods of deviation, standard deviation, and coefficient
          of variation.

          The principal contribution of probability is to make the
          problem more manageable by focusing only on certain
