Descriptive Statistics with Interview

Answers & Python Examples


1. Mean (Average)
Mean is the average of all values. Use it when data is symmetric without outliers.

Python Example:

import numpy as np

data = [30000, 35000, 38000, 40000, 5000000]


mean_value = np.mean(data)
print("Mean:", mean_value)

2. Median
Median is the middle value. Use it when data is skewed or has outliers.

Python Example:

median_value = np.median(data)
print("Median:", median_value)

3. Standard Deviation
Standard deviation shows how spread out the values are from the mean.

Python Example:

std_value = np.std(data)
print("Standard Deviation:", std_value)

4. Min and Max


Minimum and maximum help in identifying range and outliers.

Python Example:

min_val = np.min(data)
max_val = np.max(data)
print("Min:", min_val, "Max:", max_val)
5. Count
Count tells how many non-null entries exist in the dataset.

Python Example:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({"values": data})
print("Count:", df['values'].count())

6. Skewness
Skewness indicates the asymmetry of the data distribution.

Python Example:

print("Skewness:", df['values'].skew())

7. Kurtosis
Kurtosis tells how heavy the tails of a distribution are.

Python Example:

print("Kurtosis:", df['values'].kurt())
