2. QUANTILE

   • PERCENTILE
     • They are statistical indicators that allow the data to be summarized in one, or to divide its distribution into intervals of the same size. The measures of position, therefore, serve to measure and to divide.
   • DECILE
     • in descriptive statistics, it is one of the nine values ​​that divide, into ten equal parts, a group of ordered data.
   • QUINTILE
     • In statistics, the quintiles divide the distribution into five parts (correspond to the 0.20, 0.40, 0.60 and 0.80 quantiles). That is, a quintile represents 20% of the total.
   • CUARTIL
     • are the three elements of an ordered data set that divide the set into four equal parts. We distinguish the cases in which the data are grouped in frequencies and those that are not.

3. CENTRAL

   • MEDIAN
     • It is robust and not affected by extreme values
   • FAD
     • It is represented in the value that is repeated the most.
   • MEAN ARITHMETIC
     • used for quantitative variables
