There are two common ways to estimate central tendency: the mean and the median.

Errors affecting accuracy and precision are addressed through propagation of uncertainty. The page covers probability distributions, normal distribution confidence intervals, and statistical analysis techniques such as t-tests and F-tests for comparing data sets.
