I think it is safe to say that this question is simply too simple for you to understand.sophiecentaur said:If you want to give a single figure then, in most contexts, you may as well give them your shoe size. (That is, if they don't already have a load of side information that you're not telling us about)
Are you paying '£100 per character' for publishing this information? Do you want to make sense or 'get away' with giving minimal information?
Have you ever studied statistics in any form or had to present data in practice? Look at the way data is presented in scientific journals and elsewhere. If you read just a single figure then someone may be trying to hide something.
Is a 10% change in your body temperature more or less significant than a 10% change in your salary? Of course range is vital for many statistics.
I don't think anyone is likely to give you a 'one of three' answer, which is what you seem to want. Certainly not me.
PS "Means of distribution" is not the same as "Mean of a distribution". Karl Marx would turn in his grave.
Again, values are completely irrelevant. This is a general question about expressing the relationship in an understandable way.
