Annual Report
• An annual report is a comprehensive report on a company's activities throughout the preceding year.
• Annual reports are intended to give shareholders and other interested people information about the company's activities and financial performance.
• They may be considered as grey literature. Most jurisdictions require companies to prepare and disclose annual reports, and many require the annual report to be filed at the company's registry.
• Companies listed on a stock exchange are also required to report at more frequent intervals (depending upon the rules of the stock exchange involved).
Measures of Central Tendency
• A measure of central tendency is a single value that attempts to describe a set of data by identifying the central position within that set of data.
• As such, measures of central tendency are sometimes called measures of central location. They are also classed as summary statistics. The mean (often called the average) is most likely the measure of central tendency that you are most familiar with, but there are others, such as the median and the mode.
• The mean, median and mode are all valid measures of central tendency, but under different conditions, some measures of central tendency become more appropriate to use than others.
• Mean (Arithmetic)
The mean (or average) is the most popular and well known measure of central tendency.
• Median
The median is the middle score for a set of data that has been arranged in order of magnitude.
The median is less affected by outliers and skewed data.
