N is the number in the sample, Mean is the sample mean, Median is the sample median, TRMean will probably not use, StDev is the standard deviation of the mean, SE Mean we will cover later in the class, Minimium is the sample minimium, Maximium is the sample Maximum, Q1 is the first quartile and Q3 is the third quartile. If you computed Q1 or Q3 by hand, you may get slightly different numbers.
