Univariate is a term commonly used in statistics to describe a type of data which consists of observations on only a single characteristic or attribute. Univariate analysis is the simplest form of analyzing data. Basic topics such as calculating median, mean, mode and cumulative frequency are taught. In this chapter, we also consider the variables with symmetrical, bell-shaped distribution curves. We call this a normal distribution. This happens to be the most important distribution in statistics. The normal distribution arises in nature when many different factors affect the value of the variable.
