Summary

The Summary option provides numerous measures for each variable, including, the in the first instance, the minimum, maximum, median, mean, and the first and third quartiles. Generally, if the mean and median are significantly different then we would think that there are some entities with very large values in the data pulling the mean in one direction. It does not seem to be the case for Age but is for Income.
