For the illustrative values 10, 11, 12, 13, 54, the mean is 20 and the median is 12. A single headline number hides that distinction.

Would you show a small distribution chart next to the summary, or expose the extra detail on demand? What design has worked for readers who are unfamiliar with statistics?

Four measurements from each of three events give 12 rows and 3 distinct events. Those counts describe different things, and neither alone proves independence.

For an analytics interface, would you show both counts beside the headline metric, or use a short explanation with a methodology link? What wording makes the unit clear to a first-time reader?
