    Focusses on the use by D. I. Mendeleev (1834-1907) of the mean, median and interquartile range (``probable error''). There are allusions to his understanding of outliers and the concept of a symmetric underlying distribution. A version of this paper has been published in Russian in Istor.-Mat. Issled. 35, 56-64 (1994).
