What is the Interquartile Range?

πŸ“ŠπŸ“ˆπŸ” Hey guys, let’s talk about the interquartile range! πŸ“ŠπŸ“ˆπŸ” The Interquartile Range (IQR) is a measure of variability in a distribution. It’s the range between the first quartile (25th percentile) and the third quartile (75th percentile) of the data. The interquartile range is a great way to describe the variability of points near the […]

What is the Range of a Distribution?

πŸ“ŠπŸ“ˆπŸ” Hey, everyone. Welcome to today’s tutorial on understanding the range of a distribution! πŸ“ŠπŸ“ˆπŸ” The range of a distribution is simply the difference between the highest and lowest values in the distribution. It’s like the range of a basketball player’s shots – the difference between their longest and shortest shots. The range tells us […]

What Charts are Best for Exploring Dispersion or Variability in a Distribution?

πŸ“ŠπŸ“ˆπŸ” Hey guys, let’s talk about charts that are best for exploring dispersion in a distribution! πŸ“ŠπŸ“ˆπŸ” Histograms and box plots are two of the best charts for exploring dispersion in a distribution. Histograms show the frequency of values in a distribution, while box plots show the range and distribution of the values. Histograms are […]

How to Interpret Dispersion?

πŸ“ˆπŸ”πŸ“Š Hey guys, let’s talk about distributions and dispersion! πŸ“ŠπŸ”πŸ“ˆ How Does a Distribution with Low Dispersion Compare to One with High Dispersion? Imagine you’re trying to hit a target with darts. If you’re really good, your darts will all be clustered tightly around the bullseye. This is kind of like a distribution with low […]

What is a Scatterplot?

Hey, friends! Today, we’re talking about scatterplots and how they can be used to explore data. πŸ“ˆ So, what does a scatterplot display?Β  A scatterplot displays data point pairs and the relationship between two variables. It shows how one variable changes in relation to the other variable. πŸ” For example, let’s say you’re looking at […]

How Do You Fix Overplotting?

πŸ“ŠπŸ€”πŸ” Hey, friends! Today, we’re talking about overplotting. πŸ“ˆ Overplotting occurs when there are too many data points in a scatterplot, and the points overlap, making it difficult to see the overall pattern in the data. To address this issue, you can use several techniques, including adding transparency to the points, sampling the data, or […]

What is Covariation?

Hey, guys! Today, we’re going to talk about covariation. 🀝 So, what is covariation? πŸ€” Well, covariation is the tendency for values of two or more variables to change together. πŸ“Š For example, when you practice basketball every day, you’ll likely see an increase in your shooting percentage. That’s covariation! πŸ€πŸ“ˆ When variables covary, we […]
