What’s a Univariate Distribution? “Univariate” – This part of the word comes from “uni,” which means one. So, when we talk about univariate distributions, we’re talking about data that focuses on just one thing at a time. “Distribution” – This is just a fancy word for how the data is spread out or arranged. Imagine […]
A boxplot is a way of showing how a set of numbers is spread out. The box in a boxplot shows the middle part of the numbers, which is called the “interquartile range.” The interquartile range is the range of the middle 50% of the numbers. The bottom of the box represents the 25th percentile, […]
Have you ever wondered why we use charts to explore distributions? It’s because charts help us to visualize and understand how data is spread out. They also allow us to see any patterns or trends in the data. Now, let’s talk about some common charts that we use to explore univariate distributions. These charts include […]
Hey, it’s Chip! Today, let’s talk about which charts you should use for each data type. 🤓 For categorical data, charts that show frequencies are the best way to explore the data. These include bar charts, pie charts, and stacked bar charts. 📊 Bar Chart […]
Hey guys, it’s Chip! Today, let’s talk about how data types impact what visualization and statistical techniques you can use. 🤓 The type of data you have can impact the way you analyze and interpret your data. Different data types require different statistical techniques and visualization methods. 🔍 For example, if you have nominal data, […]
Data types can be compared in terms of the amount of information they carry. Nominal data carries the least amount of information because it only represents categories or names without any order or numerical value. For example, if we are collecting data on the types of fruit people like, we can assign the categories “apple,” […]
Hey, it’s Chip! Today, let’s talk about the two types of numeric data: continuous and discrete. 🤓 Continuous data is data that can take on any value in a given range or interval. Examples of continuous data include height, weight, and temperature. 📏 For example, if you are measuring the temperature outside, you might get […]
Hey guys, it’s Chip! Today, let’s talk about the two main types of data: numeric and categorical. 🤓 Numeric data is data that can be measured on a continuous scale and can be expressed as numbers. Examples of numeric data include age, weight, height, and temperature. 🔢 For example, if you are trying to find […]
Binary data has two possible values, like “Yes/No,” “True/False,” or 0/1, often used in decision-making and programming.
Hey, it’s Chip! Today, we’re going to talk about the types of numeric data. 🤓 There are two types of numeric data: interval and ratio. 🔢 Interval data is data in which the distance between units is the same, but there is no absolute zero. 🤔 Think of the temperature scale – the distance between […]
