Univariate Data Student Workbook
Key knowledge covered -
- types of data, including categorical (nominal or ordinal) or numerical (discrete and continuous)
- the concepts of a data distribution and its display using a statistical plot
- the five number summary
- mean and standard deviation
Key skills covered -
- construct and interpret graphical displays of data, and describe the distributions of the variables involved and interpret in the context of the data
- calculate the values of appropriate summary statistics to represent the centre and spread of the distribution of a numerical variable and interpret in the context of the data
- construct and use parallel boxplots or back-to-back stem plots (as appropriate) to compare the distribution of a numerical variable across two or more groups in terms of centre (median), spread (IQR and range) and outliers, interpreting any observation differences in the context of the data.
