2.2.2 Histograms - Using Histograms to Infer Qualities of Data

This video is a supplement for MATH 2193: Elementary Statistics at Tulsa Community College. The material comes from section 2.2 of the Essentials of Statistics text, 6th edition, by Mario Triola.

In this video, we discuss how we can use a histogram to infer the shape of the distribution, the center of the data, the spread or the data, and any outliers. We also discuss four common distributions and their properties, including normal distributions, uniform distributions, distributions skewed to the right, and distributions skewed to the left.
