In this episode, we discuss how data and statistics are everywhere and how our ability to organize and interpret data is critical in understanding the world. We review mean, median, mode, and range, and we clarify histograms and dot plots. We also consider how statistics can be interpreted different ways depending on who presents them. There are some funny bits in the middle and at the end too. Enjoy! Here are links to the TED talks that are referenced in the video: 1.
