Other terms from the same lesson
- box plot: A chart of a group's spread: a box around the middle half of the values, a line at the median, and dots for unusual values.
- histogram: A chart that sorts values into ranges and shows how many fall in each, so you can see which values are common.
- log scale: An axis where each step is ten times the last, so values from tiny to huge all fit and equal steps mean equal percentage growth.
