Exploring Mean, Median, Mode, and Range in Statistics

This video introduces basic statistical concepts, including dot plots, scatter plots, and box-and-whisker plots. It covers key vocabulary such as mean, median, mode, and range, providing definitions and examples. The video demonstrates how to calculate the median, mean, mode, and range using a dataset, and explains the concept of outliers. It concludes with a preview of future topics, including other graph types and real-world applications.
