The video tutorial explains different types of data displays: line plots, dot plots, histograms, and box plots. Each type is described in terms of its structure and purpose. Line plots use a number line with Xs to represent data frequency. Dot plots are similar but use dots instead. Histograms are bar graphs with connected bars to show data changes. Box plots display data variation with quartiles and median. The tutorial emphasizes the usefulness of each display type for different data analysis needs.
