This lesson covers how to describe the spread of data using range, interquartile range, and mean absolute deviation. It begins with an introduction to line plots and common mistakes in understanding data spread. The lesson then explains how to calculate the range by subtracting the smallest data point from the largest. Next, it details finding the interquartile range using a box plot and percentiles. Finally, it covers calculating the mean absolute deviation to measure how far data points are from the mean, indicating the spread of the data.
