Data Set Analysis and Intervals

Stefan, a math professional, explains how to find the best intervals for data sets or frequency tables. He introduces two data sets and demonstrates how to calculate the range, which is the difference between the maximum and minimum numbers. Stefan emphasizes that a larger range requires a larger interval, while a smaller range requires a smaller interval. He applies this method to the given data sets, showing how to choose appropriate intervals based on the range. The video concludes with a summary of the method for finding the best interval for a data set.
