Quartiles and Population Analysis

The video tutorial covers multiple questions related to the population of South Africa in 2020. It begins with an introduction and overview of the questions. The first section discusses the type of graph used to display population data, identifying it as a bar graph. The next section involves calculating the population of Ken by subtracting the sum of other provincial populations from the total population. The final section explains how to calculate the interquartile range for provincial populations, emphasizing the importance of ordering numbers from smallest to largest.
