Statistical Concepts and Data Interpretation

Dr. Eddie Morgan reviews Unit 6, covering histograms, central tendency, box plots, scatter plots, frequency tables, linear regression, and line plots. The video explains how to interpret data visualizations, calculate central tendency, and understand correlation and causation. It also discusses the impact of outliers and how to use residuals in linear regression.
