Interpreting the Data

Interpreting the Data

After creating the bar graph to full effort, you can step back and take notes on important aspects of the data.

1. Outliers. Outliers are data that often come far away from the average or most frequent piece of data, for example '30 people' would be an outlier because the average data is far below it, being '10 people'. 

2. Gaps. Look for gaps in the data, for example '0 people like the colour white' would be a gap because there is no data for the colour white.

3. Frequency. Look for frequency in certain data, for example the most common occurrence would be 10 people liking a colour.

Remember to take notes on these data types. They will be very important on creating the conclusion (which is what we'll touch on in the next course).
