Having learnt how to present data in the last topic, in this topic our focus will be on describing data, or, descriptive statistics. We will be learning how to describe data using both numerical and graphical measures. Throughout this topic's content, we will be considering some examples based on free material from Gapminder.org (Gapminder.org 2021).
