SOCR CensusAtSchool International Workshop - Percentiles and measures of data variability

Compute different measures of spread, including the range, standard deviation, and interquartile range

Compare the effectiveness of different measures of spread, including the range, standard deviation, and interquartile range in specific situations

Use percentiles to summarize the distribution of a numerical variable

Copy the first 200 measurements of the Human Height and Weight Dataset into the SOCR Histogram Chart, map the Heights column and choose the bin-size to be 0.1 - this corresponds roughly to plotting the percentiles for this data.

Use histograms to obtain percentiles
