2 Chapter Summary
Key Takeaways
Quantitative data are numbers, but those numbers can tell a story when interpreted correctly. To analyze these data, you must recognize the type of variables you’re working with and clean and prepare the dataset. You might explore the data with descriptive statistics, and visualize variables alone or in bi-variate charts and graphs to get a sense of their relationships. You might even explore correlations in the data to see how changes in one variable relate to changes in another.
