10. Describing Distributions
SOCS
Shape
Center
Spread
Outliers
In order to describe a distribution, we address the following things: the shape of the distribution, the center or most typical value, how spread out the data is, and if there are outliers, we note them.

11. Shape Mound shaped & symmetrical Skewed left (extreme low values)
Skewed right (extreme high values)
Uniform
Go over 4 types of shapes.
What shape does our links distribution have?
