median vs IQR 
skewed data uses these for center and spread 
 
 
 
Histogram - when to use 
Based on the shape of the 
distribution, uses mean + 
standard deviation OR 
median + IQR to describe 
center and spread - Larger data sets; shows 
shapes of distribution and 
potential outliers; ignores the ...
