As part of the dissemination and awareness process we'll be sharing videos from external sources.
The following video is from the Khan Academy, and walks through how to calculate a number of descriptive statistics; mean, mode, median.
These measure averages and are regularly used as the starting point in understanding the dataset.
As the data set becomes larger, and more complex calculating by hand becomes more problematic (and prone to errors). Therefore, you can calculate the descriptive statistics using a spreadsheet. The following (silent) video walks through how to calculate a number of different descriptive statistics using Google Spreadsheets.
