Distribution
Charts that show how values spread out across a range.
The idea
Distribution charts show how values spread across a range instead of summarising them as one average. They reveal the typical value, the spread, skew, gaps and outliers, and let you compare those shapes between groups. Reach for them before any average, because two groups with the same mean can look nothing alike.
Where to use it
- Salaries, test scores and response times
- Comparing the spread of a measure between groups
- Age and population structure
- Finding outliers before you summarise
