There are a lot of ways to show distributions, but for the purposes of this tutorial, I'm only going to cover the more traditional plot types like histograms and box plots. Otherwise, we could be here all night. 
An article that was published on this site in July 2011, "School attendance by grade and age in Liberia", shows that overage school attendance is very common in Liberia, mainly due to late entry into the education system.

In statistics, we sometimes measure "nearness" or "farness" in terms of the scale of the data. Often "scale" means "standard deviation." For univariate data, we say that an observation that is one standard deviation from the mean is closer to the mean than an observation that is three standard deviations away. You can generalize these ideas to the multivariate normal distribution. 
For those who can make sense of the explosion of data, there are job opportunities in fields as diverse as crime, retail and dating. 
This post shows a technique to display proportions in Excel using a scatterplot instead of a pie chart. 
This series of five interactive graphics highlights the increases in bicycle commuting and safety correlated to increases in government spending. The take-home message is that increased government spending on bicycle infrastructure leads to more people commuting by bicycle and safer conditions for all bicyclists. From 2004 to 2009, the total number of bicycle commuters nearly doubled while total federal spending on bicycle infrastructure nearly tripled. |
