9.1 | |
| 9.2 Different ways we can map from data to properties of a visualization. |
9.2 | |
| 9.3 Defining distributions, and determining whether or not given visualizations contain a distribution. |
9.3 | |
| 9.4 Bar plots as a means of displaying the distribution of a qualitative variable, as well as for plotting a quantitative variable across several different categories. |
