Eye Colours, Shares, Whiskers: Mode, Geometric Mean and Boxplot

Prof. Dr. Dirk Schieborn

Higher Mathematics 2 · Reutlingen University

For categories the mode counts, for growth the geometric mean. The interquartile range measures spread robustly, and the boxplot shows location and spread at a glance.

Eye Colours, Shares, Whiskers: Mode, Geometric Mean and Boxplot

Prof. Dr. Dirk SchiebornHigher Mathematics 2 · Reutlingen University

NewNov 3, 2026 · 6 chapters

An explainer film in six chapters, made from a real lecture: why only the mode is left for eye colours, how much production grows per year on average, why you multiply instead of add, what a share with plus 50 and minus 50 per cent, a portfolio and bacteria have in common, why the range depends on the salary of a single manager and the interquartile range does not, and how a boxplot shows location and spread at a glance. Pause anywhere and ask.
