    This document contains guided notes on exploring univariate and bivariate data. It defines univariate data as variables that divide units into categories based on a quality, and bivariate data as relationships between two variables. It discusses using bar charts for categorical univariate data and histograms for quantitative univariate data, with the x-axis representing categories or values and the y-axis representing counts or frequency. Boxplots are introduced to show the minimum, first and third quartiles, median, and maximum of a quantitative variable. Students are asked to select and analyze datasets to create univariate and bivariate graphs and describe their findings.
