Then select and review one of the articles listed in Group A and one of the articles listed in Group B in the Learning Resources.
With your articles in mind, consider the way the author(s) used graphical descriptive statistics to describe the sample or population.

Described a brief summary of the two articles you selected. Then, describe the types of graphical descriptive statistics used in these articles. Finally, analyze how the level of measurement and the distribution of the data influenced the type of graphical descriptions presented. Be sure to use APA style when referencing your articles in your posting
