Intuition

Understand first, compress later.

Statistics describes data and separates visible patterns from random variation.

Class width 5: each bar counts how many values fall inside its class. The data is densest between 165 and 170, with 9 values. Unlike a bar chart the bars touch — the quantity is continuous, so there is no gap between neighbouring classes.
Formal view

You can advanced descriptive statistics when you can recognise the underlying objects, select valid rules and check each step for equivalence or logical implication.

Why does it work?

This skill sits on a prerequisite network. If a step is unstable, repair the missing prerequisite instead of merely doing more items of the same type.
