(Grade A+)
A graphical representation of data that plots the frequency of
data along a horizontal line. - VERIFIED UPDATED ANSWER -
dot plot
A graphical rendering of the range and the first and third
quartiles of a data set with the data set's median in the
center. - VERIFIED UPDATED ANSWER - box plots
A graph that uses dots on a coordinate plane to show the
relationship between variables. - VERIFIED UPDATED ANSWER
- scatterplot
,A measure of the degree to which a probability distribution
"leans" toward one side of the average, where the median
and mean are not the same. - VERIFIED UPDATED ANSWER -
skewness
A common type of distribution of data points that forms a bell
shaped, symmetrical curve around the mean. - VERIFIED
UPDATED ANSWER - normal distribution
A number used to describe a specific characteristic about a
data set. - VERIFIED UPDATED ANSWER - numerical summary
Any collection of numerical values, such as measurements,
observations, or survey responses. - VERIFIED UPDATED
ANSWER - data set
A way to approximate a percentage by dividing the number of
times an event occurred in an experiment by the total
,number of trials. - VERIFIED UPDATED ANSWER - relative
frequency
A tool used for graphing that is a display of a two-dimensional
plane. It consists of an x-axis and a y-axis; the x-axis being a
horizontal number line, the y-axis is a vertical number line,
and the axes meet at the origin (0, 0). - VERIFIED UPDATED
ANSWER - coordinate plane
A table that contains frequency counts for two categorical
variables. - VERIFIED UPDATED ANSWER - contingency table or
two-way frequency table
A standard proportion or percentage of data points that lie
away from the mean for a normal distribution. - VERIFIED
UPDATED ANSWER - the Standard Deviation Rule
, A skewed distribution where the long tail of the curve is on
the negative side of the peak. - VERIFIED UPDATED ANSWER -
skewed left
A description of a data set that has more than two modes. -
VERIFIED UPDATED ANSWER - multimodal
A record of the number of times data occurs within a certain
category. - VERIFIED UPDATED ANSWER - frequency
distribution
As one variable increases, the other variable also increases.
- VERIFIED UPDATED ANSWER - positive correlation
An expression or equation that is illustrated by something
other than a straight line. - VERIFIED UPDATED ANSWER - non-
linear
