accuracy - correct answerrefers to how close a measured value is to an accepted value

anomalous data - correct answerData that do not fit with the rest of a data set.

density - correct answeris the measure of how much mass is contained express the
density of object

estimate - correct answerAn approximation of a number based on reasonable
assumptions

graph - correct answeris a picture of your data

International System of Units - correct answerthe standard system of measurement
allowes scientist to compare data and communicate with each other

liner graph - correct answera line graph in which the data points yield a straight line

mass - correct answerthe amount of matter in an object

mean - correct answeris the numerical average of a set of data

median - correct answerThe middle number in a ordered set of data

meniscus - correct answerThe curved upper surface of a liquid in a tube

metric system - correct answerA standard measurement system based on the number
10

mode - correct answeris the number that appears most often in a list of numbers

nonlinear graph - correct answera line graph in which the data points do not fall along a
straight line

outliner - correct answerA point that is not part of the end

persent error - correct answerthe difference between the known value of something and
its measured value

precision - correct answerrefers to how close a group of measurements are to each
other

range - correct answerof a data set is the different between the greatest value in the set
and the least value
