What is a stem and leaf plot?
A stem-and-leaf plot uses the digits of data values to organize a data set. Each data value is broken into a stem (digit or digits on the left) and a leaf (digit or digits on the right)
What is a histogram?
A histogram is a bar graph that shows the frequencies of data values in intervals of the same size
What are the 3 types of shapes of distribution?
Left Skewed
Right Skewed
Symmetric
When the data distribution is symmetric, use ________ for measure of center and use _________ for measure of variation...
Mean for measure of center
M.A.D. (Mean Absolute Deviation) for measure of variation
What is a box and whisker plot?
A box-and-whisker plot represents a data set along a number line by using the least value, the greatest value, and the quartiles of the data. A box-and-whisker plot shows the variability of a data set.
How is each data value broken up into for a stem and leaf plot?
Each data value is broken into a stem (digit or digits on the left) and a leaf (digit or digits on the right).
