Describe the Distribution
Bell-Shaped and Symmetric
Which Measure of Center represents the most reoccuring data value in a data set?
Mode
Which Dot Plot has a higher standard deviation? top or bottom?
The Top because the data is more spread out from the mean.
Which interval or bin has only 2 states?
1.75-2.00 percent
Half the trees have more branches and half the trees have less branches than what number of branches?
10 branches, because 10 is the median.
What are the MAXIMUM and MINIMUM values of the dataset?
3, 8, 6, 12, 17, 2, 7, 18, 24, 10
Min = 2
Max = 24
Make a 5-point dataset with a median of 8.
Example: 2,4,8,9,10
Describe the Distribution
Uniform and Symmetric
Which Measure of Center represents the half way point of a dataset?
The Median.
Which dot plot has more variability in its data? Top or Bottom?
Top has more variability because the data is more spread out.
What is the total number of states represented here?
13 states
What is Quartile 1?
7
Find the MEAN of the dataset:
4, 2, 6, 2, 4, 6, 9, 13, 2, 9
Mean = 5.7
What is the most sigma measure of spread?
Standard deviation
Describe the Distribution.
Skewed-Left
Which will be greater, the mean or the median?
Neither, they are equal because it is symmetric.
Which dot plot has a higher standard deviation?
Bottom, Because the more data values are further from the mean than the one on top.
What is the mode of this data set?
Can't tell from a histogram
75% of the tree have fewer than what number of branches?
Most trees have fewer than 14 branches, because 14 is Q3.
Find the MEDIAN of the dataset:
4, 14, 14, 15, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11
median = 10.5
Make a 5-point dataset with a mean of 10.
Example: 5, 10, 20, 3, 12
Skewed-Right
What clade of dinosaurs included big scary dinosaurs like tyrannosaurus, carnotaurus, spinosaurus, allosaurus, and giganotosaurus?
OPTIONS: theropoda, sauropoda, thyreophora, marginocephalia
THEROPODA
What's the range of each box plot?
8
What two values is Q1 between?
1.75 and 2.00
How many trees were studied?
Not enough information. You can not see all the individual data points on a boxplot.
Find the mean, median, mode and range of the dataset:
6, 7, 14, 4, 7, 8, 7, 3
mean = 7
median = 7
mode = 7
range = 14 - 3 = 11
What is the most sigma measure of center?
Mean
Bimodal
If there are outliers in the data, is the mean (Average) or the median (middle) more representative of the data?
Median, because it is resistant to outliers.
Which measure(s) of variability can we get from looking at a box plot?
IQR, range
Is this histogram representing quantitative or categorical data?
Quantitative
What is the IQR of the boxplot?
IQR = 14 - 7 = 7. There is low variability amongst the trees.
Find the quartiles and the the IQR of the dataset:
2, 6, 20, 14, 11, 3, 15, 18, 18, 7
Q1 = 6
Q3 = 18
IQR = 12
Make a 5-point dataset with a median of 10 and a mean of 8.
Example: 7, 7, 8, 8, 20
