Scatterplots
Experimental Design
100
Type of data that involves numbers, where an average is meaningful and represents a type of central value of the individual data points.  

What is quantitative data?  

100
A data set is normally distributed, Sara would use what to describe the center?  

Mean

100

The strength and direction of this scatterplot

What is strong and negative?  

100

A sample where every person has an equal chance of being selected and every GROUP has an equal chance of being selected.  

What is a simple random sample?  

200

The shape of this distribution. 

What is skew right? 

200

The measure of spread usually given with mean.  

What is standard deviation?  

200
The distance between an observed value on a scatterplot and the predicted line on the least squares regression line, positive it the point is above the line. 

What is the residual?  

200

A study where a researcher is NOT enacting a treatment, but is only watching and collecting data based on established conditions.  

What is an observational study?  

300

The percent of data in the green box.  

What is 50%?  

300

75% of the individuals are below this height.  

What is 64 inches?  

300

If r = .987 and there are no outliers, FODS.  

What is linear, no outliers, positive, and strong?  

300

A bias that results due to a group systematically choosing not to participate in a study, though they were asked.  

What is non-response bias?  

400

Alice has a female dog with a weight of 69 lbs.  If the breed average is 66 with a standard deviation of 6 lbs, the percent of dogs above hers in weight.  

0.309

400

If a distribution is skew right, the best summary statistics to use for center and spread.  

What are median and IQR? 

400

If a pattern is seen in the residual plot, the form of the line.  

What is non-linear? 

400

An experiment in which the subject does not know if they are receiving a treatment or a placebo

What is a blind experiment? 

500

Boys and girls have different golf averages.  A boy has a z score at a certain course of 1.6.  If the girl's average for this course has a mean of 78 and standard deviation of 5, the score a girl would shoot to have this same z-score.  

What is 86? 

500

The summary statistics are:  Min = 60, Q1 = 65, Median = 75, Q3 = 80, and Max = 95, the value of an outlier in the lower direction?  

What is 42.5?  

500

In the equation describing the hours studied and the math grade received (grade = 56.2 + 14.5hours), the 14.5.  

What is the slope?  (The grade goes up 14.5 points per hour spent studying.)
