Description of Distributions
A type of distribution with two peaks
Bimodal
A set of five descriptive numbers that show information about a dataset. Includes the Median, Minimum, maximum, 1st and 3rd Quartile.
5 Number Summary
When variables with specific values tend to occur with the same values of another.
Association
A section of mathematics involving the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of masses of numerical data.
Statistics
The way of describing location within a data set.
Center
When both sides of the distribution seem to resemble each other
Symmetric
Shows the relative frequencies of variables in each format category.
Relative Frequency Table
A point that differs significantly from other observation data.
Outlier
The objects described by a set of data.
Individuals
The process of using raw data and changing it into usable information.
Data Analysis
Description of the distribution or pattern of data within a dataset.
Shape
Displays the distribution of a quantitative variable.
Histogram
Collection of random variables contained in the subset.
Any characteristic of an individual which can take different values for different individuals.
Variable
Conclusions that go beyond the data at hand.
Inferences
description of how similar or varied a set of observed values are for a particular variable.
Spread
The process of using raw data and changing it into usable information.
Data Analysis
The probability distribution of a random variable.
Conditional Distribution
Places an individual into several groups, otherwise known as categories.
Categorical
The probability distribution of a random variable in a data set.
Conditional Distribution
The amount of variability and asymmetry observed in probability distribution.
Skewed
A bar with segmented graphs that are separated by certain variables.
Segmented Bar Graph
An association between two variables that holds individual values of a third variable that can be changed/reversed when the third’s values are combined.
Simpson’s Paradox
Takes numerical values for what it takes and makes sense to find an average.
Quantitative
A measure of how different a piece of data is to the total mean.
Standard Deviation
