Describing Distributions
100
What is the name of the following graph?
Bar Graph.
100
What is the difference between line plots and dot plots?
Line plots use 'x's while Dot plots use dots.
100
What is one difference between bar graphs and histograms?
Bar graphs have spaces between the bars, Histograms do not. Histograms have intervals. Bar Graphs tell you about specific data.
100
What's the definition of the upper extreme and the lower extreme?
The upper extreme is the highest value in the set. The lower extreme is the smallest value in the set.
100
What are the two possible shapes a distribution can have?
Skewed or Normal.
200
What is the name of the following graph?
Line Plot.
200
Which measure of central tendency is easiest to see when looking at a line plot or dot plot?
The mode.
200
For a histogram, the frequency is always on which axis?
The y-axis.
200
What is the definition of the upper quartile and the lower quartile?
The upper quartile is the median of the upper half. The lower quartile is the median of the lower half.
200
What is the shape of the following distribution?
Skewed.
300
Name the following graph:
Frequency Table.
300
When given a set of data, how do you determine that a line plot is best to use?
When a lot of the numbers repeat.
300
What goes on the x-axis for a histogram?
The intervals.
300
How much percent of the data is contained between the two boxes (the interquartile range)?
50%
300
If the curve of your data is on the left side (meaning most of the data is on the left), is it skewed to the left or skewed to the right?
Skewed to the left.
400
Name the following graph and find the range of the set of data.
Box and Whisker Plot. The range is 10.
400
Can you see the shape of a distribution just by looking at a line plot or dot plot?
Yes.
400
What is true about the intervals used for a histogram?
They must be equal. They cannot overlap. Each number can only belong inside one interval.
400
Knowing how to find which measure of central tendency is the most important when creating a box and whisker plot?
The median.
400
Is the following distribution normal or skewed?
Skewed.
500
This graph has bars that touch, frequency on the y-axis, and intervals on the x-axis. What is the name of this graph?
A histogram.
500
What is the median from the following set of data?
15.
500
True or False: a histogram tells you specific information about the data.
False.
500
What are the five important pieces of information you must find in order to create a box and whisker plot?
The median. The lower quartile. The upper quartile. The upper extreme. The lower extreme.
500
What is at least one thing a data distribution must have/be in order to be considered normal?
Data points are symmetric about the center. Mean, Median, and Mode are the same.
