are mean, median and mode measures of central tendency or measures of spread?

Measures of central tendency

100


What is the median of this data set?

Median = 4

100

What is it called when data is collected from an entire population?

Census

100

Why is this line of best fit drawn incorrectly? 

It does not follow the trend (the points are a positive trend, the line is drawn negative) 

100

What type of correlation is it when a pattern of data rises to the right? 

positive 

200

Find the median of the following data set 

6, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15

10.5

200

What are the five components of a box plot? 

Minimum, Lower quartile, median, upper quartile, maximum

200

Explain what the difference between population and sample is. 

Population is the entire area of interest, sample is the area where data is being collected. 

200

Why is this line of best fit drawn incorrectly?

most of the points are above the line 

200

describe the oval technique for determining strength of correlation

draw an oval tightly around data points, if it is skinny then it is a strong correlation, if it is fat then it is a weak correlation

300

Find the mode of the following data set: 

4, 3, 7, 2, 3, 2, 4, 5, 4

4

300

What percentage of data falls between the minimum and the lower quartile? 

25%

300

What is the population in the following scenario? 

You survey 300 random students in a school to determine how many students in the school will attend the football game

Population = entire school

300

Explain the difference between interpolation and extrapolation

interpolation is making a prediction within the given data. 

Extrapolation is making a prediction outside the given data. 

300

What does a correlation coefficient tell you about a scatter plot and its trend?

The strength and direction (positive vs negative and weak vs strong)

400

find the mean of the following data set

6, 7, 6, 4, 3, 2

4.6

400

Which class has a bigger interquartile range? 

Class B

400

Determine the population and sample in the following scenario 

Sally is collecting data on which sports store in her town sells hockey sticks for the most money. She surveys 10 stores to find how much they sell a stick for.  

Population: Sports stores in the town

Sample: 10 stores surveyed. 

400

Which is more accurate extrapolation or interpolation 

interpolation

400

what does a correlation coefficient of -1 tell us about the data? 

It has a strong (perfect) negative trend. 

500

Find the median of the following data set:

3, 7, 12, 4, 6, 3, 2

4

500

Explain how to find the lower and upper quartile

Take the median of the lower half of the data (excluding the median) 

Take the median of the upper half of the data (excluding the median)

500

State whether the following scenario is one variable data or two variable data: 

Jamie researches how many hours of hockey Canadians watch each week

One variable data

500

State the 3 rules for drawing a line of best fit

1. the line must follow the trend

2. there should be a similar number of points above and below the line

3. the line should pass through as many points as possible 

500

Will this correlation have a correlation coefficient closest to -1, 0 or 1 ?
