Data and Graphing
This is the first step of the data cycle, which must anticipate variability in its responses.
What is a statistical question?
Represented by vertical bars, this term describes a number's distance from zero on a number line.
What is absolute value?
This type of rate compares a quantity to exactly one unit of another quantity, such as miles per hour.
What is a unit rate?
This is the name given to the point $(0,0)$ where the x-axis and y-axis intersect on a coordinate plane.
What is the origin?
This is a mathematical statement asserting that two algebraic expressions are equal.
What is an equation?
It is the measure of center found by identifying the middle number when data is listed from least to greatest.
What is the median?
This is the integer that represents a real-world loss or drop of 15 units.
What is -15?
This is the simplest fraction form of the ratio of 4 apples to 6 oranges.
What is 2/3?
Both the x and y coordinates have a negative sign when located in this specific quadrant.
What is Quadrant III?
This is the product when you compute 2/3 x 4/5
What is 8/15?
This type of graph is best used to show how a whole data set is distributed into percentages or categories.
What is a circle graph?
When graphing the inequality x < -2 on a number line, you must use this specific type of circle at -2.
What is an open circle?
Written as a decimal and a percent, the fraction 3/5 is equivalent to these two values.
What are 0.6 and 60%?
This is the area of a triangle that features a base of 10 cm and a height of 6 cm.
What is 30 square centimeters?
This is the final value when evaluating the integer expression:
-6 - (-12)
What is 6?
This measure of central tendency acts mathematically as the "balance point" of a line plot.
What is the mean?
This is the correct inequality statement to represent the phrase: "A student must be at least 48 inches tall."
What is x ≥ 48?
To be mathematically similar, two figures must have congruent corresponding angles and these types of corresponding sides.
What are proportional sides?
This geometric term describes two shapes or line segments that have the exact same size and the exact same shape.
What is congruent?
This is the solution for the variable x in the one-step linear equation: x + 14 = 5.
What is -9?
This is the term for a data value that is vastly higher or lower than the rest, which impacts the mean more than the median.
What is an outlier?
Between -12 and -8, this integer has the greater value.
What is -8?
This is the value of $n$ that solves the proportion: 3/5 = n/25
What is 15?
Because a triangle is exactly half of a rectangle with the same base and height, its area formula requires multiplying by this fraction.
What is 1/2?
What is Mr. Gordon's favorite thing to read about?
