Describe the Distribution

Bell-Shaped and Symmetric

100

Which Measure of Center represents the most reoccuring data value in a data set?

Mode

100

Which Dot Plot has a higher standard deviation? top or bottom?

The Top because the data is more spread out from the mean. 

100

Which interval or bin has only 2 states?

1.75-2.00 percent

100

Half the trees have more branches and half the trees have less branches than what number of branches?

10 branches, because 10 is the median. 

100

What are the MAXIMUM and MINIMUM values of the dataset? 

3, 8, 6, 12, 17, 2, 7, 18, 24, 10

Min = 2

Max = 24

100

Make a 5-point dataset with a median of 8. 

Example: 2,4,8,9,10

200

Describe the Distribution

Uniform and Symmetric

200

Which Measure of Center represents the half way point of a dataset? 

The Median. 

200

Which dot plot has more variability in its data? Top or Bottom?


Top has more variability because the data is more spread out. 

200

What is the total number of states represented here?

13 states

200

What is Quartile 1?

200

Find the MEAN of the dataset: 

4, 2, 6, 2, 4, 6, 9, 13, 2, 9

Mean = 5.7

200

What is the most sigma measure of spread? 

Standard deviation

300

Describe the Distribution. 

Skewed-Left

300

Which will be greater, the mean or the median? 

Neither, they are equal because it is symmetric. 

300

Which dot plot has a higher standard deviation?

Bottom, Because the more data values are further from the mean than the one on top. 

300

What is the mode of this data set?

Can't tell from a histogram

300

75% of the tree have fewer than what number of branches?

Most trees have fewer than 14 branches, because 14 is Q3. 

300

Find the MEDIAN of the dataset:  

4, 14, 14, 15, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11

median = 10.5

300

Make a 5-point dataset with a mean of 10. 

Example: 5, 10, 20, 3, 12

400

Skewed-Right

400

What clade of dinosaurs included big scary dinosaurs like tyrannosaurus, carnotaurus, spinosaurus, allosaurus, and giganotosaurus?

OPTIONS: theropoda, sauropoda, thyreophora, marginocephalia

THEROPODA

400

What's the range of each box plot?

8

400

What two values is Q1 between?

1.75 and 2.00

400

How many trees were studied?

Not enough information. You can not see all the individual data points on a boxplot.

400

Find the mean, median, mode and range of the dataset:

6, 7, 14, 4, 7, 8, 7, 3

mean = 7 

median = 7 

mode = 7 

range = 14 - 3 = 11

400

What is the most sigma measure of center? 

Mean

500

Bimodal

500

If there are outliers in the data, is the mean (Average) or the median (middle) more representative of the data?

Median, because it is resistant to outliers. 

500

Which measure(s) of variability can we get from looking at a box plot?

IQR, range

500

Is this histogram representing quantitative or categorical data?

Quantitative

500

What is the IQR of the boxplot?

IQR = 14 - 7 = 7. There is low variability amongst the trees. 

500

Find the quartiles and the the IQR of the dataset: 

2, 6, 20, 14, 11, 3, 15, 18, 18, 7

Q1 = 6

Q3 = 18

IQR = 12

500

Make a 5-point dataset with a median of 10 and a mean of 8. 

Example: 7, 7, 8, 8, 20
