This type of plot shows the five-number summary of a data set.
What is a box plot?
This is the difference between the largest and smallest values in a data set.
What is the Range?
This type of graph uses bars to show the frequency of data within intervals.
What is a histogram?
This measure of central tendency is found by adding all numbers and dividing by the count of numbers.
What is the mean?
This type of plot uses dots to show the frequency of each value in a data set.
What is a dot plot?
In a box plot, these two values are represented by the ends or last data points.
What is minimum and maximum?
This acronym stands for the middle 50% of a data set.
What is the IQR (Interquartile Range)?
In a histogram, this is represented by the height of each bar.
What is frequency?
This measure of central tendency is the middle number when data is arranged in order.
What is the median?
In a dot plot, this is represented by the number of dots above each value.
What is frequency?
This line inside the box represents the median of the data set.
What is the middle line?
For the data set 3,5,7,8,10,12,15, this is the range?
What is 12? (Because 15 - 3 = 12)
This term describes the overall shape of a histogram when the highest bars are in the middle and taper off to both sides.
What is bell-shaped or normal distribution?
This measure of central tendency is the number that appears most frequently in a data set.
What is the mode?
If a dot plot has more dots on the left side and fewer on the right, the distribution is described as this.
What is left-skewed or negatively skewed?
These two lines forming the edges of the box in a box plot represent these two quartiles.
What are the first and third quartiles (Q1 and Q3)?
This is the process of finding the median of the lower and upper halves of a data set to calculate the IQR. (This is the formula for finding IQR)
What is finding Q1 and Q3?
When the bars in a histogram get progressively taller from left to right, the distribution is described as this.
What is right-skewed or positively skewed?
For the data set 2,4,4,5,5,5,6,8 this is both the median and the mode
What is 5?
This statistical measure can be visually estimated on a dot plot by finding the middle of the "stack" of dots.
What is the Median?
If the median line in a box plot is closer to Q1 than Q3, the data distribution is described as this.
What is right-skewed or positively skewed?
For the data set 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18 this is the IQR.
What is 8? (Because Q3 (14) - Q1 (6) = 8)
This statistical measure is best represented by the location of the highest bar in a histogram.
What is the mode?
For the data set 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 8, this is the mean.
What is 5? ( 50 / 10 = 5)
This is the type of skew for this plot.
What is skewed to the right
