Question
Answer
individual   an object described by a set of data  
🗑
variable   a characteristic of an individual  
🗑
quantitative variable   a variable that takes on a numerical value that can be measured  
🗑
quantitative data   values of quantitative variables  
🗑
categorical/qualitative variable   a variable that places an individual into a category  
🗑
distribution   indicates what values a variable takes on and the frequency at which it takes these values  
🗑
graphs of qual.   pie chart, bar chart  
🗑
bar chart   qual.  
🗑
pie chart   qual.  
🗑
graphs of quan.   dotplot, histogram, stemplot  
🗑
dotplot   quan.  
🗑
historgram   quan.  
🗑
stemplot   quan.  
🗑
outlier   an individual observation that falls outside the overaell pattern of the graph  
🗑
relative frequency histogram   has the same shape as a histogram with the exception that the vertical axis measures relative frequencies instead of frequencies  
🗑
key features of a histogram   the center (mean, median), the spread (range), the shape  
🗑
shapes of a graph.   symmetric, skewed left, skewed right  
🗑
measures of center   sample mean, mode, median  
🗑
sample mean   arithmetic average or arkithmetic mean  
🗑
mode   element or elements that occur most often  
🗑
median   "the middle number"/average of two middle numbers  
🗑
median position formula   (n+1)/2 (n=number of numbers in the data set)  
🗑
mean=median when...   distribution is perfectly symmetric  
🗑
when it is skewed right   the mean is dragged to the right  
🗑
when it is skewed left   the median is dragged to the left  
🗑
measures of spread   range, iqr, five number summary, the variance and the sample standard deviation  
🗑
range   largest #- smallest #  
🗑
iqr   IQR= Q3-Q1  
🗑
five number summary   min. q1 med q3 max  
🗑
variance   sum of (xi-the mean)squared divded by n-1  
🗑
standard deviation (equation)   square root of variance...sum of (xi-average)square/n-1  
🗑
standard deviation (definition)   the st. dev. is a set of numbers that emasures how numbers are spread out from the mean  
🗑
xi-xbar   a deviation of xi from the mean  
🗑
the sum of all the deviations of the mean   always equals 0  
🗑
st. dev. is .... to outliers   nonresistant (is affected by)  
🗑
n-1 is..   degrees of freedom  
🗑
a datapoint is an outlier if...   it lies mroe than one a half iqr ranges before q1 or above q3  
🗑
boxplot   is a graph which displays five num summary of a set of data  
🗑
modified boxplot   a graph that displays the fiver numeb summary of a data set (tests for outliers)  
🗑
side-by-side boxplots   can be used to compare the distributions of to data sets  
🗑
within one standard deviation of the mean   68% of the data will fall  
🗑
two sample standard deviations from the mean   about 95% of the data will fall  
🗑
three devations fromt he mean   about 99.7% of the data wqill fall  
🗑
z-score   meansures how far these points lie from the mean (using standard devations as the unit)  
🗑
equation for z-score   x-xbar/s  
🗑
sample mean of a z-score is   0  
🗑
the sample dev of a zcore is   1  
🗑
cumulative frequency   is the nunber of observations less than or equal to a given number  
🗑
cumulative relative frequency   cumulative frequency divded by the toal number ofobservations  
🗑
empirical distribution function   is a graph of the cumulative relative frquency vs. the raw data in the sample  
🗑
a density curve   a curve that always lies on or above the horizontal axis and has area exactly of 1 underneath  
🗑
median of a density curve   is the point that divides the area under the curve in half  
🗑
mean of a density curve   the point at which the curve would balance if it was made of a solid material  
🗑
the standard normal distribution is..(mean/st. dev.)   a normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1  
🗑
conversation formula is used   to convert normal distribiton values to standard normal distribution values  
🗑
conversation formula (actual form)   z= (x-mu)/s  
🗑
what does a z-score measure   the number of standard deviations between anobservation x and the mean mu of the data set  
🗑
normal quantile plot   graphs raw data (horizontal) versus their z-score (y-axis)  
🗑
a data set is approximately normal when its   quantile plot is approximately linear  
🗑
independent variable x is   the explanatory varaible  
🗑
dependent variable y   response variable  
🗑
directions of scatterplots   positive association, negative association or neither  
🗑
scatterplots are analyzed according to:   direction, form, strength of relationship, and outliers  
🗑
correlation coefficient measures   the direction and strength of the linear relationship between two quantitative variables  
🗑
formula for r   r= one over n minus 1 times the sum of the (xi-x) divided by sx and (yi-y) divided by sy  
🗑
the correclation coefficient r is always a number between   -1 and 1  
🗑
if r is positive then   x and y have a posistive association  
🗑
if r=1 then   x and y have a perfect positive correlation  
🗑
if r is negatrive then   x and y have a negative association  
🗑
if r=-1 then   x and y have a perfect negative correlation  
🗑
least squares regression lineis the equation..   of the line that makes the sum of the squares fof the residuals as small as possible

🗑
the difference between y and yhat is called   an error or a residual  
🗑
residual is   the observed value of y mins the predicted value of y (y-yhat)  
🗑
the point xbar, ybar...   is a point on every regression line  
🗑
rsquared is   called the coefficient of determination  
🗑
rsquared measures   the variation in y that is explained by y's linear association with x  
🗑
a residual plot graphs..   the residuals on the vertical axis and either the explanatory, response or preodicted response values on the horizontal  
🗑
residuals from a LSQR always   have a mean of 0  
🗑
the horizxontal axis of a residual plot   corresponds to the regresson line  
🗑
an observation is influential if   removing it would markedly change the position fot her egression line  
🗑
