process of getting information from each element of the population   census  
🗑
any sub collection of data drawn from a population   sample  
🗑
any characteristic of the elements of the population   variable  
🗑
tells what values a variable has and how often those values occur   distribution  
🗑
value measuring some characteristic of a population   parameter  
🗑
value measuring some characteristic of a sample   statistic  
🗑
value that splits an ordered data set into 2 halves   median  
🗑
value that is far away from the rest of the data set   outlier  
🗑
average squared deviations from the elements to the mean   variance  
🗑
splits data set into 4 equal groups   quartile  
🗑
graph displaying the relationship between 2 variables   scatter plot  
🗑
value that measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between 2 quantitative variables   correlation coefficient  
🗑
making predictions with values that are outside the range of x variables   extrapolation

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
