Question
Answer
Data Set   A group of individual values or bits of information that are related in some way or have some common characteristic or attribute.  
🗑
Dimension   A measurable extent, such as the three principal dimensions of an object is width, height, and depth. Length and thickness are not used because they cannont be applied in all cases.  
🗑
Dimension Lines   Lines that are thin lines capped with arrowheads, which may be broken along their length to provide space for the dimension numerals.  
🗑
English System   Also referred to as the U.S. Customary system. The measuring system based on the foot, second, and pound as units of length, time, and weight or mass.  
🗑
Extension Lines   Thin lines used to establish the extent of a dimension. Extension lines begin with a short space from the object and extend to about .125 inches past the last dimension line.  
🗑
Foot   A unit of linear measure equal to 12 inches or 30.48 cm.  
🗑
Frequency   The rate at which something occurs over a particular period or in a given sample.  
🗑
Graph   A diagram showing the relation between variable quantities, typically of two variables measured along a pair of lines at right angles.  
🗑
Histogram   A graph of vertical bars representing the frequency distribution of a set of data.  
🗑
Inch   A unit of linear measure equal to one twelfth of a foot or 2.54 cm.  
🗑

🗑
Precision   Exact in measuring, recording, etc.  
🗑
Scale   1. A straight-edged strip of rigid material marked at regular intervals and used to measure distances. 2. A proportion between two sets of dimensions used in developing accurate, larger or smaller prototypes, or models of design ideas.  
🗑
Standard   Something considered by an authority or by general consent as a basis of comparison.  
🗑
Statistics   Collection of methods for planning experiments, obtaining data, organizing, summarizing, presenting, analyzing, interpreting, and drawing conclusions based on data.  
🗑
Two-Dimensional   Having the dimensions of height and width, height and depth, or width and depth only.  
🗑
Unit   A standard quantity in terms of which other quantities may be expressed.  
🗑
Variation   A change or slight difference in condition, amount, or level.  
🗑


   

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.
