| Cumulative Frequency Table | A table that shows the number of data values that lie in or below a given interval. |
| Histogram | A bar graph that displays data from a frequency table. |
| Symmetric | Data values distributed in the same way above and below the middle of the sample. |
| Skewed Left | Data that is mostly on the right hand side with the long-tail on the "left". |
| Skewed Right | Data that is mostly on the left hand side with the long-tail on the "right". |
| Bell Shaped | Symmetric graphed data in the shape of a bell. |
| Uniform | When the observations in a set of data are equally spread across the range of the distribution. |
| Unimodal | Distributions with "one" clear peak. |

| Gap | Areas of a distribution where there are no observations. |
| Outlier | An extreme value that differs greatly from the other observations. |
| Measures of Central Tendency | Measurements that summarize the middle of a data set. |
| Mean | The sum of the data values divided by the total number of data values "AVERAGE". |
| Median | The middle value in a data set when the data is arranged in numerical order. |
| Mode | The data value that occurs most often. |
| Measures of Dispersion | Describes how spread out the values in a data set are. |
| Range | The difference between the greatest and least values. |
| Quartiles | Values that divide a list of numbers into four parts "quarters". |
| Interquartile Range | The difference between the third and first quartile. |
