Term | Definition |
---|---|
association | A relationship between two (or more) variables. |
central angle | An angle with its vertex at the center of a circle. |
categorical variable | In statistics, a categorical variable is a variable that can take on one of a limited, and usually fixed, number of possible values |
circle graph | A way of displaying data that can be put into categories (like what color you prefer, your gender, or the state you were born in). |
cluster | a grouping of data points on a graph |
constant of proportionality | In a proportional relationship, equations are of the form y = kx, |
form | can be linear or non-linear, can contain clusters of data. |
frequency table | displays counts, or frequencies, of data. |
lattice point | The points on a coordinate grid where the grid lines intersect. |
line of best fit | A line of best fit shows a trend in the data representing where the data falls. |
linear equation | An equation in two variables whose graph is a line. Usually appears in the form y = mx + b. |
linear(non-linear) form | data that forms a line (data that does not form a line) |
negative association | a relationship where one variable increases and the other variable decreases |
negative slope | as x increases, y decreases |
positive association | a relationship where one variable increases and the other variable increases |
positive slope | as x increases, y increases |
outlier | A number in a set of data that is much larger or much smaller than the other numbers in the set. |
simple interest | Interest paid on the principal alone. |
slope | A ratio that describes how steep (or flat) a line is. |
strength (of an association) | A description of how much scatter there is in the data away from the line or curve of best fit. |
unit rate | A rate with a denominator of one when simplified. |
y-intercept | The point(s) where a graph intersects the y-axis. |
y = mx + b | When two quantities x and y have a linear relationship, The constant m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept of the graph. |
