| Balance Point | Having the same weight (mass) on either side, creating the balance point in the middle. |
| Measure of Center | Measures that describe a data set by identifying the 'central' or middlemost value by a single number. |
| Outlier | A value far away from most of the rest in a set of data. |
| Histogram | A graph using bars to represent frequency distribution where, |

| Coordinate Grid | Paper marked with regular lines |
| Quadrant | A quarter of a circle or its circumference. |
