| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Median | The median is a measure of center. It is the middle data value. |
| Mode | The mode is a measure of center. It is the value that occurs most often. |
| Range | The range is a measure of variability. The range is the difference of the greatest value and the least value. |
| Inner Quartile Range | The IQR is a measure of variability. It represents the difference between the third quartile range and the first quartile. |
| Outlier | An outlier is a data point that varies significantly from the rest of the data. An outlier will be significantly larger or smaller. |
| Skewed-Left | If a distribution has a long tail extending to the left. |
| Skewed-Right | If a distribution has a long tail extending to the right |
| Symmetrical | A left half and a right half that are mirror images of each other. They do not have to have perfect symmetry. |
| Bi-Modal | If the distribution has two modes/ humps. |
| Uniform | If the distribution is all the same( or flat) it is a uniform distribution. |
| Mean | The mean is a measure of center. It is the average of the data. |
| Mean Absolute Deviation | Mean absolute deviation is the average distance that the data points in a set of data are from the mean. |
| probability | The likelihood that an event will happen can be given a number value, or probability. |
| impossible | Events that will never happend. |
| certain | Events that will definitely happen. |
| equally probable/equally likely | It is between likely and unlikely and has a 50 percent chance of happening. |
| likely | It will usually happen but it isn't certain. |
| unlikely | It usually will not happen but it isn't impossible. |
| Sample size | Describes the number of data points collected in the sample. |
| Quartile 1 | The median of the lower half. |
| Quartile 3 | The median of the upper half. |
| Complement | Complement of a statistical event is the opposite of the event. |
