| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| set | any collection of objects |
| empty set | a set with no objects in it |
| Venn diagram | a diagram that uses geometric shapes to show how sets are related |
| meter (m) | a metric unit for measuring length equivalent to 100 centimeters |
| centimeter (cm) | a metric unit for measuring length, equivalent to one hundredth of a meter |
| millimeter (mm) | a standard metric unit for measuring length. 10 of these is equivalent to one centimeter, 1000 of them equal a meter |
| benchmark | an item whose measure you know that can be used to estimate lengths. For example, you could use your height to estimate the height of a doorway |
| gram | a standard metric unit for measuring mass (weight) |
| milligram (mg) | a metric unit for measuring mass (weight) 1,000 of them equal one gram |
| kilogram (kg) | a metric unit for measuring mass (weight) the equivalent of 1,000 grams |
| metric ton | metric mass unit of mass equivalent to 1,000 kg |
| sample | part of a whole set of objects being studied |
| population | a whole set of objects being studied |
| percent | “per hundred” or “out of 100” |
| bar graph | a graph used to compare data by comparing the lengths of bars |
| range | the difference between the greatest and the least values of a set of numerical data |
| line plot | a plot displaying data above the appropriate points along a scale. The scale must include the greatest and least values of the data |
| average | a single number used to describe what is typical of a set of data |
| mean | the sum of a set of numerical data divided by the number of data items |
| median | the middle data item in a set of data in numerical order. If there is no single middle item, the number halfway between the two data items closest to the middle |
| mode | the data item or items that occur most often in a set of data |
