Question
Answer
Population   The entire collection of people or objects being studied.  
🗑
Sample   a group of people or objects selected FROM the POPULATION  
🗑
Representative Sample   a sample that is ACCURATE *Good  
🗑
Biased Sample   a sample that doesn't represent an important sub-population *Bad  
🗑
One interval includes how many numbers?   two ex: 35 - 40  
🗑
To properly label a graph what is needed?   Title, horizontal and vertical labels  
🗑
Give the interval: The intervals go by 2's... 10   10-12  
🗑
Give the interval: The intervals go by 10's... 27   20-30  
🗑
Give the interval: The intervals go by 100's... 89   0-100  
🗑
If you made a Histogram and realized your data goes off the graph, what do you do?   Raise the vertical axis  
🗑
Minimum   (Min) Smallest number in data  
🗑
Maximum   (Max) Highest number in data  
🗑
Range   G - L = R  
🗑
Outliers   Random piece of data (unusually high or low)  
🗑
Mean   Average  
🗑
Median   Middle  
🗑
How do you find the MEAN?   Add up all numbers and divide them by however ,many there are  
🗑
How do you find the MEDIAN?   Line up data numbers least - greatest. Then mark them off left to right till you find the middle.  
🗑
Name the parts of a 5 word summary   Minimum Maximum Lower Quartile Upper Quartile Median  
🗑
Lower Quartile   Like a median but on the left side of it  
🗑
Upper Quartile   Like a median but on the right side of it  
🗑
How do you construct a BOX PLOT?   5 word summary  
🗑
What % of the data values are before the median on a BOX & WHISKER PLOT?   25% + 25% = 50%  
🗑
What % of the data values are before the upper quartile on a BOX & WHISKER PLOT?   25% + 25% + 25% = 75%  
🗑
What % of the data values are after the upper quartile on a BOX & WHISKER PLOT?   25%  
🗑
Does building a BOX & WHISKER PLOT involve using the 5 word summary?   YES  
🗑
When looking at a BOX & WHISKER PLOT would you rather have data with/without outliers?   WITH - B/C the data is more specific. Otherwise it makes data look inaccurate.  
🗑
When creating SCATTER PLOTS are labels needed on the dots?   NO  
🗑
On SCATTER PLOTS are Titles and Labels on both AXES needed?   YES, on ALL graphs are they needed.  
🗑
What is the word for an INCREASE or DECREASE on a SCATTER PLOT?   Correlation  
🗑
Increase on a SCATTER PLOT is represented by: ...   Positive ( + )  
🗑
Decrease on a SCATTER PLOT is represented by: ...   Negative ( - )  
🗑
Trend Line   A line that FITS the pattern of data on the graph  
🗑
Where should the TREND LINE be found on a SCATTER PLOT?   In the MIDDLE of the dots  
🗑
Name the 4 options for a Sampling Plan   Convenience - Systematic - Voluntary Response - Random  
🗑
Convenience   Easy  
🗑
Systematic   Patterned  
🗑
Voluntary Response   Questioned chance of participation  
🗑
Random   Equally likely, and variety  
🗑
