Across
  1. 3. way to model random events, such that simulated outcomes closely match real-world outcomes.
  2. 5. a branch of applied mathematics concerned with collecting, organizing, and interpreting data.
  3. 7. displays the five number summary of a set of data.
  4. 11. an arrangement of a data set in which most values cluster in the middle of the range and the rest taper off symmetrically toward either extreme
  5. 12. a graph that presents categorical data with rectangular bars with heights / lengths proportional to the values that they represent.
  6. 14. a chart consisting of data points plotted on a simple scale, typically using filled in circles.
  7. 15. the part of a conditional statement after then.
  8. 17. a measure for how far a data point is above or below the population mean, expressed in standard deviations.
  9. 21. individual pieces of factual information recorded and used for the purpose of analysis.
  10. 22. states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean.
  11. 23. is when numbers are collected in groups or categories.
  12. 24. any procedure that can be infinitely repeated and has a set of possible outcomes
Down
  1. 1. a group that can be identified by at least one common characteristic for the purposes of data collection and analysis.
  2. 2. a statement that might be true, which might then be tested.
  3. 3. part of an information gathering process, which is to seek meaning from and to inform decisions and actions
  4. 4. means to find something close to the correct answer.
  5. 6. Deviation a measure of how spread out numbers are.
  6. 8. a set of statistical assumptions concerning the generation of sample data
  7. 9. is measured in numerical data.
  8. 10. data collection tool or list of questions used to gather information about individuals or groups.
  9. 13. a measure of the likelihood that an event will occur in a random experiment.
  10. 16. a value of something of interest you're measuring / counting during an experiment
  11. 18. uses mathematics to draw conclusions in the presence of uncertainty.
  12. 19. the average of the numbers ; a calculated "central" value of a set of numbers.
  13. 20. an outcome of a random experiment.
