BASIC STATISTICAL TERMS
Across
- 3. The middle value in a dataset when arranged in order, or the average of the two middle values if there is an even number of values.
- 5. A measure of the asymmetry of a probability distribution.
- 7. Variable A variable that represents categories or groups, typically with no natural order.
- 10. A specific data point or score below which a given percentage of data falls in a dataset.
- 11. Distribution: A symmetrical probability distribution where the mean, median, and mode are equal.
- 12. facts, figures, or information collected and used for analysis
- 15. Variable A variable that represents measurable quantities and can be ordered and compared.
- 16. Values that divide a dataset into four equal parts, typically denoted as Q1, Q2 (the median), and Q3.
- 17. The process of selecting a subset of individuals or items from a larger population to estimate characteristics of the whole population.
- 18. A statistical measure of the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables.
Down
- 1. The sum of all values in a dataset divided by the number of values.
- 2. A statistical technique used to model the relationship between one or more independent variables and a dependent variable.
- 4. The value that appears most frequently in a dataset.
- 6. any characteristic or quantity that can take different values
- 7. Data Data that can take any value within a given range and may include fractions or decimals.
- 8. The difference between the maximum and minimum values in a dataset.
- 9. The likelihood of an event occurring, often expressed as a value between 0 and 1.
- 12. Data Data that can only take specific, distinct values (usually whole numbers).
- 13. Deviation: A measure of how much individual data points deviate from the mean, indicating the dataset's variability.
- 14. The number of times a particular value or category occurs in a dataset.
