Measures of Center
Across
- 2. The mean is this. Isn't always accurate but can help find the answer.
- 4. Values that divide a data set into quarters. Synonymous with IQR.
- 8. Measure of how spread out a data set is.Shows how big a set of data is.
- 11. Results of other charts/graphs. Listed numbers that show results
- 12. multiple modes in a data set.Usually found in larger sets of data.
- 13. Average of all the values in the population
- 15. Is the arithmetic average of a set of given numbers.It is calculated by taking all of the values in a set and dividing them by the total number of values in that set.
- 16. deviation Also called the standard error is the square root of the variance and tells us how spread out the data is from the mean.
- 18. Is the number that is in the middle of a data set that is organized from lowest to highest or from highest to lowest. Doesn’t represent a true average.
- 19. Numbers in a data set that are either way bigger or way smaller than the other numbers in a data set.Look different than the other numbers in the data set.
- 20. Is the number that repeats most often in a data set. Not a reliable measure of center.
Down
- 1. Places each number in a data set into four percentages. Can show how big a data set is.
- 3. Average of all the values collected.
- 5. The order in which the data set goes. Synonymous with smallest going to largest.
- 6. Is calculated by adding the highest and lowest values of a data set together, and dividing the sum by 2. Hardly ever used.
- 7. Two modes in a data set.Usually found in medium sized sets of data.
- 9. One mode in a data set.Usually for smaller sets of data.
- 10. List of numbers in a data set. Usually going from least to greatest.
- 14. Measures the middles 50% of data. Separates the first and third quartiles.
- 17. The spread of each number. Used to show the difference in lowest to highest, synonymous with range.
