Across
- 4. The "middle" value in a set of numbers when arranged in order
- 7. A function where the variable is in the exponent
- 10. The highest power of the variable in a polynomial
- 11. A bell-shaped curve representing the distribution of data in a population
- 15. A graphical representation of data that uses the minimum, maximum, median, and quartiles
- 16. the x-values for which a function equals zero (a synonym could be "roots")
