Across
- 5. DISTRIBUTION: A probability distribution with a bell-shaped curve, often used to represent real-world phenomena.
- 6. DEVIATION: A measure of the spread or dispersion of a set of data points, indicating how much they deviate from the mean.
- 9. Refers to something that has an unlimited number of elements or items.
- 10. CURVE: A graphical representation of a normal distribution, shaped like a bell, indicating the frequency of different values in a dataset.
- 12. Refers to something that has a limited number of elements or items.
- 14. EXPERIMENT: A scientific procedure or trial performed to make a discovery or test a hypothesis where the outcome is uncertain.
- 15. The likelihood or chance of an event occurring, usually expressed as a number between 0 and 1.
- 16. OUTCOMES: The different possible results that can occur from a random experiment.
- 18. The value that appears most frequently in a dataset.
- 20. The average value of a dataset, calculated by summing the values and dividing by the number of values.
Down
- 1. VALUES: The specific values that a random variable can take.
- 2. A way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100, often used to describe proportions.
- 3. Describes a situation where something approaches a value but never actually reaches it.
- 4. A type of variable that can take any value within a given range (e.g., weight, height).
- 7. VARIABLE: A variable whose value is determined by the outcome of a random phenomenon or experiment.
- 8. A single piece of data collected or recorded from an experiment or study.
- 11. A type of variable or data that can only take specific, distinct values (e.g., countable numbers like 1, 2, 3).
- 13. RULE: A statistical rule that helps interpret data in a normal distribution, often stating that about 68% of values lie within one standard deviation of the mean.
- 17. The middle value in an ordered dataset; half of the values are above it, and half are below it.
- 19. Describes something that is identical on both sides of a central point or axis.
