Across
- 2. data that contains a finite number of possible values
- 3. minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum values
- 5. a box and whisker diagram display the five-number summary for a data set
- 7. a bar-style data display showing the frequency of data measured over intervals, rather than displaying each individual data value
- 9. the most frequently occurring value(s) in a data set
- 12. the average of the data values
- 16. states that for a normal distribution, nearly all of the data will fall within three standard deviations of the mean (68% within one standard deviation, 95% within two, and 99.7% within three)
- 18. data that can be measured and recorded numerically
- 19. the science of collecting, organizing, and analyzing data
Down
- 1. a way to describe a set of data in which most of the values are clustered in the middle and fewer values are clustered in the tails
- 4. the middle 50% of the data set; includes the data points that lie between the first quartile and the third quartile; also known as IQR
- 6. data that are based on "qualities" such as color, taste, or texture rather than measurements
- 8. the typical distance of the data values from the mean
- 10. a graphical representation where each data value is represented with a dot above a number line
- 11. of center the measure of the value at the center or middle of a data set that can be the mean, median or mode
- 13. an extreme value in a data set that is very distant from the others
- 14. how often data value(s) occur or the "count" of the data values
- 15. data that can take almost any numeric value over a continuous range
- 17. the number in the middle when the data in a set are ordered from least to greatest
