Across
- 2. how spread out or closely clustered a set of data is.
- 4. the number of data values in an interval
- 6. a measure of center in a set of numerical data; the sum of the data divided by the number of data values
- 10. a method of visually displaying a distribution of data values where each data value is shown as a dot or mark above a # line
- 14. a question for which a variety of answers is expected.
- 15. a visual display of the distribution of data values using the median, quartiles, and extremes of the data set.
- 16. a data value that is much greater than or much less than the other values in a data set
- 18. the smallest value
- 19. a measure that describes the distribution of a data set
- 21. data that can be counted or measured
Down
- 1. the largest value
- 3. when data has a “long tail” on one side or the other, so it is not symmetrical
- 5. a measure of variation in a set of numerical data; the distance between the first and third quartiles of the data set.
- 7. the science of collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting data
- 8. the spread of data which shows all possible values or intervals of the data and how they occur.
- 9. the data value or values that occur most often
- 11. data that can be divided into specific groups, such as favorite color, age group, type of food, sport, etc.
- 12. the difference between the lowest and highest values in a set of data.
- 13. a bar graph that shows the frequency of data values in intervals of the same size
- 17. a measure that describes the typical value of a data set
- 20. a measure of center in a set of numerical data; the value appearing at the center of a sorted version of a list of data
