Cards in this deck (28)
- 1Box and Whisker PlotA visual display of the five number system. A simplified box plot taught to beginners.
- 2Complement of an EventThe opposite of an event. That is, the set of all outcomes of an experiment that are not included in an event.
- 3Complement of a SetThe elements not contained in a given set.
- 4ContinuousDescribes a connected set of numbers, such as an interval.
- 5Dependent EventAn event that is affected by previous events.
- 6DiscreteA set with elements that are disconnected.
- 7Experimental ProbabilityThe ratio of the number of times an outcome occurs to the total number of times the activity is performed.
- 8Independent EventAn event that is not affected by previous events.
- 9IntersectionsThe elements two, or more, sets have in common; indicated by the ∩ (cap) symbol.
- 10Line of Best FitA line on a graph showing the general direction that a group of points seem to follow.
- 11MeanAnother word for average
- 12Measure of Central TendencyA single value that describes the way in which a group of data cluster around a central value.
- 13MedianThe value within a set of numbers in which half the numbers are larger and half the numbers are smaller.
- 14ModeThe number that occurs the most often in the list.
- 15Negative CorrelationA relationship between two variables in which one variable increases as the other decreases, and vice versa.
- 16No CorrelatoinWhere there is no relationship between two variables in a set of data.
- 17OutcomeA single, specific possible result of an experiment.
- 18OutlierA data point that is distinctly separate from the rest of the data.
- 19Positive CorrelationWhen two sets of data are strongly linked together and the values increase together.
- 20ProbabilityThe likelihood of the occurrence of an event. The probability of event A would be written as P(A) and are always numbers between 0 and 1.
- 21QuartileThe collective term for the first quartile and third quartile of a set of data. That is the 25th and 75th percentile.
- 22RangeThe difference between the lowest and highest values.
- 23Sample SpaceThe set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.
- 24Scatter PlotA graph of paired data in which the data values are plotted as (x, y) points.
- 25SimulationThe use of a mathematical model to recreate a situation, often repeatedly, so that the likelihood of various outcomes can be more accurately estimated.
- 26Stem & Leaf PlotA diagram where each data value is split into a "leaf" (usually the last digit) and a "stem" (the other digits).
- 27Trend LinmeA line eon a graph showing the general direction that a group of points seem to be heading.
- 28Venn DiagramA diagram made up of two or more circles, used to compare two or more sets of data and their similarities.
