bar chart
|
a graphical display of data that uses the height of a vertical bar above a given point as an indicator of frequency or relative frequency
|
|
|
bimodal
|
describes the shape of a distribution of values when the distribution has two modes or "peaks"
|
|
|
cumulative frequency distribution
|
a data display that shows the number of data set members that are at or below a particular value, or the proportion of data set members that are at or above a particular value
|
|
|
descriptive statistics
|
the branch of statistics which involves finding ways to summarize, describe and present data
|
|
|
dispersion
|
the degree of variation in the values that make up a data set
|
|
|
frequency curve
|
the graph that results when the tops of the bars in a frequency bar chart or histogram are connected by straight line segments
|
|
|
grouped data
|
data points clustered together in manageable groups or intervals for ease and effectiveness of presentation
|
|
|
histogram
|
a bar chart for grouped data
|
|
|
mean (arithmetic)
|
the central point in a data set that balances distance of data set members to the left with distance of data set members to the right
|
|
|
mean absolute deviation (MAD)
|
a measure of dispersion; the average absolutes distance of data set members from the mean
|
|
|
median
|
the data set mid-point; the point for which at least half the values in a data set are at or above the point, and at least half the numbers are at or below
|
|
|
mode
|
the most frequently occurring value in a data set
|
|
|
range
|
a measure of dispersion; the difference between the largest and the smallest value in a data set
|
|
|
relative frequency distribution
|
a data display that shows the proportion of data set members that have a particular value
|
|
|
skewness
|
the degree to which a data distribution has one extended "tail" showing either unusually large or unusually small values
|
|
|
standard deviation
|
a measure of dispersion; the square root of the variance
|
|
|
symmetric
|
describes the shape of a distribution of values when one side of the distribution is the mirror image of the other
|
|
|
unimodal
|
describes the shape of a distribution of values when the distribution has only one mode or "peak"
|
|
|
variance
|
a measure of dispersion; the average squared distance of values in the data set from the mean
|
