Chapter 1.2 Flashcards
Dotplot
shows each data value as a dot above its location on a number line
Roughly symmetric distribution
both sides of the graph are approximately the same
Mean ≈ Median
Skewed to the right
right side of the graph is longer than the left side
Mean > Median
Skewed to the left
left side of the graph is longer than the right side
Mean < Median
Unimodal
distribution has one peak
bimodal
graph has two peaks
roughly symmetric
frequencies are about the same for all values
how to describe distribution
Shape, Outliers, Center, Variability, + Context
stemplot
shows each data value seperated into a stem and leaves
splitting stems
when values are more spread out in a stemplot
back-to-back stemplot
two distributions connected with a common stem
histogram
shows values as intervals with bars
