IED Unit 3 Flashcards
The degree of closeness of measurements of a quantity to the actual (or accepted) value.
Accuracy
Arrowheads are used to indicate the end of a dimension line or leader.
Arrowheads
A measuring instrument having two adjustable jaws typically used to measure diameter or thickness.
Caliper
A group of values that is used to analyze the distribution of data.
Class Interval
To change money, stocks, or units in which a quantity is expressed into others of a different kind.
Convert
Facts and statistics used for reference or analysis.
Data
A group of individual values or bits of information that are related in some way or have some common characteristic or attribute.
Data Set
A measurable extent, such as the three principal dimensions of an object as in width, height, and depth.
Dimension
A line which represents distance.
Dimension Lines
See line plot.
Dot Plot
The rate at which something occurs over a particular period or in a given sample.
Frequency
A diagram showing the relation between variable quantities, typically of two variables measured along a pair of lines at right angles.
Graph
A graph of vertical bars representing the frequency distribution of a set of data.
Histogram
A non-governmental global organization whose principal activity is the development of technical standards through consensus.
International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
An international system of units of measurement consisting of seven base units.
International System of Units (SI)
A method of visually displaying a distribution of data values where each data value is shown as a dot or mark above a number line. Also known as a dot plot.
Line Plot
A measure of center in a set of numerical data, computed by adding the values in a list and then dividing by the number of values in the list.
Mean
To determine the size, amount, or degree of an objectby comparison with a standard unit.
Measure
A measure of center in a set of numerical data. The median of a list of values is the value appearing at the center of a sorted version of the list ? or the mean of the two central values if the list contains an even number of values.
Median
The value that occurs most frequently in a given data set.
Mode
A function that represents the distribution of variables as a symmetrical bell-shaped graph.
Normal Distribution
A number value or algebraic equation that is used to control the size or location of a geometric figure.
Numeric Constraint
The degree to which repeated measurements show the same result.
Precision
- A straight-edged strip of rigid material marked at regular intervals and used to measure distances. 2. A proportion between two sets of dimensions used in developing accurate, larger or smaller prototypes, or models of design ideas.
