Q

Describe measures of spread:

A

The middle 50% is the median, the bottom 25% is the lower quartile, and the top 25% is the top quartile.

Q

How do you know what correlation the graph is?

A

If its going uphill its positive and downhill is negative. If the dots are all together its perfect, if its kinda spread out its strong, if they are spread out but you can still see if its positive or negative then its moderate

Q

How do you know if its non-linear or no correlation?

A

Non-linear is if its going both uphill and down hill, no correlation is if you cant tell anything and the dots are spread out everywhere

soh-cah-toa

36
Q

What are the three sides of triangles called in trigonometry?

A

Opposite (opposite angle), hypotenuse (longest side), adjacent (remaining side)

36
Q

What are pythagorus triples?

A

3,4,5

36
Q

using trigonometry what symbol do you use to find short and long side?

A

short - times
long - divide

36
Q

How do you calculate a missing angle?

A

You push shift then sin cos or tan and bracket the two lengths of the sides

37
Q

How do you find the length of short and long sides using pythagorus?

A

square root of :
long side - add them both squared
short side - minus them both squared

37
Q

Difference between y intercept and gradient:

A

Gradient is the number with the x while the y intercept is just a number

38
Q

how many decimal places do you round a angle to ?

A

1d.p

38
Q

what is theta

A

it is a 0 with a line through it meaning unknown angle

39
Q

what are inverse trig functions?

A

cos tan or sin with a -1

40
Q

what is the difference between discrete and continuous data?

A

discrete u count continuous you measure

40
Q

how many digits do you always right bearings in?

A

3 - you can add 0 at the start if needed

40
Q

when you find short and long sides in trigonometry when do you times and divide?

A

when theres a number on the top you divide and when theres a number on the bottom you multiply

41
Q

m = what in coordinates

A

m = rise/run

42
Q

how do you use rise over run?

A

if the rise is 4 and the run is 2 the answer is 4/2 or 2/1 which is 2

43
Q

when given 2 coordinates what do you do?

A

go across then up then draw a line between them

44
Q

What is a multiple?

A

The numbers multiplied together

45
Q

What is a factor?

A

Numbers that divide exactly into another number

46
Q

When doing standard and ordinary form which i sis positive and which was is negative when moving the decimal point?

A

Positive - left
Negative - right

47
Q

How do you calculate GST of a number?

A

Divide by 1.15

48
Q

How do you know to join the dots in a graph?

A

You join it if its continuous data

49
Q

What is continuous data?

50
Q

What is discrete data?

A

Normally an exact number like people in the class

51
Q

cm3 is what

A
