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

25
What are outliers and clusters?
An outlier is separated from all the other data well a cluster is gathered around the main piece of data
26
What is unimodal, biomodel, and multimodel?
Uni is 1, bio is 2, and multi is 3 peaks in graphs
27
whats an alternate angle on a parallel line?
An angle on the other side of the middle line
28
What is a co-interior angle on a parallel line?
Angles on the same side of the line both inside the parallel line (in the box)
29
What is a corresponding angle on a parallel line?
Angles on the same side of the line but one is inside the lines and ones outside
30
What are 3 types of triangles, how do you spell them, and what do they mean?
Scalene - no sides are equal. Isosceles - two sides are equal. Equilateral - all sides are equal.
31
What is it called when theres a triangle in a circle?
Semi - circle
32
What is the intercept in y = 5 - 2x and what is it called
5 and its called the y intercept
33
Where is the gradient found in this y = 5 - 2x.
The 2
34
What are the four line gradients called and positioning?
Positive (uphill), negative (downhill), undefined (up and down), zero (straight across)
34
What is the formula for gradients of a line?
y = mx + c
34
What way and where do the 4 quadrants go?
clockwise starting from top right corner
35
What are bearings?
Direction measure from north in a clockwise direction
35
What helps you to chose what function to use?
soh-cah-toa
36
What are the three sides of triangles called in trigonometry?
Opposite (opposite angle), hypotenuse (longest side), adjacent (remaining side)
36
What are pythagorus triples?
3,4,5
36
using trigonometry what symbol do you use to find short and long side?
short - times long - divide
36
How do you calculate a missing angle?
You push shift then sin cos or tan and bracket the two lengths of the sides
37
How do you find the length of short and long sides using pythagorus?
square root of : long side - add them both squared short side - minus them both squared
37
Difference between y intercept and gradient:
Gradient is the number with the x while the y intercept is just a number
38
how many decimal places do you round a angle to ?
1d.p
38
what is theta
it is a 0 with a line through it meaning unknown angle
39
what are inverse trig functions?
cos tan or sin with a -1
40
what is the difference between discrete and continuous data?
discrete u count continuous you measure
40
how many digits do you always right bearings in?
3 - you can add 0 at the start if needed
40
when you find short and long sides in trigonometry when do you times and divide?
when theres a number on the top you divide and when theres a number on the bottom you multiply
41
m = what in coordinates
m = rise/run
42
how do you use rise over run?
if the rise is 4 and the run is 2 the answer is 4/2 or 2/1 which is 2
43
when given 2 coordinates what do you do?
go across then up then draw a line between them
44
What is a multiple?
The numbers multiplied together
45
What is a factor?
Numbers that divide exactly into another number
46
When doing standard and ordinary form which i sis positive and which was is negative when moving the decimal point?
Positive - left Negative - right
47
How do you calculate GST of a number?
Divide by 1.15
48
How do you know to join the dots in a graph?
You join it if its continuous data
49
What is continuous data?
Normally something you can measure like heights
50
What is discrete data?
Normally an exact number like people in the class
51
cm3 is what
mL
52
When finding an angle if the numbers on the top or bottom what do you do?
If its on the top you divide, if the bottom, you times
53
How do you show relationships on graphs?
The closer the dots the stronger, if is going uphill then its positive
