Q

marginal distribution

A

Entries in the “Total” row and “Total” column of a two-way table

22
Q

conditional distribution

A

The relative frequencies in the body of a table

23
Q

segmented bar graph

A

A graph of frequency distribution for categorical data set

24
Q

side-by-side bar graph

A

a graph that can be used to organise and display the data that arises when a group of individuals or things are categorised according to two or more criteria

25
Q

association

A

any relationship between two variables

26
Q

simpson’s paradox

A

a phenomenon in probability and statistics in which a trend appears in several groups of data but disappears or reverses when the groups are combined

27
Q

dotplot

A

a type of graphic display used to compare frequency counts within categories or groups

28
Q

shape

A

describes the distribution (or pattern) of the data within a dataset

29
Q

mode

A

the most frequently appearing value in a population or sample

30
Q

center

A

the middle of a distribution

31
Q

spread

A

the extent to which a distribution is stretched or squeezed

32
Q

range

A

difference between the biggest and smallest random variable in a data set

33
Q

outlier

A

a data point that diverges greatly from the overall pattern of data

34
Q

symmetry

A

an attribute used to describe the shape of a data distribution that, when graphed, can be divided at the center so that each half is a mirror image of the other

35
Q

skewed right

A

distributions with fewer observations on the right (toward higher values)

36
Q

skewed left

A

distributions with fewer observations on the left (toward higher values)

37
Q

unimodal

A

distributions with one clear peak

38
Q

bimodal

A

distributions with two clear peaks

39
Q

multimodal

A

a probability distribution with more than one peak, or “mode”

40
Q

stemplot

A

a graph used to display quantitative data, generally from small data sets (50 or fewer observations) in which the entries on the left are called stems; and the entries on the right are called leaves

41
Q

splitting stems

A

a term used to describe stem-and-leaf plots that have more than 1 space on the stem for the same interval

42
Q

back-to-back stemplots

A

a graphic option for comparing data from two populations in which the center consists of a column of stems with a vertical line on each side, while leaves representing one data set extend from the right, and leaves representing the other data set extend from the left.

43
Q

plot

A

a graphical technique for representing a data set, usually as a graph showing the relationship between two or more variables

44
Q

histogram

A

a graph made up of columns plotted on a graph in which the columns are positioned over a label that represents a continuous, quantitative variable and the height of the column indicates the size of the group defined by the column label

45
Q

mean

A

an average score, often denoted by X that is calculated by finding the sum of individual scores and dividing by by the number of individuals

46
Q

median

A

a simple measure of central tendency found by arranging the observations in order from smallest to largest value and finding the center value (if there are two center values, the median is the average of those two)

47
Q

interquartile range (iqr)

A

a measure of variability found by subtracting Q1 (the middle value in the first half of a data set) from Q3(the middle value in the second half of a data set)

48
Q

five-number summary

A

a set of descriptive statistics that provides information about a dataset consisting of the sample minimum (smallest observation), the lower quartile or first quartile, the median (the middle value), the upper quartile or third quartile, and the sample maximum (largest observation)

49
Q

boxplot

A

a type of graph used to display patterns of quantitative data that consists of a “box” (hence, the name), which goes from the first quartile (Q1) to the third quartile (Q3) and two “whiskers” that go from the ends of the box to the largest (for the right whisker) and smallest (for the left) non-outliers (outliers are plotted as separate points)

50
Q

standard deviation

A

a numerical value used to indicate how widely individuals in a group vary that is equal to the square root of the variance

51
Q

variance

A

a numerical value used to indicate how widely individuals in a group vary that is calculated using the mean, a certain element of a population/sample, and the total number of elements in said sample/population
