5539436439IndividualsObjects described by a set of data0
5539436440VariableAny characteristic of an individual. Can take different values for different individuals1
5539436441Categorical VariablePlaces an individual into one of several groups or categories2
5539436442Quantitative VariableTakes numerical values for which it makes sense to find an average3
5539436443DistributionTells us what values the variable takes and how often it takes these values4
5539436444Pie Chart...5
5539436445Bar Graph (or Bar Chart)...6
5539436446Marginal DistributionDistribution of values of that variable among all individuals described by the table7
5539436447Conditional DistributionDescribes the values of that variable among individuals who have a specific value of another variable. There is a separate conditional distribution for each value of the other variable8
5539436448Frequencyhow often something happens9
5539436449Relative Frequencyhow often a specific event occurred compared to the total number of events10
5539436450Two-way Table...11
5539436451AssociationThere is association if knowing the value of one variable helps predict the other12
5539436452Segmented Bar Graph...13
5539436453Side by Side bar graph...14
5539436454Dot plot...15
5539436455Overall PatternDescribed by shape, center, and spread out, plus outliers16
5539436456ShapePeaks, clusters, gaps, outliers, symmetry, skews17
5539436457CenterMidpoint18
5539436458SpreadRange19
5539436459OutliersA value is an Outlier if it's more than 1.5 * IQR above the third quartile or below the first quartile20
5539436460Symmetrythe same on both sides of the center21
5539436461Skewlower on that side22
5539436462UnimodalOnly one mode, single peak23
5539436463BimodalTwo clear peaks24
5539436464MultimodalMore than two clear peaks25
5539436465Stem plot...26
5539436466Histogram...27
5539436467DepartureOutlier28
5539436468Modemost often occurring value29
5539436469MeanSum of all observations / number of observations30
5539436470MedianMidpoint, to find arrange value from smallest to largest and find the center, if the number of values is even there will be two centers, so find the average of the centers31
5539436471RangeSmallest value subtracted from largest value32
5539436472Interquartile Range (IQR)1/4 of the way up the values, so the median between the first value and median33
5539436473Second Quartile (Q2)Median34
5539436474Third Quartile (Q3)3/4 the way up the values, so the median between the median and last value35
5539436475Interquartile Range (IQR)First Quartile subtracted from the Third Quartile, Q3 - Q136
5548090476Five Number SummarySmallest observation, first Quartile, median, third quartile, largest observation, written from smallest to largest37
5548090477How to make a box plotA central box is drawn from the first Quartile to the third quartile A line in the box marks the median Lines (called whiskers) extend from the box out to the smallest and largest observations that are not outliers Outliers are marked with a special symbol such as an asterisk38
5548090478Standard deviationMeasures the typical distance of the values in a distribution from the mean Square root of the variance39
5548090479VarianceAverage squared deviation40
5548090480How to Organize a Statistics ProblemState: What's the question you're trying to answer? Plan: How will you go about answering the question? What statistical techniques does this problem call for? Do: Make graphs and carry out needed calculations. Conclude: Give your conclusion in the setting of the real-world problem.41
5548090210Five Number SummarySmallest observation, first Quartile, median, third quartile, largest observation, written from smallest to largest42
