14723401137 | Variables | Characteristic of an individual | 0 | |
14723401138 | Categorical Variable | Places individual into a category | 1 | |
14723401139 | Quantitative Variable | Takes numerical values for which it makes sense to find an average | 2 | |
14723401140 | Frequency Table | Table of counts | 3 | |
14723401141 | Relative Frequency Table | Displays percents | 4 | |
14723401142 | Bar Graph | - Label axes - Title graph - Scale axes appropriately - Each bar should correspond to the appropriate count - Leave room between bars | 5 | |
14723401143 | Pie Chart | - Include all the categories that make up the whole - Counts will be percentages | 6 | |
14723401144 | Shape | Symmetric, skewed | 7 | |
14723401145 | Measures of Center | Mean, Median | 8 | |
14723401146 | Mean | - Most common measure of center - Arithmetic average | 9 | |
14723401147 | Median | - Midpoint of a distribution | 10 | |
14723401148 | Spread | Range, IQR | 11 | |
14723401149 | IQR | The middle 50% | 12 | |
14723401150 | IQR Equation | Q3 - Q1 | 13 | |
14723401151 | Outlier Equation | Less than Q1 - 1.5IQR Higher than Q3 + 1.5IQR | 14 | |
14723401152 | Dotplot | - Only need to properly label horizontal axis - Title - Each dot represents a count of 1 - Works well with a small data set | 15 | |
14723401153 | Stemplot | - Separate each piece of data into a "stem" and a "lead" - Write the stems vertically in increasing order from top to bottom - Write the leaves in increasing order out from the stem - Be very neat and leave the same amount of space between leaves - Title the graph - Include a key identifying what the stem and leaves represent - Works well with a small data set | 16 | |
14723401154 | Histogram | - Most common graph of a quantitative variable - The x-axis is continuous, no gaps between bars - Title the graph - Divide the range of data into classes of equal width - Label and scale the axes | 17 | |
14723401155 | Five-Number Summary | Minimum, Q1, Median, Q3, Maximum | 18 | |
14723401156 | Boxplot | - Drawn from Q1 to Q3 - Line in the middle marks the median - Lines extend from the box to the smallest and largest observations that aren't outliers | 19 | |
14723401157 | Standard Deviation | - Find the distance of each observation from the mean - Square each of these distances - Average the distances by dividing their sum by n-1 - Take the square root | 20 | |
14723401159 | When describing the overall pattern of a distribution, you must address... | - Center - Shape - Spread - Outliers | 21 | |

14723401160 | Is the mean sensitive to outliers? | The mean is sensitive to outliers. | 35 | |
14723401161 | If a distribution is skewed, use this measure of center | Median | 36 | |
14723401162 | Is the median sensitive to outliers? | The median is not sensitive to outliers. | 37 | |
14723401163 | If a distribution is exactly symmetric, the median and mean will be | Exactly the same | 38 | |
14723401164 | If the distribution is skewed left, the mean will | be less than median | 39 | |
14723401165 | If the distribution is skewed right, the mean will | be more than median | 40 |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
