| 7361590650 | Histogram | A graph that uses adjacent bars to show the distribution of a quantitative variable. Each bar represents the frequency (or relative frequency) of values falling in each bin. | 0 | |
| 7361598588 | Gap | A region of the distribution where there are no values. | 1 | |
| 7361604345 | Shape (of a histogram) | A description of a histograms Modes, Symmetry, Outliers, and Gaps. | 2 | |
| 7361610542 | Center (of a histogram) | The place in the distribution of a variable that you'd point to if you wanted to attempt the impossible by summarizing the entire distribution with one number. Measurements include Mean and Median. | 3 | |
| 7361620976 | Spread (of a histogram) | A numerical summary of how tightly the values are clustered around the center. Measures include IQR (Interquartile Range) and Standard Deviation. | 4 | |
| 7361635786 | Unimodal | Having one mode | 5 | |
| 7361637883 | Skewed | A distribution that is not symmetric and has one tail that stretches out farther than the other | 6 | |
| 7361643402 | Skewed left | A distribution with a tail that stretches farther to the left than to the right. | 7 | |
| 7361647693 | Skewed Right | A distribution with a tail that stretches farther to the right than to the left. | 8 | |
| 7361651233 | Outliers | An extreme value that doesn't appear to belong with the rest of the data. | 9 | |
| 7361658182 | Interquartile Range | The difference between the 3rd quartile and the 1st quartile. Also known as the middle 50% | 10 | |
| 7361663466 | Percentile | The percent that falls below the n% of the data. | 11 | |
