Multimodal

Describes a graph of quantitative data with more than two clear peaks.

Empirical Rule

The rules gives the approximate % of observations w/in 1 standard deviation (68%), 2 standard deviations (95%) and 3 standard deviations (99.7%) of the mean when the histogram is well approx. by a normal curve

standard deviation

The standard deviation is always nonnegative. It is zero only if all the data values are exactly the same. The standard deviation can increase dramatically if there are one or more outliers in the data. The standard deviation is expressed in the same units as the original data values.

A/An is calculated by dividing the difference between a data value and the mean by the standard deviation.

Z score

standard deviation

a computed measure of how much scores vary around the mean score is the square root of the variance.

No mode

no data value is repeated

In order to help decide when and where to advertise, an electronics repair company decided to pull invoices and tally what types of products were repaired. There were twenty-five products repaired that month. What is the level of measurement for the data? Are the data qualitative or quantitative?

nominal qualitative

A legend is optional if a data table accompanies the graph.

false

Graphs are relatively dull in comparison to the raw data.

false

The population standard deviation and sample standard deviation are the same value for the same set of data.

false

The population variance and sample variance are the same value for the same set of data

false

It is possible to have a standard deviation of −1−1 for some data set.

false cannot be negative becasue square root cant be negative

Histogram

is a graphical representation of a frequency or relative frequency distribution. The horizontal scale corresponds to classes of quantitative data values and the vertical scale corresponds to the frequency or relative frequency of each class.

trimmed mean

is a modification of the arithmetical mean which ignores an equal percentage of the highest and lowest data values in calculating the mean.

skewed distribution

is a nonsymmetric (or asymmetric) distribution that extends more to one side than the other. The distribution is said to be skewed to the right (or positively skewed) if the tail to the right of the peak of the distribution is longer than the tail to the left of the peak. The distribution is said to be skewed to the left (or negatively skewed) if the tail to the left of the peak of the distribution is longer than the tail to the right of the peak.

the bar chart

is a simple graphical display in which the length of each bar corresponds to the number of observations in a category.

frequency distribution

is a summary technique that organizes data into classes and provides in tabular form a list of the classes along with the number of observations in each class

pth percentile

is a value, say x, such that approximately P percent of the data is less than or equal to x and approximately (100−P)100−P percent of the data is greater than or equal to X.

moving average

is obtained by adding consecutive observations for a number of periods and dividing the result by the number of periods included in the average

class width

is the difference between the lower limits or upper limits of two consecutive classes of a frequency distribution.

cumulative relative frequency

is the proportion of observations in a particular class and all preceding classes.

cumulative frequency

is the sum of the frequency of a particular class and all preceding classes.

proportion

measures the fraction of a group that possesses some characteristic X=X= the number of observations that possess the characteristic, N=N= the number of observations in the population, and n=n= the number of observations in the sample, then p=XN=p=XN= the population proportion, and pˆ=Xn=p^=Xn= the sample proportion.

For the following type of data set, would you be more interested in looking at the mean, median, or mode? The price of cars on a car lot

median

median

of a set of observations is the data value in the middle of an ordered array. The same number of data values is on either side of the median value.

relative frequency

of any class is the number of observations in the class divided by the total number of observations.

Clara is looking into investing a portion of her recent bonus into the stock market. While researching different companies, she discovers the following standard deviations of one year of daily stock closing prices. Perfect Plungers Plus: Standard deviation of stock prices =$1.22 Eye Remember Enterprises: Standard deviation of stock prices =$9.73 Based on the data and assuming these trends continue, which company would give Clara a stable long-term investment?

perfect plungers plus A smaller standard deviation indicates that the data values are closer together, while a larger standard deviation indicates that the data values are more spread out. A smaller standard deviation also indicates less variability in the data set.

popcorn sizes are mode and qualitative data

A manufacturer makes bags of popcorn and bags of potato chips. The average weight of a bag of popcorn is supposed to be 3.03 ounces with an allowable deviation of 0.03 ounces. The average weight of a bag of potato chips is supposed to be 5.06 ounces with an allowable deviation of 0.04 ounces. A factory worker randomly selects a bag of popcorn from the assembly line and it has a weight of 3.08 ounces. Then the worker randomly selects a bag of potato chips from the assembly line and it has a weight of 5.02 ounces. Which description closely matches the findings on the assembly line?

Suppose that shoe sizes of American women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 8.11 and a standard deviation of 1.46. Using the empirical rule, what percentage of American women have shoe sizes that are no more than 5.19? Please do not round your answer.

we determined that we need to subtract from the 50% of the data that is below the mean in order to calculate the percentage of data values in the region shaded on the graph to the right. The empirical rule says that approximately 95% of data lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean. Because of the symmetry of the distribution, half of this 95% is above the mean and half is below. Finally, use this information to calculate what percentage of American women have shoe sizes that are no more than 5.19 2.5%
