This is the difference between the
largest number and smallest
number in a data set.
2
What is the range?
3
You must calculate the five
number summary to construct
this.
4
What is a box and whisker plot?
5
These are the ways that a
histogram differs from a bar
graph.
6
What are “no spaces between the
bars in a histogram” and “the yaxis is always the frequency”?
7
These are the items in a five number
summary.
8
What are the minimum, lower
quartile, median, upper quartile, and
the maximum?
9
These are more than 1.5 times the
IQR less than the lower quartile or
more than 1.5 times the IQR more
than the upper quartile.
10
What are outliers?
11
This is the median of 92, 98, 15,
92, 87, and 92.
12
What is 92?
13
This is the mean of 92, 98, 15, 92,
87, and 92 rounded to the nearest
whole number.
14
What is 79?
15
This is the interquartile range of 378,
410, 370, 336, 361, 394, 345, 328,
388, and 339.
16
What is 49?
17
This is the median of the following
stem-and-leaf plot:
1| 227
2| 33344566889
3| 0146
4| 06
18
What is 26?
19
This is the UQ of the following
stem-and-leaf plot:
5| 5899
6| 0012233456788
7| 012
20
What is 67.5?
21
This describes the center of a set of
data, and it takes into account the
value of each data point.
22
What is the mean?
23
This lists one place value on one side
of a vertical bar, and the other in
numerical order on the other side. It
usually also gives a key.
24
What is a stem-and-leaf plot?
25
This is a chart that uses tally marks
and categories to organize data.
26
What is a frequency table?
27
This is the name for the categories
used in a frequency table.
28
What is an interval?
29
This is the name for the line drawn
from the UQ to the maximum in a
box-and-whisker plot.
30
What is a “whisker”?
31
I would use this to describe the
typical number of cars owned by a
person in Lexington.
32
What is the mean?
33
