1 Chapter 15 Vocabulary Practice Match each definition to its corresponding term. a. data b. statistical question c. population d. sample e. data analysis f. parameter g. statistic h. survey i. experiment 1. A method for collecting information by asking statistical questions. 2. An entire set of items from which data can be selected. 3. A characteristic of a population. 4. The facts or numbers that describe the results of an experiment or survey. 5. A question about a population or a sample. 6. A test performed to answer a question. 7. Collecting, organizing, and analyzing data to answer statistical questions. 8. The characteristic of a sample. 9. A selection from a population. Write the term that best completes each statement. 10. A(n) is a way of displaying categorical data by using either horizontal or vertical bars so that the height or length of the bars indicates the value for that category. 11. can only have values that are counting numbers. 12. A(n) is the number of times an item or number occurs in a data set. 13. Data for which each piece of data fits into exactly one of several different groups or categories are called. 14. A(n) is a graph that shows how parts of the whole relate to the whole, and how parts relate to other parts. 15. In a graph, the explains how each data set is represented by a color or a pattern. 16. A(n) is used to display categorical data when each category contains two different data sets. The two bars which represent each category are side by side, and space is used to separate the categories. 17. are data which can be placed on a numerical scale.

2 18. A(n) is a graph in which the frequencies of two different groups for a given category are stacked on top of one another in order to compare the parts to the whole. 19. can have values that are between two counting numbers. Write a definition for each of the following terms in your own words. 20. dot plot 21. distribution 22. symmetric 23. skewed right 24. skewed left 25. clusters 26. gaps 27. stem-and-leaf plot histogram 30. frequency table

4 PTS: 1 REF: 15.2 NAT: 6.SP ANS: A dot plot is a graph that displays discrete data that are graphed using a number line. 21. ANS: A distribution is the way in which data are distributed on a graph. 22. ANS: A distribution is symmetric when the left and right halves of the graph are mirror images of each other. There is usually a peak in the middle of a symmetric graph. 23. ANS: A distribution is skewed right when the peak of the data is to the left side of the graph and there are only a few data points to the right side of the graph. 24. ANS: A distribution is skewed left when the peak of the data is to the right side of the graph and there are only a few data points to the left side of the graph. 25. ANS: Clusters are areas of a graph where data are grouped close together. 26. ANS:

5 Gaps are areas of a graph where there are no data. 27. ANS: A stem-and-leaf plot is a graphical method used to represent ordered numerical data. Typically the stem is all the digits in the number except the right-most digit, which is the leaf. 28. ANS: A is a stem-and-leaf plot which allows for the comparison of two data sets in two columns. 29. ANS: A histogram is a graph that displays quantitative data using vertical or horizontal bars so that the height or length of the bars indicates the frequency. The number of data values in an interval is the frequency. The width of the bar represents the interval, while the height represents the frequency of values in that interval.
