 frequency table – table that lists each item in a data set and number of times each item occurs

 line plot – graph that shows the shape of a data set by stacking x’s above each data value on a number line.

What does each x stand for?

4 customers 8 customers customers

 histogram – bar graph with no spaces between the bars. Height of each bar shows frequency of data. Intervals are of equal size and do not overlap.

About 12 people 15. Find frequency of each interval and add them together 16. no; about 9 people saw either 6 or 7 movies

Venn Diagram – shows relationship between sets of items. each set is represented separately items that belong to both sets are represented by the intersection

 spreadsheet – tool for organizing and analyzing data  cell – box where column and row of spreadsheet meet. Letter and number are used to identify each cell.

Lawn mowing $62 yes

125 C2 51 tickets Friday had the greatest overall attendance, but Saturday had greatest number of adults attend.

 double bar graph– graph that uses bars to compare two sets of data  legend – key that identifies data that are compared.

2004

 double line graph– graph that compares changes in two sets of data over time

Intersect 2005 About 130 million

 Stem and leaf plot – graph that uses digits of each number to show the data distrubution  stem – digit or digits on the left  leaf – digit or digits on the right

2 males 56 in; 50 in 70 inch No, median is 58.5 in yes, mode is 65 in Yes, = 20

 Population – group of objects or people  sample – part of the population  random sample – when each member of population has the same chance of being selected

a.Not a random sample; may get only people shopping after work b.Random sample; you won’t get just people shopping after work

Random sample; selected students represent the population Not random sample; students who use vending machine may not represent all types of students

 biased question – question that makes some answers appear better than others or makes an unjustified assumption

fair Biased; Do you prefer hardwood floors in your home?

fair Biased; how many serving of fruits and vegetables do you eat? Biased; do you prefer thick carpeting? Biased; does tv news portray life accurately?

To estimate population size researchers use the capture/recapture method. They collect, mark, and release animals. Then they capture another group of animals. Marked animals in second group indicates population size.

435 animals 1450 animals 2075 animals 151 animals 625 animals 1260 animals 4033 animals 2357 animals

4109 ducks 1744 alligators
