1. Bimodal two peaks 22. Univariate One variable is measured on a single

data experimental unit.
2. Bivariate data Two variables are measured on a single
experimental unit. 23. variable A characteristic that changes or varies over time
and/or for different individuals or objects under
3. Continuous if it can assume the infinitely many values
consideration.
corresponding to the points on a line
interval.
4. data A set of measurements
5. Discrete can assume only a finite or countable
number of values.
6. Dotplots The simplest graph for quantitative data
7. Dotplots Plots the measurements as points on a
horizontal axis, stacking the points that
duplicate existing points.
8. experimental is the individual or object on which a
unit variable is measured.
9. measurement results when a variable is actually measured
on an experimental unit.
10. Mound symmetric (mirror images)
shaped
11. Multivariate More than two variables are measured on a
data single experimental unit.
12. Outliers strange or unusual measurements that stand
out in the data set
13. pie graph or A single quantitative variable measured for
bar graph different population segments or for different
categories of classification can be graphed
using a _____ or _____.
14. Qualitative measure a quality or characteristic on each
variables experimental unit. (categorical data)
15. Quantitative measure a numerical quantity on each
variables experimental unit. (denoted by x)
16. A relative for a quantitative data set is a bar graph in
frequency which the height of the bar shows "how
histogram often" (measured as a proportion or relative
frequency) measurements fall in a particular
class or subinterval.
17. Skewed left a few unusually small measurements
18. Skewed right : a few unusually large measurements
19. Stem and Uses the actual numerical values of each
Leaf Plots data point.
