| Definition | Term |
| sytematically recorded information | |
| the cases we actually examine in seeking to understand the much larger population | |
| holds information about the same characteristic for many cases | |
| this gives the possible values of the variable and the relative frequency of each value | |
| this type of chart is also a food | |
| when the conditional distribution of one variable is the same for each category | |
| a region of the distribution where there are no values | |
| the place in the distribution of a variable that you would point to if you wanted to attempt to summarize the distribution with a number | |
| a distribution that is roughly flat is said to be | |
| when each side of the center looks equal | |
| extreme values that don't appear to belong with the rest of the data | |
| middle value; half the data above, half below | |
| difference between first and third quarters | |
| square root of the variance | |
| square of the standard deviation | |
| displays the five number summary as the central box with whiskers | |
| when a point is more than 3.0 IQR from either end of the box in a box plot | |
| value found by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation | |
| tells how many standard deviations a value is from the mean | |
| a useful family of models for unimodal, symmetric distributions | |
