| Definition | |
| A visual way of comparing information in which two different quantities are represented by the lengths of bars. | |
| A graphical method of showing the joint distribution of two variables in which each point on the graph represents a pair of values. | |
| A variable whose values depend on the independent variable (vertical axis) | |
| A straight-line graph that best represents a set of data | |
| The apparent relationship between two variables | |
| A linear model used to fit a line to a data set. The line is fit only to key point calculated using medians. | |
| The process of fitting a line or curve to a set of data | |
| A variable whose values are arbitrarily chosen. (Horizontal axis) | |
| A number from +1 to -1 that gives the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. Notation: (r) | |
| The vertical distance between a data point and the line of best fit. | |
| Refers to the entire group about which data is being collected. | |
| Information providing the basis of a discussion from which conclusions can be drawn. | |
