Take the four question quiz on the right side of the page near the top. If you don't feel ready review the vocabulary and/or the additional resources at the bottom of the page.
BOX-AND-WHISKER PLOT: A data display that shows the median, quartiles, maximum, and minimum terms along a number line.
INTER QUARTILE RANGE (IQR): The difference (range) of the upper quartile and lower quartile
MAXIMUM: The largest term in a data set
MEAN: The "average" of a data set found by dividing the sum of the terms by the number of terms
MEDIAN: The middle term in a data set when the terms are in order from least to greatest, if there are two terms, the median is the mean of the two digits
MINIMUM: The smallest term in a data set
MODE: The most common term or terms in a data set
OUTLIER: A term that lies far outside the range and trend of other data points in a set; formally defined as less than Q1 - 1.5(IQR) or more than Q3 + 1.5(IQR)
QUARTILE: The median of the upper half and lower half of a data set (not including the median)
