6th CCSSM Stat/prob

6th Statistics and Probability - COMMON CORE - COMPLETE

TermDefinition
statistics a branch of applied mathematics concerned with collecting, organizing, and interpreting data. The data are represented by means of graphs; also the mathematical study of the likelihood and probability of events occurring based on known quantitative data o
data A collection of facts, such as numbers, words, measurements, observations or even just descriptions of things
variability refers to how spread out a group of data is. In other words, variability measures how much your scores differ from each other; also referred to as dispersion or spread. Data sets with similar values are said to have little variability, while data sets tha
distribution When data seems to be "gathered" around a particular value
histogram A graphical display where the data is grouped into ranges (such as "40 to 49", "50 to 59", etc), and then plotted as bars. Similar to a Bar Graph, but in this each bar is for a range of data.
box plots A method of visually displaying a distribution of data values by using the median, quartiles, and extremes of the data set. A box shows the middle 50% of the data.1
median a measure of center in a set of numerical data. The median of a list of values is the value appearing at the center of a sorted version of the list—or the mean of the two central values, if the list contains an even number of values. Example: For the data
mean A measure of center in a set of numerical data, computed by adding the values in a list and then dividing by the number of values in the list.4 Example: For the data set {1, 3, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 22, 120}, the mean is 21.
dot plot A method of visually displaying a distribution of data values where each data value is shown as a dot or mark above a number line. Also known as a line plot.
histogram A graphical display where the data is grouped into ranges (such as "40 to 49", "50 to 59", etc), and then plotted as bars. Similar to a Bar Graph, but in this each bar is for a range of data.
frequency tables tables that show the number of occurrences of a particular item in a set of data
cluster When data seems to be "gathered" around a particular value.
peak the highest point in a graph
gap the ''large'' open space between some data points
interquartile range A measure of variation in a set of numerical data, the interquartile range is the distance between the first and third quartiles of the data set. Example: For the data set {1, 3, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 22, 120}, the interquartile range is 15 – 6 = 9. See a
measures of center is a value that attempts to describe a set of data by identifying the central position of the data set
measures of variability measure of the spread of a data set.
Mean Absolute Deviation (M.A.D.) A measure of variation in a set of numerical data, computed by adding the distances between each data value and the mean, then dividing by the number of data values. Example: For the data set {2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 22, 120}, the mean absolute deviat
quartiles The values that divide a list of numbers into quarters.
lower quartile (1st quartile or Q1) the median of the lower half of a set of data.
symmetrical when one shape becomes exactly like another if you flip, slide or turn it.
skewed (skewness) in statistics, a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable about its mean.
summary statistics The information that gives a quick and simple description of the data. Can include mean, median, mode, minimum value, maximum value, range, standard deviation, etc.
outlier an element of a data set that distinctly stands out from the rest of the data.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
