What is a frequency distribution | the pattern of a set of numbers by displaying a count or proportion for each possible variable |
What is a frequency table | a visual depiction of data that shows how often each value occurred that is how many scores were at each value.Values are listed in one column and scores are listed in second column |
What is a histogram | It looks like a bar graph but is typically used to depict scale data with the x-axis and the frequencies on the y-axis |
What is a frequency polygon | is a line graph with the x-axis representing values or midpoints of intervals and the y-axis representing frequencies. A dot is placed at the frequency and connected |
What is a grouped frequency table | a visual depiction of data that reports the frequencies within a given interval rather than the frequencies for a specific value |
What is a normal distribution | a specific frequency distribution that is a bell shaped symmetric uni-modal curve |
What does positively skewed mean | the distribution tail extends to the right in a positive direction |
What is the floor effect | a situation in which a constraint prevents a variable from taking on values below a certain point |
What is the ceiling effect | a situation in which a constraint prevents a variable from taking on values above a given number |
