Data Facts and statistics used for reference or analysis.
Data Set A group of individual values or bits of information that are related in some way or have some common characteristic or attribute.
Dimension A measurable extent, such as the three principal dimensions of an object as in width, height, and depth.
Dimension Lines A line which represents distance.
Dot Plot See line plot.
Frequency The rate at which something occurs over a particular period or in a given sample.
Graph A diagram showing the relation between variable quantities, typically of two variables measured along a pair of lines at right angles.

Scatter Plot A graph in the coordinate plane representing a set of bivariate data.
Significant Digits The digits in a decimal number that carry meaning contributing to the precision or accuracy of the quantity.
Standard Deviation The distance of a value in a population (or sample) from the mean value of the population (or sample).
