🗑
symbol that represents an unknown number   variable  
🗑
fixed quantity that cannot change   constant  
🗑
a number that multiplies a variable ex: 5y   coefficient  
🗑
a string of numbers, mathematical operations, and an equal sign that tells you a math fact   number sentence  
🗑
>,<...instead of =   inequalities  
🗑
mathematical phrase that may include numbers, variables, and operators basically like a sentence   algebraic expression  
🗑
constants, variables, and products of constants and variables   terms  
🗑
individual terms that have the same variable   like-terms  
🗑
the process of simplifying expressions by joining terms that have the same variable   combining like-terms  
🗑
the steepness of a line; measures steepness of objects   slope  
🗑
y=m x + b m=slope (if no number, then slope=1); b= y-intercept   equation of a line  
🗑
a set of descriptive measures that indicate the typical score   measures of central tendency  
🗑
the average   mean  
🗑
"most often"; 2 or more numbers occurring at the same time (so report both)   mode  
🗑
the complete collection to be studied   population  
🗑
a section/part of the population anywhere from 1%-99% of population   sample  
🗑
finding the probability of a single event occurring # of favorable outcomes/# of total outcomes   probability of simple events  
🗑
involve the probability of more than one event happening together # of favorable outcomes/# of total outcomes (multiply the probabilities together)   compound events  
🗑
events that add together to equal a whole or one   complementary events  
🗑
events that don't affect the outcome   independent events  
🗑
events that affect the outcome   dependent events  
🗑
probability using a logical approach to theorize how likely it is that a given situation will occur # of favorable outcomes/# of probable outcomes   theoretical probability  
🗑
devises tests and experiments whose results are used to determine probability   experimental probability  
🗑
express the likelihood of an event through the use of numbers between 0 & 1   probability values  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
