| box-and-whisker plot | a visual display of the five number summary (Q1, Q2, Q3, minimum, maximum) of a set of data |
| circle graph | a graph that shows a circle divided into sectors in order to compare different parts of a data set to each other or to the entire set |
| coefficient | a numerical factor in a term containing variables |
| equation | a mathematical statement that 2 or more expressions are equivalent |
| experimental probability | a statement of probability based on the results of a series of actual trials; a ratio that compares the total number of times a favorable outcome occurred to the total number of times the experiment was done |
| mean | a measure of central tendency which is affected by all data points; calculated by finding the sum of the data values and dividing by the number of data points |
| median | a measure of central tendency that occupies the middle position of a data set in ranked order |
| mode | a measure of central tendency that is the most frequently occurring value |
| measures of central tendency | descriptive statistics that describe the center of the data set; mean, median, & mode |
| outcome | the result of an event in a probability experiment |
| sample space | the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment |
| scatter plot | a graph of paired data in which the data values are plotted as points in (x, y) format |
| scientific notation | a standardized way of writing real numbers in the form a x 10b |
| stem-and-leaf plot | a simple way to display the distribution of data |
| term | parts of an expression separated by + or - signs |
| theoretical probability | the ratio of the number of expected outcomes if the experiment is repeated over and over; P (E) |
| variable | a symbolic representation used to denote a quantity or expression, usually represented with an alphabetic letter |
