| within experimental data, the number that occurs the most | mode |
| within experimental data, the # that is in the middle | median |
| average | mean |
| variable that is changed in an experiment | independent variable |
| the independent variable is always placed on this axis of a graph | x axis |
| the dependent variable is place on this axis of a graph | y axis |
| numerical data collected during an experiment | quantitative data |
| non-numerical data | qualitative data |
| the comparison group in an experiment | control |
| an experiment can only test one of these at a time | variable |
| a prediction of the outcome of the experiment | hypothesis |
| quantitative data that is collected in an experiment in response to the independent variable | dependent variable |
| reasonable interpretation of the data | inference |
| if a large difference is observed between the control and experimental group, the data is said to be.. | significant |
| a variable is found in this part of an experiment | experimental group |
| The title should be | descriptive |
