| A | B |
| quantitative data | has a numeric value (discrete, continuous) |
| independent variable | is represented on the x-axis of a scatter diagram. |
| scatter diagram | Show the relationship between two quantitative variables. |
| interpolation | Predicting values inside the range of the given data. |
| dependent variable | is represented on the y-axis of a scatter diagram. |
| outlier | a member of the data set which does not fit with the general pattern of the rest of the data. (an anomaly) |
| bivariate data | Data from two variables. |
| line of best fit | A straight line drawn through the middle of a set of data points so they are equally distributed on either side of the line. |
| extrapolation | Predicting values outside the range of the given data. |
| correlation | is a measure of the association between two variables. |
