- The ____ is the arithmetic average of a data set, calculated by summing all values and dividing by the number of observations.
Show answer
mean- The ____ is the middle value of a data set when all values are ordered from smallest to largest.
Show answer
median- The ____ is the most frequently occurring value in a data set.
Show answer
mode- In a data set with an even number of observations, the median is calculated as the ____.
Show answer
average of the two middle values- A distribution is called ____ when it has two distinct peaks or most frequent values.
Show answer
bimodal- In a ____ distribution, the mean, median, and mode are all equal and the curve is symmetric and bell-shaped.
Show answer
normal (Gaussian)- In a ____ distribution, approximately 68 percent of values fall within one standard deviation of the mean.
Show answer
normal- In a normal distribution, approximately ____ percent of values fall within two standard deviations of the mean.
Show answer
95- In a normal distribution, approximately ____ percent of values fall within three standard deviations of the mean.
Show answer
99.7- A distribution is ____ when the mean is greater than the median and the tail extends to the right.
Show answer
positively (right) skewed- A distribution is ____ when the mean is less than the median and the tail extends to the left.
Show answer
negatively (left) skewed- In a right-skewed distribution, outliers pull the ____ more than the median, making it the higher of the two measures.
Show answer
mean- The ____ is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data set.
Show answer
range- The ____ is the average of the squared deviations of each value from the mean.
Show answer
variance- The ____ is the square root of the variance and expresses variability in the same units as the original data.
Show answer
standard deviation
