the horizontal and vertical edges of the graph | axis |
displays data with vertical or horizontal bars | bar graph |
horizontal and vertical lines that are used to locate an ordered pair | coordinate grid |
a column that shows a running total of all frequencies | cumulative frequency |
uses bars to show two sets of related data | double bar graph |
uses line segments to show two sets of related data over a period of time | double line graph |
tells the number of times an event, category or group occurs | frequency table |
a bar graph that shows the number of data items that occur within each interval | histogram |
parallel to the horizon; goes across | horizontal |
the gap between the numerical values of one axis on a graph | interval |
displays a set of data using line segments; generally used to show data over a period of time | line graph |
the sum of all the items divided by the number of items in the set | mean |
the middle value when the data set is placed in numerical order | median |
a graph that uses an irregular interval, gap in the scale or bar size to persuade you to see the data for the purposes of the graph maker | misleading |
the value or values that occur most often | mode |
a pair of numbers (x,y) used to locate a point on a coordinate grid | ordered pair |
a value in a set that is very different from other values | outlier |
the difference between the least and greatest values in the set | range |
