Histogram Scavenger Hunt

Front

What is a histogram?

Back

A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of numerical data, where data is grouped into ranges (bins) and the frequency of data points in each range is represented by the height of bars.

Front

What does the interval in a histogram represent?

Back

The interval in a histogram represents a range of values for the data being analyzed, showing how many data points fall within that range.

Front

How do you find the median in a histogram?

Back

To find the median in a histogram, you need to identify the interval that contains the middle value of the data set when it is ordered.

Front

What does it mean if a histogram is skewed right?

Back

If a histogram is skewed right, it means that the tail on the right side of the distribution is longer or fatter than the left side, indicating that there are a few high values.

Front

What is the mode in a histogram?

Back

The mode is the interval with the highest frequency in a histogram, representing the most common value range in the data set.

Front

What is the difference between mean and median?

Back

The mean is the average of all data points, while the median is the middle value when the data points are arranged in order.

Front

What does it mean if the mean is greater than the median?

Back

If the mean is greater than the median, it suggests that the data is skewed to the right, with some high values pulling the mean up.

Front

How can you determine the range of data from a histogram?

Back

The range of data can be determined by subtracting the lowest value from the highest value represented in the histogram.

Front

What is a frequency distribution?

Back

A frequency distribution is a summary of how often each value occurs in a data set, often represented visually in a histogram.

Front

What does it indicate if a histogram has two peaks?

Back

A histogram with two peaks is called bimodal, indicating that there are two different groups or categories within the data.
