What creates a solar flare?

• NASA missions Helga and Zohar

• Magnetic fields on the sun interacting

• Explosions on the moon colliding

• Radiation phantoms

What is a sun spot?

What is the purpose of Helga and Zohar?

• to act as stand-ins for humans to detect radiation.

• to count sun spots

• to calculate deep space phantoms

• to study cancer

What is one way to trace the radiation cycle in space?

• Measure the sun temperature at the north pole of the earth

• Count sun spots.

• Measure the number of cancer patients on earth.

• Create explosions.

What is another word that describes the Q₂ value?

• mode

• medican

• median

• multiple

Match the following

• first quartile

• the median of all numbers to the left of Q₂

• the number of values in the data set

• n represents this in a quartile algorithm

• interquartile range

• the median of the number to the right of Q₂

• third quartile

• the interquartlie range measures

• the middle 50% of data

• the value that is represented by Q₃ - Q₁
