What does descriptive statistics involve?

Describing, summarizing, and organizing data

Why are graphical displays used in descriptive statistics?

Which of the following questions might you ask when analyzing a graph?

What is the approximate middle, or center, of the graph?

What is the title of the graph?

What is the color of the graph?

How many labels does the graph have?

What question would help you understand the spread of data values on a graph?

How spread out are the data values on the graph?

What is the title of the graph?

What is the color of the graph?

How many labels does the graph have?

Which question helps in understanding the overall shape of the graph?

What is the overall shape of the graph?

What is the title of the graph?

What is the approximate middle, or center, of the graph?

How many labels does the graph have?

What is an outlier in a data set?

A data point that is significantly greater or smaller than other data points in a data set.

A data point that is equal to the average of the data set.

A data point that is always the smallest value in the data set.

A data point that is always the largest value in the data set.

Why is it useful to identify outliers when analyzing data?

They may affect the calculation of descriptive statistics.

They can be ignored in all calculations.

They help in identifying the mean of the data set.

They always indicate an error in data collection.

Can outliers occur in any given data set and in any distribution?

Yes, outliers can occur in any given data set and in any distribution.

No, outliers only occur in normally distributed data sets.

No, outliers only occur in skewed data sets.

No, outliers only occur in large data sets.

What might outliers indicate in a dataset?

Experimental error or incorrect recording of data

High accuracy in data collection

When should an outlier be excluded from analysis?

If it is due to measurement or human error

If it is within the expected range

What is an outlier in the context of descriptive statistics?

B. A data point that is far distant from the rest of the values

A. A data point that is very close to the mean

C. A data point that is the median of the dataset

D. A data point that is the mode of the dataset

What is the mean of a data set?

The total of all the values divided by the size of the data set

The middle value of the data set

The most frequently occurring value in the data set

The difference between the highest and lowest values in the data set

When does the mean work well?

When the distribution is symmetric and there are no outliers

When the distribution is skewed

When the data set is very small

What is the median in a data set?

The middle value where exactly half of the data values are above it and half are below it

The most frequently occurring value

Why is the median considered a useful statistic?

It is robust and can reduce the effect of outliers

It is always the highest value in the data set

When is the median often used?

When the data is nonsymmetrical

When the data set is very small

When the data set has no outliers
