Mr. Kelly from Kaiserslautern High School explains data distributions, focusing on dot plots and histograms. He demonstrates how to calculate mean and median, discusses distribution shapes, and explains skewed distributions with examples. The video also covers estimating mean and median from graphs and reviews stem plots and the impact of outliers.

What is a data distribution?

• A type of data entry

• A list of numbers

• A mathematical formula

• A graph showing data frequency

When is a dot plot most useful?

• For datasets with no values

• For datasets with only one value

• For datasets with 20 or fewer values

• For datasets with more than 100 values

How do you calculate the mean from a dot plot?

• Add all values and divide by the number of values

• Find the middle value

• Subtract the smallest value from the largest

• Multiply all values together

What is a normal distribution often called?

• A random distribution

• A skewed distribution

• A bell curve

• A flat line

What does bimodal mean in terms of data distribution?

• Data with no mode

• Data with two modes

• Data with one mode

• Data with three modes

What is an example of skewed left data?

• Household income

• GPA scores

• Number of pets

• Height of students

In skewed right data, how does the mean compare to the median?

• The mean is less than the median

• The mean is not related to the median

• The mean is equal to the median

• The mean is greater than the median

How do you estimate the median from a graph?

• Find the lowest point

• Cut the graph in half

• Find the highest point

• Add all values together

What does a stem plot represent?

• A list of random numbers

• A type of mathematical equation

• A way to organize data values

• A graph of data frequency

How do outliers affect the mean?

• They have no effect

• They make the mean higher

• They make the mean lower

• They make the mean equal to the median
