What is a histogram?

• A type of bar chart that represents the frequency of data within certain intervals.

• A line graph that shows trends over time.

• A pie chart that represents parts of a whole.

• A scatter plot that shows the relationship between two variables.

What are independent events in probability?

• Independent events are events whose outcomes do not affect each other.

• Independent events are events that always occur together.

• Independent events are events that cannot occur at the same time.

• Independent events are events whose outcomes always affect each other.

What is a line of best fit?

• A line of best fit is a straight line drawn through a scatter plot of data points that best expresses the relationship between those points.

• A line of best fit is a curve that passes through all data points exactly.

• A line of best fit is a vertical line that divides the data into two equal parts.

• A line of best fit is a line that connects the maximum and minimum values in the data set.

What is an inequality in mathematics?

• A mathematical statement that shows the relationship between two expressions that are not equal

• A mathematical statement that shows the relationship between two equal expressions

• A mathematical operation involving addition and subtraction

• A mathematical operation involving multiplication and division

What is a dependent variable?

• A variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment

• A variable that is measured and affected in an experiment

• A variable that remains constant throughout the experiment

• A variable that is not related to the experiment

What is an independent variable?

• A variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment.

• A variable that is measured and affected in a scientific experiment.

• A variable that remains constant throughout the experiment.

• A variable that is not related to the experiment.

Substitution in mathematics is a method used to:

• replace variables with their values

• solve equations by elimination

• find the derivative of a function

• integrate a function

What is an exterior angle in geometry?

• An exterior angle is an angle formed outside a polygon when one side is extended.

• An exterior angle is an angle formed inside a polygon between two adjacent sides.

• An exterior angle is an angle formed at the center of a polygon.

• An exterior angle is an angle formed by two parallel lines.

What is an interior angle in geometry?

• An interior angle is an angle formed inside a polygon by two adjacent sides.

• An interior angle is an angle formed outside a polygon by two non-adjacent sides.

• An interior angle is an angle formed at the center of a circle.

• An interior angle is an angle formed by extending one side of a polygon.

What is a transversal in geometry?

• A transversal is a line that passes through two or more other lines in the same plane at different points.

• A transversal is a line that never intersects any other line.

• A transversal is a line that is parallel to all other lines in a plane.

• A transversal is a line that forms a right angle with every line it meets.
