A

The bar graph thing with the frequency density on y axis, and some rando value on x axis

A

The line graph thing that can be correlated with boxplot.

Q

What boxplot?

And how to write/find values?

A

Is a boxplot with line corresponding to these:

  • Lowest value (is just the lowest…)
  • LQ (1/4 of whole thing)
  • Median ( the middle point)
  • UQ (3/4 of whole thing)
  • Highest value (is just the highest…)

Correlates with cumulative frequency

Q

How do u find IQR?

A

UQ - LQ = IQR
(3/4) - (1/4) = ^^^

Q

How do u compare distributions of box plots?

A

You just talk about literally the values man, compare them

Q

What are outliers?
What formula? Not in data booklet
and how to find them?

A

Data points found below 1.5 x IQR the LQ OR above 1.5 x IQR the UQ

Formula:
(Q1 - (1.5 X IQR))
(Q3 - (1.5 x IQR))

How to find them:
1) You got ur data set
2) Find ur UQ & LQ:
- U either got it ez with boxplot
- Or, find it urself from the given data set by:
Find median (n+1/2)
Then it’s ur 1/4 or 3/4 typ shi

3) Find ur outliers using formula:
- For Q1, it’s numbers below the number u calculated
- For Q3, it’s numbers above “

That bout’ it

Q

How to tell if box plot positively skewed?
whats it mean too?

A

Median more closer or LQ

When mean > median. Data constitute higher frequency of high valued scores

Q

How to tell if box plot negatively skewed?
whats it mean too?

A

Median more closer to UQ

When mean < median. Data constitute higher frequency of low valued scores

Q

How to tell if it’s symmetric skew from some rando ahh bar graph?

A

It’s just in the middle…
also similarly to box plot for finding if positive/negative skew

Q

In a graph, how to find out if it’s a perfect positive correlation or weak?

A

Depends on how closer each point is towards the “line of best fit”

Q

How to answer them regression questions?

A

1) You are given the regression equation
2) Interpreted with y=mx + c or y = a+ bx
3) How to interpret y or m in context?:
- Look in book, this too big D:
- Check photos
(this probably the hardest part for me for regression)

4) Most of the time tho, u just sub in the certain value within equation to find ur answers.
For finding out whether ur answer is accurate or not from question, based on the data range. Like if it’s within data range or not.

Q

Not too sure how to explain these measures of spread. But from what I see:
- Given data set
- Use calculator to find values of these:
1. Mean (x̄)
2. n (wth is that)
3. Sum of x values (∑x)
4. Sum of x² values (∑x²)
5. Population variance (σ²x)
6. Sample variance (s²x)
7. Population standard deviation (σx)
8. Sample standard deviation (sx)
9. Lower quartile (Q1)
10. Upper quartile (Q3)
11. Median (med)

A

Oki doki?

17
Q

Additionally, there’s in depth detail for mean and standard deviation for when u aren’t given some data table. Like there’s some rando formula for this sooooo… ye look in book?

A

18
Q

I’ll perhaps make another deck exclusively for each definition of the symbols 2 flashcards before

A

Makes sense
