Across:
1 A type of experiment used to estimate a population. On the first day a certain number, M, of the population, N is captured and tagged or marked. On the second day...
3 A smaller group of people or objects chosed from a larger group or population by a process giving equal chance of selection to all possible people or objects.
4 A number between zero and one that describes the likelihood that a given event will take place. For example the _______ of throwing a six with a single throw of one die is 1/6.
5 A diagram that is used to show relationships between sets.
7 A straight line drawn through or near to as many data points as possible on a scatterplot.
9 A graph that uses pictures to show and compare information.
10 An average of a set of data.
11 Middle number of a set of data when listed in order.
12 The number that appears most often in a set of data.
Down:
1 The collection of data from readily available sources, without emphasis on methodological rigor.
2 A variable that is itself a function of the result of a statistical experiment in which each outcome has a definite probability of occurrence; also called variate.
6 A method of displaying the median, quartiles, and extremes of a set of data using the number line.
8 Two sets of data plotted as ordered pairs in the coordinate plane.
