  • A graph that uses dots plotted against a vertical scale to represent data values.
    Dotplot
  • A graph that uses connected data points to show frequency against class midpoints
    Frequency polygon (not relative frequency polygon)
  • What is the name for a distribution where all the frequencies are almost equivalent?
    Uniform distribution
  • Which graph consists of bars of equal width and explains numerical data?
    Histogram
  • A graph that uses connected data points to show relative frequency against class midpoints
    Relative frequency polygon (not frequency polygon)
  • A bar graph that uses percentages and categories
    Pareto chart
  • What does cumulative frequency tells us about the frequency in a class?
    Gives the number of subjects or data that is included in the classes "less than" a certain value. (Ex. 20 people are less than 6' tall )
  • What graph uses relative frequency (y-axis) and class midpoints (x-axis)?
    Relative Frequency Polygon
  • A graph that uses cumulative frequencies and class boundaries
    Ogive
  • A graph that shows categorical data as pieces of a circle
    Pie chart
  • Which graph plots data against time?
    Time-series graph
  • Which graph consists of bars of equal width and is used to represent categorical data?
    Bar graph (also a multiple bar graph)
  • The sum of the relative frequencies (given as decimals) in a frequency distribution must be very close to ___.
    1
  • A diagram that separates numerical data into two parts
    Stemplot (or stem-and-leaf plot)
  • The sum of the percentages in a frequency distribution must be very close to ____.
    100% (Not 100)
  • What diagram uses data as plotted points to show a relationship between two variables?
    Scatterplot
