Questions and answers, rated A+
Additive inverse - ✔✔-Values that are equally far from 0 on the number line.
Algebraic expression - ✔✔-String of terms connected by division, addition, and subtraction.
Base - ✔✔-The number an exponent is written next to
Blind experimental study - ✔✔-When information of a study isn't revealed to the participants
Box plot - ✔✔-an image that has 5 number summary:
min, Q1, median, Q3, max,
Boxplot - ✔✔-an image that has min, Q1, median, Q3, max
Celsius to Fahrenheit - ✔✔-Celsius x 9/5 + 32
Closed question - ✔✔-A question with limited choices, e.g. multiple choice or yes/no. Easier to analyze
statistically.
Cluster sample - ✔✔-Sample frame is divided into groups, we select a few groups, then selecting ALL of
the members of those groups.

the members of those groups.
Coefficient - ✔✔-A number by which a variable is being multiplied. Coefficients are written in front of
variables. 16x, 16 is coefficient. If there is no number you assume an invisible1.
Commutative - ✔✔-The order in which the numbers appear in the sum can be reversed
Composite number - ✔✔-Has at least one positive factor other than one and itself
Conditional proportion - ✔✔-One part of a proportion is a variable or unknown quantity
Constant - ✔✔-Has degree of 0
Constant - ✔✔-Number with a fixed value. All real numbers are constants
Continuous data - ✔✔-Has values within a range, measured not counted, does not have gaps between
data points (data is connected lines or curves).
Control group - ✔✔-randomly assign people or things to groups. One group receives a treatment and
the other group does not. This is the group that does not receive treatment
Convenience sample - ✔✔-Participants are easy for researcher to access. Tends to increase bias.
Convenience sample - ✔✔-Participants are easy for researcher to access. Tends to increase bias.
Correlation coefficient, r - ✔✔-Between -1 and 1; measures how close the points are to the line and if
the trend is uphill (positive) or downhill (negative).
Cubic - ✔✔-Has degree of 3
Degree of an expression - ✔✔-Refers to largest exponent in an expression
Discrete data - ✔✔-Has distinct values, can be counted, had unconnected points (think dots)
Distributive property - ✔✔-Principle used to multiply a single term by multiple terms. If there are
parenthesis around multiple terms which are in turn multiplied by a single term, we can use this
property.
Double Blind Study - ✔✔-When information of study is hidden from the researcher and the participant.
Elementary operations - ✔✔-Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
Example of discrete data - ✔✔-Days of the week
Experimental study - ✔✔-A study where you split subjects up randomly and impose a change on one
group to study the effect; can prove causation
Experimenter effect - ✔✔-When the persons running an experiment affects its results by influencing the
subjects inadvertently
Explanatory variable - ✔✔-In a study, what we think is the "cause"
Expressions - ✔✔-A group of symbols such as numbers and operators that has mathematical validity
Extrapolation - ✔✔-Making predictions *outside* of the range of your data. This is generally a bad idea.

Factorization - ✔✔-Process of breaking up a composite number into its prime factors
Factors - ✔✔-Integers that evenly divide the initial integer
Fahrenheit to Celsius - ✔✔-(Fahrenheit - 32) x 5/9
For independent events, P(A and B) = ? - ✔✔-P(A)*P(B)
For independent events, P(A|B) = ? - ✔✔-P(A) [this is the right side of which probability formula?]
For skewed data, use these for center and sp
