2. (3 points) If a tax auditor selects every 10,000th tax return that is submitted, which form of sampling is he/she using? (Circle one)
3. (3 points) are sample values that lie very far away from the vast majority of other sample values.

?(? ∩ ?). (Circle one)
5. (3 points) A is a graph consisting of bars of equal width drawn adjacent to each other (unless there are gaps in the data). (Circle one)
6. (3 points) The of a data set is a measure of center indicating the value that occurs with the greatest frequency.
