19. Tendency is ___________

Explanation

The correct answer is "a trend based on data." Tendency refers to a general inclination or direction, and in this context, it is specifically referring to a trend. A trend is a general pattern or direction that can be observed in data over a period of time. Therefore, a tendency is a trend based on data, indicating that there is a consistent pattern or direction observed in the data.

Submit
20. The average on a dot plot represent the ________________ of the data set.

Explanation

The average on a dot plot represents the midpoint or central tendency of the data set. It is the value that divides the data into two equal parts, with half of the data points falling above and half falling below the average. Therefore, the average can be considered as both the middle and center of the data set.

22. Data Set: 0.10, 0.2, 0.9, 0.6, 0.8, 0.4 What is the mean?

Explanation



To find the mean (average) of a data set, you add up all the values and then divide by the total number of values.

Given the data set: 0.10, 0.2, 0.9, 0.6, 0.8, 0.4

Mean = (0.10 + 0.2 + 0.9 + 0.6 + 0.8 + 0.4) / 6 = 3.0 / 6 = 0.5

So, the mean of the given data set is 0.5.
Submit
23. ________________ in statistics  means anticipated change.

Explanation

Variability in statistics refers to the extent to which data points differ or deviate from the average or expected value. It represents the range or spread of values within a dataset, indicating the degree of diversity or dispersion. Therefore, variability can be seen as the measure of anticipated change, as it captures the extent to which data points are expected to vary from the average or predicted value.

Submit
24. Data Set: 2.2, 8, 10, 1.5, 12.2, 9, 6, 10, 1.2 What is the mean?

Explanation

The mean is calculated by adding up all the values in the data set and then dividing the sum by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of the values is 2.2 + 8 + 10 + 1.5 + 12.2 + 9 + 6 + 10 + 1.2 = 60.1. Since there are 9 values in the data set, the mean is 60.1/9 = 6.7.

Submit
