some review ideas, Unit 1

Outlier fences:
Q1 - 1.5IQR
Q3 + 1.5IQR

sd is always positive
(or zero if all the data is identical)

Categorical graphs:
bar and pie

Quantitative graphs:
stem and leaf (shows data)
boxplot (can hide shape)
ogive/cumulative freq
dotplot
histogram

Independent data makes bar graphs with similar levels

The mean is lower than the median for skewed left data

Measures of spread:  IQR, sd and range
Measures of center: mean and median
Which of the above are resistant?  med and IQR

Rule of thumb:  68-95-99.7

z-score formula:  (x - mu)/sigma
