Understanding Key Vocabulary in Statistics and Geometry
This review covers essential vocabulary for understanding concepts in statistics and geometry. Key terms include bias, population, qualitative and quantitative data, and experimental versus theoretical probability. Additionally, geometric concepts such as complementary and supplementary angles, parallelogram, rhombus, and surface area are discussed. The importance of functions, domain, and range in mathematics is also highlighted. By mastering these terms, learners can effectively engage with data interpretation and geometric principles.

Vocabulary Review Course 3 Through Lesson 65
Bias A slant toward a particular point of view caused by a sampling procedure.
Population A group of people that researchers want to study to make a prediction or draw a conclusion.
Qualitative Data Data that falls into categories
Statistics The science of collecting data and interpreting the data in order to draw a conclusion or make a prediction.
Supplementary Angles Two angles whose measure total 180 degrees.
Quantitative Data Data that is numerical.
Transversal A line that intersects one or more other lines in a plane.
Range The set of outputs of a function.
Parallelogram A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.
Complementary Angles Two angles whose measures total 90 degrees.
Domain The set of inputs of a function.
Rhombus A parallelogram with four sides of equal length.
Experimental Probability The ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the number of trials.
Net A two-dimensional images of the surfaces of a solid.
Volume The amount of space contained inside a geometric solid.
Theoretical Probability The ratio of favorable outcomes to all possible outcomes.
Scientific Notation A method of writing a number as product of a decimal number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10.
Function A mathematical rule that identifies a relationship between two sets of numbers.
Surface Area The combined area of the surfaces on the sides of a geometric solid.
Circumference The distance around a circle.
