f. Likelihood
g. Describe the general characteristics of a set of scores or data.
h. Two or more data points.
i. A measure of central tendency that can be used when the data is nominal.
j. Degree of spread or dispersion that characterizes a group of scores and the degree to which a set of scores differs from some measure of central tendency.
k. Transferring data from the original collection form into a format the lends itself to data analysis.
l. An average or individual value that is most representative of that distribution or set of scores.
m. A form used to organize for analysis the data you collect.
n. A machine that reads and records responses on special scoring sheets, comparing responses to a key.
o. A type of standard score the result of dividing the amount that an idividual score deviates from the mean by the standard deviation.
p. The average amount that each of the individual scores varies from the mean of the set of scores.
q. A measure of central tendency used when the data is ordinal or when extreme scores are included in the sample.
r. A straight line associated with a curve such that as a point moves along an infinite branch of the curve the distance from the point to the line approaches zero (definition from Websters.com).
