| median | | a number line with marks or dots that show frequency |
| stratified sample | | the difference between the greatest and least values in a data set |

| convenience sample | | a bar graph that compares two related sets of data |
| histogram | | the description of the relationship between two data sets |
| outlier | | a diagram that is used to show relationships between sets |
| correlation | | the spread of values in a set of data |
