A student scores 75, 82, 90, 68, and 85 on five tests. What is the range of scores?

A survey of 200 students found 120 prefer math over English. What is the relative frequency of students who prefer math?
Answer: 0.6
Relative frequency = 120/200 = 0.6.
Which graph is most appropriate for displaying the distribution of a continuous variable such as exam scores?
Answer: Histogram
Histograms group continuous data into intervals (bins) and display frequency distributions effectively.
If the standard deviation of a dataset is 0, what does this imply about the data?
Answer: All values are identical
A standard deviation of 0 means every data point equals the mean, so all values are identical.
A conditional probability P(A|B) represents the probability of event A given that:
Answer: B has already occurred
Conditional probability P(A|B) is the probability of A occurring given that event B is known to have occurred.
