You can have a scatter plot where the data is displayed as a collection of points.

You can also have a dot plot where a set of data is represented by placing dots over a number line to represent the frequency of data.

What is the difference of average and media?

Average is the sum of all data points divided by the number of data points. Median is the data point that is exactly halfway between the lowest and highest data points.


Why should you draw a smooth line that reflects the general pattern rather than automatically connect the data points?

A line of best fit emphasizes the overall trend shown by all the data taken as a whole whereas if you just "connect the dots", the lines could be all over the place.


How can one determine the average position of a set of data points?

To determine the average position of a set of data points, add up all the positions and then divide by the total number of data points. This will give you the average position.

Why is a best fit line used to find slope instead of using the data points?

Because the data points are generally not all in line with each other. If you connect the dots,from one data point to the next and then to the next, you usually get a zig-zag line of manysegments, where the slopes of the segments are all different and cover a wide range. It wouldbe impossible to decide what the "real" slope of the data is. The "best fit" line is a line that findsthe pattern buried in the zig-zag data, giving each data point its best share of determining the bestsingle equation to represent the whole batch of points. That's why it's called "best".


Does the best-fit line have to go through all data points on a graph?

False

Does a best fit line connect all of the data points in a line graph?

yes


Is it possible to have a standard deviation of less than one?

Anand Mehta said yes and this is correct. You will get a SD, for example, if all of the data points are less than one, or if the data points are very close together and there is not much spread in the data..
