Measures of Dispersion and Variability: Range, QD, AD and SD
Making a bar graph
1. Making A Graph
Of Your Data Guided Notes
Let’s review independent and
dependent variables.
This was
how far the
paper flew
The independent variable is what the
scientist changes during an experiment.
The dependent variable is what’s being
measured as a result.
Remember:
The growth of the
flower is
dependent upon
the amount of
water it receives.
This was the
type of
paper in our
experiment.
