4 ) If the standard deviation of a data set = 0, you can conclude _____________________.
5 ) When a data set contains an outlier, which measure of variability is affected the least?
6 ) About how much data is typically found in the interquartile range?
7 ) Which plot will always consistently identify outliers regardless of who makes the plot?
8 ) Which plot could be used for categorical data?
9 ) What can a stem and leaf plot can detect ?
10 ) What is the relationship between the variance (var) and the standard deviation (std dev)?
11 ) When a data set has suspected outliers, what are the preferred measures of central tendency and variability?
12 ) What are the five numbers in a five number summary?
13 ) Write formulas for the following:

Want to learn more about movie physics in Star Trek and find out :
  • what makes Star Trek unique
  • how Star Trek compares to Star Wars
  • why the star ship Enterprise needs to remain in space
  • what should and shouldn't be done in space battles
  • what it takes to blast off and travel the galaxy
  • the basics of orbiting
Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics is one of the most humorous, entertaining, and readable physics books available, yet is filled with all kinds of useful content and clear explanations for high school, 1st semester college physics students, and film buffs.

It explains all 3 of Newton's laws, the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, momentum, energy, gravity, circular motion and a host of other topics all through the lens of Hollywood movies using Star Trek and numerous other films.

If you want to learn how to think physics and have a lot of fun in the process, this is the book for you!
