Statistics and Probability Word Search
This statistics and probability puzzle holds 40 terms from the data unit: mean, median, mode and range, the outlier, the sample and the population, the histogram and the box plot, and the outcome of a coin toss.
Probability began with a gambling question. In 1654 a French writer, the Chevalier de Mere, asked Blaise Pascal how to split the stakes fairly when a game of chance stops before anyone has won. Pascal worked it out in letters with Pierre de Fermat, and their answer, counting every way the game could still end, is the method behind every outcome and event in a probability unit.
The mean and the median can tell different stories. Add one very large salary to a small office and the mean jumps while the median barely moves, which is why house prices and incomes are usually reported as medians. Florence Nightingale used charts of her own design in 1858 to show that more soldiers in the Crimean War died of disease than of wounds, and she became the first woman elected to the Royal Statistical Society.
