The predecessors to data visualization date back to:

This figure is often used to explore the relationship between two or three variables (in 2D or 3D visuals).

This assumption in a regression analysis states that the relationship between the response variable and the explanatory variables is linear.

________ has also single-handedly democratized both the interface conventions and the technology for displaying interactive geography online

When presenting your data analysis it is often helpful to view your analysis as a data rich ________.

List and briefly define the central tendency measures of descriptive statistics.

Data visualization is closely related to the fields of DW management and MIS application development.

To satisfy this requirement, this data is recorded at or near the time of the event or observation so that the time delay-related misrepresentation is minimized.
