WGU Applied Healthcare Statistics questions with
verified answers
A Set Ans✓✓✓ A collection of numbers
addition Ans✓✓✓ Finding the total of 2 or more values
Additive inverse Ans✓✓✓ Two numbers equidistant from zero on a number line
whose sum is zero. Three and -3 are additive inverse is
Associative Ans✓✓✓ The associative property holds the end or start an
operations any multi step expression, the computations maybe done in any order.
Bar chart Ans✓✓✓ A graph that displays data that is distributed over groups or
categories
Base number Ans✓✓✓ The number multiplied by itself when paired with an
exponent. For example, in eight to the third, it would be the best number.
Bimodal Ans✓✓✓ A description of a data set that has two modes
