All flashcards
Flashcard 1: Identify the pattern: '1, 3, 1, 3, 1, ...'
Answer: Non-random pattern. Repeating alternating pattern between two values.
Flashcard 2: Identify the pattern: '3, 5, 8, 12, ...'

Answer: Non-random pattern. Arithmetic sequence with common difference of 2.
Flashcard 19: Identify the pattern: '10, 20, 40, 80, ...'
Answer: Non-random pattern. Geometric sequence where each term doubles.
Flashcard 20: What is the purpose of identifying patterns in data?
Answer: To detect trends, relationships, or randomness. Helps make predictions and understand data structure.
Flashcard 21: What does it mean if data has no apparent pattern?
Answer: The data is random. No discernible trend or predictable structure exists.

Answer: A pattern with outcomes that are precisely determined. Outcomes follow exact mathematical rules with no randomness.
Flashcard 25: What is a non-random pattern?
Answer: A pattern with predictable order or sequence. Follows a rule that allows future values to be predicted.
Flashcard 26: Identify the pattern: '1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...'
Answer: Non-random pattern (Fibonacci sequence). Each term equals sum of two preceding terms.
