Symptomatic population methodology uses what data?

Available data is used to project current population e.g. av household size is applied to new housing units to identify pop growth

Step Down Ration population methodology uses what data?

A ration is applied to current or future population

Cohort Survival population methodology uses what data?

Current population + natural increase + net migration. Typically by gender and specific age group.

Which of the population estimate methodology is the most accurate?

Cohort survival population methodology is most accurate. Requires large amounts of data.

What is the smallest area for which Census information is released?

Census Tract (2,000 - 8,000 people)

What is the typical size of a Census Block?

typically 400 housing units/block

what is the smallest level for which census data is collected?

The Census Block (ca. 400 housing units)

identify types of data typically analyzed and describe

Nominal data: can be grouped; lacks intrinsic order. Ordinal data: values can be ranked; no fixed interval between values. Interval data: ordered relationship with magnitude; has a true "0" point. Ratio data: ordered relationship with equal intervals;

Provide example(s) of Nominal Data and identify best analysis method

Age, Height, SSN. Group into mutually exclusive groups. MODE is best measure of central tendency

Provide example(s) of Ordinal Data and identify best analysis method

Educational achievement; grades; heights of people; groups of people (e.g. richest in county). MODE and MEDIAN best identify central tendency

Provide example(s) of Interval Data and identify best analysis method

Temperature; aircraft altitude; years of sun spot data. MEAN is best measure

Provide example(s) of Ratio Data and identify best analysis method

Length; area; volume; time. Can use any central tendency: MEAN, MEDIAN, or MODE

Name the common data distribution patterns

Normal (distributed around a mean; bell curve); skewed (right or left); uniform

when would you use the chi-square test? (x2)

Used to test for a relationship between two nominal or ordinal based variables.
