Question
Answer
show the number of possible values is either finite number or a countable number # of eggs laid by a chicken  
🗑
Continuous (numerical)data   show
🗑
Quantative data   show
🗑
Qualatative (categorical or attribute) data   show
🗑
show Numerical measurement describing some characteristic of a population. Count entire population the number of redlights working and not in a city  
🗑
Statistic   show
🗑
Census   show
🗑
show Subset of a population  
🗑
show Statistics a collection of methods for planning studies and experiments, obtaining data, and then organizing, summarizing, presenting, analyzing, interpreting, and drawing conclusions based on the data  
🗑
Data   show
🗑
Population   show
🗑
show Collection of data from every member of a population  
🗑
show is largely about using sample data to make inferences (or generalizations) about an entire population. It is essential to know and understand the definitions that follow.  
🗑
Parameter   show
🗑
show a numerical measurement describing some characteristic of a sample.  
🗑
show numbers representing counts or measurements. Example: The weights of supermodels  
🗑
show can be separated into different categories that are distinguished by some nonnumeric characteristic Example: The genders (male/female) of professional athletes  
🗑
show can further be described by distinguishing between discrete and continuous types.  
🗑
show result when the number of possible values is either a finite number or a ‘countable’ number (i.e. the number of possible values is 0, 1, 2, 3, . . .) Example: The number of eggs that a hen lays  
🗑
show Subcollection of members selected from a population  
🗑
show characterized by data that consit of names labels no ordering scheme Ex. yes, no, undecided  
🗑
Ordinal level of measurement   show
🗑
show like ordinal but diffence in values is meanighfyl no natura zero Ex years 1000,2000,1776,1492  
🗑
Ratio Level of measurement   show
🗑
show categories only  
🗑
show categories with some order  
🗑
show differences but no natural starting point  
🗑
show differences and a natural starting point  
🗑
show one in which respondents themselves decide whether to be included Ex: mail in, internet poll  
🗑
show Conclusion should not be made on small samole size EX: Suspension rate based only on three students  
🗑
show 100% is 100% no such thing as 110%  
🗑
show observing and measuring specific characteristics withour attemping to midify the subjects being studied.  
🗑
Experiment   show
🗑
show subjects in experiment  
🗑
Cross sectional study   show
🗑
Retrisoectuve (case Control) study   show
🗑
show data are collected in the future from groups (called cohorst )sharing common factors.  
🗑
show occurs in an experiment when the experimenter is not able to distinguish between the effects of different factors.  
🗑
Blinding   show
🗑
show groups of subjects with similar characteristics  
🗑
show subjecrts are put into blocks thrught a process of random selection.  
🗑
Rigorously Controlled Design   show
🗑
Replication   show
🗑
show use a sample size that is large enought to see the true nature of any effects andsample using appropriate method such as randomeness  
🗑
show members of the population are selected in such a way that each individual member has an equal chance of being selected  
🗑
Simple Random Sample (of size n)   show
🗑
Systematic Sampling   show
🗑
Convience Sampling   show
🗑
Stratified Sampling   show
🗑
show divide the population into sections (clusters); randomly select some of those clusters; choose all members from selectd clusters. Ex choose 3 of 20 precints and interview every body in those precints.  
🗑
show Random Systematic Convenience Stratified Cluster  
🗑
Sampling error   show
🗑
Nonsampling error   show
🗑
