Question
Answer
show no order.i.e. Race, social security number, and sex are examples of nominal data.  
🗑
show order, but no magnitude. A,B,C,D but has no significant value. has values that are ranked so that inferences can be made regarding the magnitude. However, ordinal data has no fixed interval between values.  
🗑
WHat is Interval?   show
🗑
What is Ratio Order?   show
🗑
show Average  
🗑
show middle number best for skewed data  
🗑
show Most frequent number in a set.  
🗑
What is a range?   show
🗑
show comparing data (i.e. comparing the city population witht the county populaton).  
🗑
show Using birth and death certificate data.  
🗑
show Using builder permit or electrical connection data.  
🗑
show The area is exporting jobs.  
🗑
While in some cases we want to know the central tendency of a dataset, in other cases we want to know the extent to which data differs from each other.   show
🗑
is the average squared difference of scores from the mean score of a distribution.   show
🗑
is the square root of the variance.   show
🗑
is the standard deviation of a sampling distribution.   show
🗑
show Confidence Interval, The width of the confidence interval gives us an idea of how uncertain we are about the unknown parameter. A wide interval may indicate that we need more data before we can make a definitive statement.  
🗑
show Chi Square, Chi Square is commonly used for probability distributions in inferential statistics. This Chi Square distribution is used to test the goodness of fit of an observed distribution to a theoretical one.  
🗑
Which is a detailed, very accu¬rate, method for making short term population projections that can handle multiple variables   show
🗑
show Natural Increases  
🗑
The term relates to a level of "consensus", where policy options are accepted short of 100 percent agreement. This type of consensus can be used in meeting facilitation and in the formulation of "alternatives" in long-range planning programs.   show
🗑
show Shift Share Analysis  
🗑
A statistic that provides an estimate of one variable based upon other variables   show
🗑
What is a normal distribution?   show
🗑
show Dichotomous  
🗑
show Nominal scale  
🗑
is the assignment of numbers or symbols for the purpose of identifying ordered relationships of a particular characteristics without specified intervals.   show
🗑
characteristics with the ability to determine differences in amounts.   show
🗑
show Ratio Scale.  
🗑
show Ratio Method  
🗑
show Use a heterogeneous population  
🗑
show Variance  
🗑

🗑
In a plot illustrating a data set with normal distribution, the highest peak of the "bell-curve" would indicate what?   show
🗑
show To provide a statistically significant sample  
🗑
show Cohurt Survival  
🗑
a range of values that includes a certain population parameter with a given probability   show
🗑
show +1 to -1  
🗑
A correlation value of +100 indicates   show
🗑

🗑
show strategies for projecting populations.  
🗑
show Descriptive  
🗑
graphic skew to the right means?   show
🗑
