Vocabulary

QuestionAnswer
Statistics the study of how to collect, organize, analyze, and interpret numerical imformation from data
Individuals people or objects included in the study
Variable the characteristic of the individual to be measured or observed
Quantitative variable has a value or numerical measurement for which operations such as addition or averaging make sense
Qualitative variable describes an individual by placing the individual into a category or group such as male or female
Population data variable is from every individual of interest
Sample data variable is from only some of the individuals of interest
Descriptive statistics involves methods of organizing, picturing, and summarizing information from samples or populations
Inferential statistics involves methods of using information from a sample to draw conclusions regarding the population
Nominal We can put the data into categories
Ordinal We can order the data from worst to best
Interval We can order the data and also take the differences between the data values. Does not include zero
Ratio We can order the data, take differences, and also fine the ratio between data values. Does include zero
Census measurements or observations from the entire population are used
Sample measurements or observations from a representative part of the population should be used
Observational study observations and measurements of individuals are conducted in a way that doesn't change the response or the variable being measured
Experiment a treatment is deliberately imposed on the individuals in order to observe a possible change in the response or variable being measured
Control group group that receives a dummy treatment disguised as the real treatment
Confounding variables variables taht might be an underlying cause of a change in response in the experiment group
Randomization used to assign individuals to the treatment groups
Replication reduces the possibility that the differences in pain relief for the two groups occured by chance alone.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
