| Urban Cluster | 2,500 – 50,000 people, density of 1,000 people per square mile new in 2000. 11% of population lived in Urban Clusters in 2000 |
| Cohort Survival | – look at a certain age group (0-5) what is the likelihood these individuals will make it to next age group (5-10) |
| Symptomatic | – we know that averge hh size is 2.1 – 100 bldg. permits have been issued in the last 5 years therefore, population has increased 210. |
| Step Down | Take info from a larger population (DRCOG) relate to a smaller population (Lousiville) |
| Linear population growth | increase of X each year - steady |
| Gompertz | – ramp up and then level off |
| Cross sectional survey | gathers information about a population at a single point in time, conversely longitudinal surveys are conducted over time i.e. citizen satisfaction surveys conducted yearly. |
| Descriptive Statistics vs. inferential statistics | Descriptive Statistics describe characteristics of a population.Inferential Statistics determine characteristics of a population based on observations made on a sample from that population.infer things about the population based on the sample. |
| Normal distribution | around the mean –bell curve |
| Primary vs. Secondary data | primary includes surveys, conversations etc…from the source. Secondary would be from another source such as the US Census Bureau. |
| Sample size determined to be accurate? | A sample size of 1 percent is likely to be adequate. The key is to ensure the sample is random. |

| Ordinal Data | grades A is better than B but no fixed interval between values |
| Interval data | ordered relationship with a magnitude - temperature |
| Ratio data | most descriptive -i.e. distance, order, magnitude and |
| Variance and Standard Deviation | – i.e. mean = 10 - sample = 12, 13, and 9 difference = 2, 3, and 1…squared differences = 4, 9, and 1 average of differences (-1) = 7 square root of 7 = 2.65….variance is 7 and standard deviation is 2.65 |
