🗑
show Parameter  
🗑
show Parameter and Statistic  
🗑
Gives you the estimate for the parameter; numeric characteristic of the sample; known value   show
🗑
show Simple Random Sample  
🗑
Carried out in subgroups (strata) to ensure that selections will be made from each level of the subgroup; every age, sex, race, socioeconomic status   show
🗑
show Cluster Sampling  
🗑
Selecting items/people iin a block of predetermined size; biased, not random   show
🗑
show Convenience Sample  
🗑
show Simple Random and Stratified Random Samples  
🗑
show Cluster, Quota, and Convenience Samples  
🗑
Drawn when you are able to identify and have access to all members of the population of interest.   show
🗑
Use when access to entire population is not available; pros outweigh the risks of having a biased sample   show
🗑
show Variables  
🗑
show Dependent Variables  
🗑
show Independent Variables  
🗑
show Nominal  
🗑
show Ordinal  
🗑
Scale is equally spaced; difference between two points is meaningful; no set zero   show
🗑
Has meaning on a scale and a set zero   show
🗑
Name the categorical variables   show
🗑
show Interval and Ratio  
🗑
show Calculate descriptive statistics and calculate inferential statistics  
🗑
show Frequency table, Histogram, and Bar charts  
🗑
show To few intervals  
🗑
May give too much detail, losing the ability to obtain an overall feel for the distribution   show
🗑
Divide actual frequency by total number of observations and multiply by 100(% of subjects should = 100%)   show
🗑
Used for continuous variables (interval and ratio)   show
🗑
show Histogram

show Bar Charts  
🗑
show Bar charts

🗑
show measure of central tendency  
🗑
This says nothing about the variability among the data   show
🗑
What are the 3 measures of central tendency?   show

show Mode  
🗑
show Median  
🗑
show Median  
🗑
Useful for describing the central tendency of ordinal categorical variables, as well as continous variables   show
🗑
show Mean  
🗑
Makes sense with continous variables but may be used for ordinal variables   show
🗑
show Median  
🗑

🗑
If median is used then data is described by?   show
🗑
show measure of central tendency  
🗑
Value in which "x" percent of numbers fall below it and the remainder fall above it   show
🗑
Divide data into four; lower is 25th and upper is the 75th   show
🗑
What is the square root of the variance?   show
🗑
Plays a central role in many statistics; used to calculate probabilities   show
🗑
show Small  
🗑
If observation have the same value, the standard deviation will be?   show
🗑
If observation are more spread out, the standard deviation may be influenced by?   show
🗑
How do you calculate variance?   show
🗑
How to calculate standard deviation?   show
🗑
show 95%  
🗑
_____% of data fall within one standard deviation from the mean?   show
🗑
