Data
|
consist of information coming from observations, counts, measurements, or responses. the singular for data is datum.
|
|
Statistics
|
is the science of collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting data in order to make decision.
|
|
Population
|
is the collection of all outcomes,responses, measurements, or counts that are of interest.
|
|
Sample
|
is asubset of a population.
|
|
parameter
|
is a numerical description of a population characteristic.
|
|
statistic
|
is a numerical description of a sample characteristic.
|
|
Descriptve Statistice
|
is the branch of statistics that involves the organization display of data.
|
|
Inferential Statistics
|
is the branch of statistics that involves using asample to draw conclusions about a population. A basic tool in the study of inferential statistics is probability.
|
|
Qualitative data
|
consist of attribustes,labels,or nonnumerical entries.
|
|
Quantitative data
|
Consist of numerical measurements or counts.
|
|
Nominal level of measurement
|
are qualitative only. Data at this level are categorized using names, labels,or qualitative or quantitative. data at this level are categorixed using names, labels, or qualities. No mathhematical computations can be made at this level.
|
|
ordinal level of measurement
|
are qualitative or quantitative. Data at this level can be arranged in order,but differences between data entries are not meaningful.
|
|
Intervall level of measurenment
|
are quantitative. The data can be ordered,and you can calculate meaningful differences between data at the interval level. wotj tje added property that a zero entry is an inherent zero.
|
|
ratio level of measurement
|
are similar to data at the interval level, with the added property that a xero entry is an inherent zero. A ratio of two dat values can be formed so one data value can be expressed as a multiple of another.
