Study Notes
Descriptive Statistics
- When describing data with averages, the mean is influenced by extreme values.
- The mean is less influenced by extreme values compared to the median.
Types of Data and Variables
- Continuous variables can take on an infinite number of possible values within a given range.
- Discrete variables can take on only a limited, distinct number of values.
- Normal distributions can be described using standard (z) scores.
Measures of Variability
- Variance represents the average of the squared differences from the mean.
- Standard deviation is used to describe variability, but its description is not provided.
Data Description and Visualization
- Unit II data is described using tables and graphs.
- Frequency tables and histograms are used for describing data in the unit.
- Scatter plots are not used for describing data in the unit.
Data Analysis
- Descriptive statistics is used for describing data with tables and graphs.
- Inferential statistics is not mentioned in the unit.
