PSY 112

Data that can be counted, such as the number of students in a class or the number of cars on a road.

Data that can be measured on a continuous scale, such as temperature, height, or weight.

Data where the numbers represent categories or labels, and the order doesn't matter.

Data where the numbers represent categories with a natural order, but the difference between categories may not be equal.

Data where the numbers represent categories with a natural order, and the difference between categories is equal.

Data where the numbers represent categories with a natural order, the difference between categories is equal, and zero represents the absence of the quality being measured.

Different types of data that measure variables on different scales of measurement.

A type of graph used to visually represent data with vertical bars, where each bar represents a different category and the height of the bar corresponds to the value of that category.

The process of analyzing and interpreting data presented in a graph to draw conclusions and gain insights.

A measure of how frequently something occurs or is present within a data set.

A type of graph that shows the relationship between two or more variables using points connected by lines. Each point represents a value on both axes.

A type of graph that uses segments of a circle to represent proportions of a whole.

A process of systematically counting the number of occurrences for each score within specific intervals in a dataset.

A table that summarizes the frequency of different data values within defined intervals.

A numerical representation of a score or measurement in its original form.

Numerical ranges within a dataset that group similar scores together.

A graph used to visually represent data in a frequency distribution, allowing for easy comprehension.

The ability to see patterns and insights within numerical data.

A common finding or observation drawn from analyzing data.

A method of organizing data into a frequency distribution table, which allows for easy analysis and interpretation.

The goal of visual aids in statistics is to enhance understanding and accessibility for diverse audiences.

A type of frequency distribution used for data that can be categorized, like nominal or ordinal data.

A type of frequency distribution used for data that is measured on a continuous scale, like age or height.

A type of survey where questions are sent to respondents via mail or online platforms, allowing them to answer at their convenience.

A type of survey conducted in person with a trained interviewer asking questions and directly recording responses.

A drawback of mailed questionnaires: Respondents may not be fully engaged and give inaccurate or incomplete answers due to lack of direct interaction with the researcher.

A potential limitation ofmailed questionnaires: Some respondents may struggle to read or understand the survey questions, leading to inaccurate responses.

An advantage of personal interview surveys, allowing for deeper understanding of respondents' perspectives and eliciting richer responses.

A drawback of personal interview surveys, as training interviewers and ensuring consistent question-asking requires resources and time.

A graph that visually represents the number of values below a certain upper-class boundary.

A type of graph used to compare different categories of data using the length or height of bars.

A graph showing data over time, often used to track trends and patterns.

The upper limit of a class interval.

The point where the vertical line drawn from a specific value on the x-axis intersects the cumulative frequency graph.

The height of a bar in a bar graph represents the frequency of the category it represents.

The slices in a pie graph are proportional to the percentage of the whole they represent.

The data points plotted on a time series graph are connected by lines to show the trend over time.

The vertical or horizontal axis on a bar graph which indicates the frequency scale.
