Study Notes
Data Management Overview
- Data consists of facts providing partial information about various subjects.
- Ethical awareness is crucial for responsible data handling.
Principles of Ethical Awareness & Responsible Handling
- Emphasize the importance of handling data responsibly.
- Recognize ethical considerations when managing data.
Data Presentation Types
- Textual Presentation: Integrates written text with numerical facts in statistical reports.
- Tabular Presentation: Organizes numeric values into tables, facilitating easy comparison.
- Graphical Presentation: Utilizes pictures, charts, or graphs to visually represent data.
- Case Study Presentation: Examines real-life scenarios addressing ethical data handling challenges.
Types of Data
- Categorical Data: Groups individuals based on characteristics (e.g., gender).
- Numerical Data: Involves exact numerical values (e.g., height, weight).
Classifying Numerical Data
- Discrete Variables: Countable values (e.g., number of children).
- Continuous Variables: Measurable values (e.g., height, temperature).
Interpreting Different Graphs
- Bar Graph: Represents data using rectangular bars, suitable for comparison.
- Line Graph: Illustrates changes over time effectively.
- Histogram: Displays frequency distribution of numerical values.
- Pie Graph: Circular chart showing relative proportions within a whole.
- Scatter Plot: Uses dots to depict relationships between different variables.
Computing Measures of Central Tendency
- Mean: The average of a dataset, calculated by summing all values and dividing by the number of entries.
- Median: The middle value when data is sorted, relevant for ordinal and interval variables with outliers.
- Mode: The most frequently occurring number in a dataset.
- Weighted Mean: Assigns different weights to numbers, treating them unequally for averaging.
Computing Measures of Dispersion
- Range: Difference between the highest and lowest values in a dataset.
- Variance: A measure of how spread out the numbers are in a dataset.
- Sample Variance: Reflects spread in a sample relative to the average.
- Standard Deviation: Average measure of distance of data points from the mean.
- Sample Standard Deviation: Assesses the variability of numbers in a small group compared to the group average.
Tree Diagram & Basic Probability Problems
- Tree Diagram: A visualization tool for decision-making and probability calculations.
- Probability Calculation: For equally likely outcomes, probability is computed as the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes.
- Addition Rule: For two events A and B, the probability of either occurring is: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B).
- Multiplication Rule: For independent events A and B, the joint probability is: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B).
