Study Notes
Regression Analysis
- To establish the relationship between two or more variables and predict the value of the dependent variable based on the independent variable(s).
Primary Data
- Refers to data collected by the researcher directly from the source.
Experimental Method
- Involves manipulating variables to understand their impact on another variable.
Sociometry
- Analyzes relationships and social structures within a group.
Simulation Method
- Replicates real-world events in a controlled environment to test hypotheses.
Secondary Data
- Refers to data collected by someone else before the current research.
Descriptive Statistics
- Focuses on summarizing and describing data sets using measures like mean, median, mode, and standard deviation.
Inferential Statistics
- Draws conclusions about a population based on data collected from a sample.
Purpose of Inferential Statistics
- To make inferences about a population based on sample data.
Not a Measure of Central Tendency
- Range (this measures the spread of data)
Confidence Intervals
- Represent a range of values within which the true population parameter is likely to fall.
Hypothesis Testing
- Analysts test a claim or hypothesis about a population parameter using sample data.
Statistically Answerable Question
- "What is the average height of students in a particular school?"
Answerable with Statistical Analysis
- "What is the average age of people in a specific city?"
Statistical Inference Question
- "Does a new drug effectively reduce blood pressure?"
Not Suitable for Statistical Analysis
- "What is the meaning of life?"
Descriptive Statistics Question
- "What is the distribution of ages in a particular population?"
Comparative Analysis Question
- "Is there a significant difference in the average salaries of men and women in a certain profession?"
