Study Notes
- Simple random sampling gives each population member an equal selection chance.
- Predictive form is not a standard type of data presentation.
- Data presentation organizes data with visuals to aid understanding and comparison.
- A research population is the entire group under study.
- Frequency distribution tables group data to show patterns and trends.
- The mode is the most frequent value in a dataset.
- Ordinal data has ordered categories with no fixed intervals, such as satisfaction ratings.
- Data encoding converts raw data to a structured format for analysis.
- Q1 (First Quartile) represents the 25th percentile.
- Graphical presentation makes it easier to see trends and patterns compared to textual presentation.
- Standard deviation is a measure of data spread, not central tendency.
- Systematic sampling selects every nth item after a random start.
- Pie charts best display proportions of a whole.
- Ratio data has a true zero point.
- Stratified sampling ensures representation from subgroups.
- Secondary data comes from previously collected information, such as financial reports.
- The mean is the average; the median is the middle value.
- Tabular presents numbers in rows/columns; graphical uses charts/graphs.
- Qualitative data is descriptive/categorical, while quantitative data is numerical.
- Data analysis makes sense of data and identifies trends.
- In the data set 5, 9, 12, 15, 18, the median is 12.
- A student's exam score of 85 is at the 60th percentile given scores of 75, 80, 85, 90, and 95.
- Given the data set: 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, the mean is 30.
- Stratified sampling is used when a proportional number from each grade are analyzed.
- The first quartile (Q1) is the value below which 25% of the observations lie.
- The mode of the data set: 3, 7, 7, 12, 15, 15, 15, 20, 22 is 15.
- A frequency distribution table indicates 10 students scored within the range of 80 to 90.
- A standard deviation of approximately 14.1 indicates that the data is widely spread out.
- To visually represent the relationship between two numerical variables, use a Scatter plot.
- A line graph of sales over five years shows trends in sales performance over time.
- Teachers divide students into 100 equal parts to determine percentiles.
- A mean recovery time of 10 days and a median of 8 days suggests outliers pull the mean higher.
- Dataset B: {10, 10, 10, 10, 50} has a higher standard deviation.
- The mode best describes if 90% of respondents gave ratings between 4 and 5.
- A right-skewed distribution has values concentrated on the lower end.
- Systematic sampling follows a fixed pattern.
- An increase in study hours and exam scores indicates a positive correlation.
- Structured surveys with a large sample provide the most reliable insights.
- Interquartile range (IQR) is useful for measuring the spread of the middle 50% of data.
- A dataset is positively skewed if the mean is much higher than its median.
- Cluster sampling is more cost-effective than simple random sampling.
- A downward trend on a scatter plot suggests a negative correlation.
- Pie charts do not represent changes over time effectively.
- Customer satisfaction on a Likert scale (1-5) is what type of data? - Ordinal data
- The median is the measure of central tendency least affected by outliers.
- Histograms should be used instead of bar graphs with continuous data that is grouped into intervals.
- Randomly scattered points on a scatter plot show no correlation.
- A line graph best shows improvement over time.
- Limiting student study habits information to one school is a lack of generalizability.
- To verify if a questionnaire is clear and effective pilot testing is useful.
