Study Notes
- Discrete data differs from continuous data, with discrete data being countable and finite, while continuous data can take any value within a range.
- When students are categorized by year (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors) and gender (male, female), there are 8 possible classifications.
- A study involving observing existing data without controlling any variables is most likely an observational study.
- The sample space for sampling items until a defective item is observed would be: {D, ND, NND, NNND, NNNND,...}.
- The probability of obtaining a test statistic value at least as contradictory to the null hypothesis as the value computed from the sample data is the p-value.
- The method of least squares aims to minimize the sum of squared errors.
- In the RCB model, the block effect (βj) is included to account for systematic variation, in addition to the overall mean (μ) and the treatment effect (αi).
