Study Notes
Types of Data
- Population: The entire set of data, often impossible to collect.
- Sample: A subset of the population, used to make inferences about the population.
Measurement Data
- Enumeration Data: Data that can be counted or listed.
- Ranked Data: Data that can be placed in order, but the difference between values is not meaningful.
Measures of Central Tendency
- Mean: The average value of a dataset.
- Geometric Mean: Used for skewed data, the nth root of the product of n values.
- Median: The middle value in an ordered dataset.
Measures of Variability
- Range: The difference between the largest and smallest values.
- Quartile Range: The difference between the upper and lower quartiles.
- Variance: The average of the squared differences from the mean.
- Standard Deviation: The square root of the variance.
- Coefficient of Variation: The ratio of the standard deviation to the mean.
Standard Normal Distribution
- Mean: 0.
- Standard Deviation: 1.
Errors in Sampling
- Standard Error: The standard deviation of the sample mean.
- Sampling Error: The difference between the sample mean and the population mean.
Confidence Intervals
- 95% Confidence Interval: The range of values within which the population mean is likely to lie, with a 95% probability.
Normal Distribution
- Features: Symmetrical, bell-shaped, and continuous.
Rates and Proportions
- Rate: A measure of the frequency of an event.
- Proportion: A measure of the relative size of a part to the whole.
- Ratio: A comparison of two quantities.
Chi-Square Test
- Fourfold Table: Used to test associations between two categorical variables.
- Paired Fourfold Table: Used to test associations between two categorical variables with paired data.
- R x C Table: Used to test associations between two categorical variables with multiple levels.
- Degree of Freedom: Calculated as (number of rows - 1) x (number of columns - 1).
T-Tests
- Paired T-Test: Used to compare the means of two paired groups.
- Two-Sample T-Test: Used to compare the means of two independent groups.
- Interpreting SPSS Results: Look for the p-value and compare it to the significance level to make a decision.
