    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.
