- Qualitative (Categorical) Variable: Variables that cannot be numerically measured.
- Nominal: Unordered categories (e.g., eye color).
- Ordinal: Ordered categories (e.g., satisfaction level).
- Quantitative (Numerical) Variable: Variables that can be numerically measured.
- Discrete: Integer values (e.g., number of children).
- Continuous: Decimal values (e.g., height).
Parameters and Statistics
- Parameter: Descriptive measure calculated from population data.
- Statistic: Descriptive measure calculated from sample data.
Measures of Central Tendency
- Mean: Sum of values divided by the number of values.
- Population: μ = (∑ xi) / N
- Sample: x̄ = (∑ xi) / n
- Median: Value separating the data into two equal halves.
- Mode: Most frequent value.
Measures of Dispersion
- Range: Difference between the maximum and minimum values.
- Variance: Average of the squared differences from the mean.
- Population: σ² = (∑ (xi - μ)²) / N
- Sample: s² = (∑ (xi - x̄)²) / (n-1)
- Standard Deviation: Square root of the variance.
- Population: σ = √(σ²)
- Sample: s = √(s²)
- Coefficient of Variation: Ratio of the standard deviation to the mean, expressed as a percentage.
- Population: CV = (σ / μ) × 100%
- Sample: CV = (s / x̄) × 100%
Measures of Position
