qualitative

(an attribute whose value is indicated by a label)

quantitative

(an attribute whose value is indicated by a number).

SYMMETRIC

*.* Most of the data values are in the middle and tapers on each end (tail) *• *Left side and right side are "mirror image" of each other if divided evenly *• *Think: "Grading on the curve" - mostly Cs, some Bs and Ds, few As and Fs

Uniform

*1* Each class has approximately the same frequency or relative frequency. *2* A uniform distribution looks like a rectangle

Quantitative data can be separated into two subgroups:

*1* discrete *2* continuous.

SKEWED TO THE RIGHT

*•* Most of the data values are on the low end of the numeric values and tapers off as you move to the right *• *Also called "positively skewed"

STEM & LEAF PLOT

*•* is another method for organizing data *•* combines ordering data values with graphing *•* is a good choice when the data set is small *•* is created by dividing each data value into a "stem" and "leaf" *•* The leaf is always the final significant digit (last digit of the data value) *•* For example, with a two-digit number, such as 49, 9 would be the leaf *•* For example with a decimal number, such as 2.5, 5 would be the leaf *•* One advantage of the stem & leaf plot is that the raw data is "retained" and could be recreated if needed, unlike the grouped frequency distribution *•* provides information on the *•* Distribution (shape) *•* Center *•* Spread (variation)

HISTOGRAM

*•* is similar to a bar graph, but the vertical bars are contiguous (no gaps) *•* is created using the grouped frequency distribution *•* has a horizontal axis and a vertical axis *•* The horizontal axis can be labeled in several ways (depends on technology) *•*Midpoints of each group -value in the middle of the group (RECALL: 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚+𝑚𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚 2) *•* Class Boundaries ---values that remove the gap between the groups (subtract 0.5 from each lower class limit) *•* The vertical axis represents the frequency or relative frequency of each group *•*The height (length) of each vertical bar can represent either the frequency of each group or the relative frequency of each group. Graph will have the same shape regardless of which one you use. *•*will provide information on the *•* Distribution (shape) *•* Center *•* Spread

Frequency Table

a data representation in which grouped data is displayed along with the corresponding frequencies

Box plot

a graph that gives a quick picture of the middle 50% of the data

Histogram

a graphical representation in x-y form of the distribution of data in a data set; x represents the data and y represents the frequency, or relative frequency. The graph consists of contiguous rectangles.

Control Group

a group in a randomized experiment that receives an inactive treatment but is otherwise managed exactly as the other groups

Cluster Sampling

a method for selecting a random sample and dividing the population into groups (clusters); use simple random sampling to select a set of clusters. Every individual in the chosen clusters is included in the sample.

Stratified Sampling

a method for selecting a random sample used to ensure that subgroups of the population are represented adequately; divide the population into groups (strata). Use simple random sampling to identify a proportionate number of individuals from each stratum.

Systematic Sampling

a method for selecting a random sample; list the members of the population. Use simple random sampling to select a starting point in the population. Let k = (number of individuals in the population)/(number of individuals needed in the sample). Choose every kth individual in the list starting with the one that was randomly selected. If necessary, return to the beginning of the population list to complete your sample.

Random Sampling

a method of selecting a sample that gives every member of the population an equal chance of being selected.

Convenience Sampling

a nonrandom method of selecting a sample; this method selects individuals that are easily accessible and may result in biased data.

Probability

a number between zero and one, inclusive, that gives the likelihood that a specific event will occur

Percentile

a number that divides ordered data into hundredths; percentiles may or may not be part of the data. The median of the data is the second quartile and the 50th percentile. The first and third quartiles are the 25th and the 75th percentiles, respectively.

Standard Deviation

a number that is equal to the square root of the variance and measures how far data values are from their mean; notation: s for sample standard deviation and σ for population standard deviation.

Parameter

a number that is used to represent a population characteristic and that generally cannot be determined easily

Median

a number that separates ordered data into halves; half the values are the same number or smaller than the median and half the values are the same number or larger than the median. The median may or may not be part of the data.

Statistic

a numerical characteristic of the sample; a statistic estimates the corresponding population parameter.

Discrete Random Variable

a random variable (RV) whose outcomes are counted

Continuous Random Variable

a random variable (RV) whose outcomes are measured; the height of trees in the forest is a continuous RV.

Data

a set of observations (a set of possible outcomes); most data can be put into two groups: *qualitative* *quantitative*

Simple Random Sampling

a straightforward method for selecting a random sample; give each member of the population a number. Use a random number generator to select a set of labels. These randomly selected labels identify the members of your sample.

Sample

a subset of the population studied

Representative Sample

a subset of the population that has the same characteristics as the population

Lurking Variable

a variable that has an effect on a study even though it is neither an explanatory variable nor a response variable

Population

all individuals, objects, or measurements whose properties are being studied

Interval

also called a class interval; an interval represents a range of data and is used when displaying large data sets

Average

also called mean; a number that describes the central tendency of the data

Placebo

an inactive treatment that has no real effect on the explanatory variable

Nonsampling Error

an issue that affects the reliability of sampling data other than natural variation; it includes a variety of human errors including poor study design, biased sampling methods, inaccurate information provided by study participants, data entry errors, and poor analysis.

Outlier

an observation that does not fit the rest of the data

Experimental Unit

any individual or object to be measured

Ordinal scale level:

data that can be ordered; the differences cannot be measured

Nominal scale level:

data that cannot be ordered nor can it be used in calculations

Interval scale level:

data with a definite ordering but no starting point; the differences can be measured, but there is no such thing as a ratio.

Ratio scale level:

data with a starting point that can be ordered; the differences have meaning and ratios can be calculated.

Treatments

different values or components of the explanatory variable applied in an experiment

Frequency Polygon

looks like a line graph but uses intervals to display ranges of large amounts of data

Variance

mean of the squared deviations from the mean, or the square of the standard deviation; for a set of data, a deviation can be represented as x - x ¯ where x is a value of the data and x ¯ is the sample mean. The sample variance is equal to the sum of the squares of the deviations divided by the difference of the sample size and one.

Sampling Bias

not all members of the population are equally likely to be selected

Blinding

not telling participants which treatment a subject is receiving

Mean

number that measures the central tendency of the data; a common name for mean is 'average.' The term 'mean' is a shortened form of 'arithmetic mean.' By definition, the mean for a sample (denoted by x ¯ ) is and the mean for a population (denoted by μ) is

Interquartile Range

or IQR, is the range of the middle 50 percent of the data values; the IQR is found by subtracting the first quartile from the third quartile.

Double-blinding

the act of blinding both the subjects of an experiment and the researchers who work with the subjects

Random Assignment

the act of organizing experimental units into treatment groups using random methods

Response Variable

the dependent variable in an experiment; the value that is measured for change at the end of an experiment

Explanatory Variable

the independent variable in an experiment; the value controlled by researchers

Midpoint

the mean of an interval in a frequency table

Sampling Error

the natural variation that results from selecting a sample to represent a larger population; this variation decreases as the sample size increases, so selecting larger samples reduces sampling error.

Proportion

the number of successes divided by the total number in the sample

Frequency

the number of times a value of the data occurs

Quartiles

the numbers that separate the data into quarters; quartiles may or may not be part of the data. The second quartile is the median of the data.

Relative Frequency

the ratio of the number of times a value of the data occurs in the set of all outcomes to the number of all outcomes to the total number of outcomes

Mode

the value that appears most frequently in a set of data

First Quartile

the value that is the median of the of the lower half of the ordered data set

Paired Data Set

two data sets that have a one to one relationship so that: • both data sets are the same size, and • each data point in one data set is matched with exactly one point from the other set.

Skewed

used to describe data that is not symmetrical; when the right side of a graph looks "chopped off" compared the left side, we say it is "skewed to the left." When the left side of the graph looks "chopped off" compared to the right side, we say the data is "skewed to the right." Alternatively: when the lower values of the data are more spread out, we say the data are skewed to the left. When the greater values are more spread out, the data are skewed to the right.
