Qualitative Variables

- a variable that yield observations by which individuals can be categorized according to some characteristic or quality.

Quantitative Variables

- a variables that yield observations which can be measured.

Ordinal Level

- classifies data into categories that can be ranked, however, precise differences between ranks do not exists. Examples: educational attainment (elementary, high school, college), socio-economic class (elite, middle, low), rating scale (excellent, very good, satisfactory, fair, poor), judging (1st, 2nd, 3rd , etc.)

positive relationship

- exists when both variables increase and decrease at the same time.

Negative relationship

- exists when one variable increases while the other variable decreases.

Ratio Level

- has all the characteristics of the interval level of measurement and the zero point is meaningful (which represents the complete absence of characteristics being measured), and the ratio between two numbers is meaningful. Examples: height, weight, income, distances, time, age, area

parallel lines

- lines that do not intersect or touch each other at any point.

Multiple relationship

- many variables are under study

Discrete Variables

- quantitative variables whose values are obtained from counting.

Continuous Variables

- quantitative variables whose values are obtained from measurements. It can assume all values between any two specific values.

Interval Level

- ranks data and precise differences between units of measure do exists but there is no meaningful or true zero. It includes the ranking characteristics of the ordinal level of measurement and specifies that the distance between numbers is the same. Zero is arbitrary Examples: temperature, IQ test scores, NSAT scores

Nominal Level

- refer to data that can only be classified into categories. No ranking or order can placed on the data Examples: color (black, blue, yellow), gender (male, female), religion (Catholic, Protestant, etc.), field of specialization (English, Mathematics, Psychology, etc.), marital status (single, married, widowed, separated)

measurement

- the assignment of numbers to properties of objects, events or persons according to logically accepted rule.

Dependent Variable

- the criterion variable, the response or the effect, a value depends on some other variables called the independent variables.

Independent Variable

- the predictor variable or the cause which can be manipulated to determine its effect on the dependent variable.

Simple relationship

- two variables are under study

Eccentricity of graph

-It is defined as the maximum distance of one vertex from other vertex.The maximum distance between a vertex to all other vertices is considered as the eccentricity of the vertex. It is denoted by e(V).

Measures of Central Tendency: Median

-the middle or central value in a data set when arranged in the order of magnitude. -divides the data set into two equal parts. -can be used when the data is ordinal. -can be used to determine whether the data values fall into the upper (lower) half of the distribution can be used to find average of an open-ended distribution.

Measures of Central Tendency: Mode

Modular Arithmetic

When we divide two whole numbers we will have an equation that looks like the following: 𝑎/𝑏=𝑞 remainder 𝑟 (𝑏≠0). Sometimes, we are only interested in what the remainder is when we divide 𝑎 by 𝑏. . For these cases there is an operator called the modulo operator (abbreviated as mod). Using the same 𝑎,𝑏,𝑞,𝑟 as above, we would have: 𝑎 (mod 𝑏)=𝑟. We would say this as 𝑎 modulo 𝑏 is equal to 𝑟. Where 𝑏 is referred to as the modulus.
