20
Q

MEASURED ALONG A SCALE, IN WHICH EACH POINT IS PLACED AT EQUAL DISTANCE FROM ONE ANOTHER

21
Q

HAS AN EQUAL AND DEFINITIVE RATIO BETWEEN EACH DATA
ABSOLUTE ZERO IS TREATED AS A POINT OF ORIGIN

22
Q

TWO TYPES OF FIELD STATISTICS

A

DESCRIPTIVE AND INFERENTAL STATISTICS

23
Q

CONCERNED WITH COLLECTING AND DESCRIBING A SET OF DATA TO YIELD A MEANINGFUL RESULT

A

DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS

24
Q

concerned with the analysis of a subset of data leading to predictions or inferences about the entire set of data.

A

INFERENTIAL STATISTICS

25
means to draw conclusion based on evidence or reasoning.
INFERS
26
which refers to suggesting something without stating it directly.
IMPLY
27
is often contrasted with imply
INFERS
28
is to compare in order to show unlikeness or differences.
CONTRAST
29
are used to assign one value that will represent the whole set of data.
MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
30
sum of collection of data divided by the count of data in the collection.
MEAN
31
this symbol represents the sample mean
x
32
this symbol represents the population mean
μ
33
is the middle value in a set of numbers when they are arranged in ascending order.
MEDIAN
34
the variable that appears most often in a set.
MODE
35
is the systematic process of gathering and evaluating information from various sources to answer research questions, test hypothesis, and evaluate outcomes.
DATA COLLECTION
36
It involves collecting data to find answers to research problems, solve issues, identify trends, or opportunities.
DATA COLLECTION
37
Primary instruments or different methods for collecting information or obtaining data
1)Data collection methods 2)Surveys 3)Interviews 4)Focus groups
38
organizations are also able to collect data from
1.mobile devices 2.website traffic 3.server activity 4.other relevant sources, depending on the project
39
refer to the systematic processes used to gather information from various sources for analysis and interpretation.
DATA COLLECTION METHOD
40
surveys, interviews, observations, and experiments among others aimed at ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the data collected.
DATA COLLECTION METHOD
41
WHAT ARE THOSE Types of Data Collection Methods
Simple random sample Stratified sampling
42
In this method of sampling, any particular subset of the specified size has the same chance of being selected.
SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLE
43
This involves taking a sample from each population unit in non-overlapping groups.
STRATIFIED SAMPLING
44
There are 2 classifications of Data
GROUPED AND UNGROUPED
45
is data that has been organized into categories or classes, often presented in a frequency distribution table.
GROUPED DATA
