Q

Measurement arises when we have variables that are
categorical and non-numeric or where the numbers have no sense of ordering

25
This level ordering is important, that is the values of the variable could be ranked. These scales have no absolute values – all that we can say is that one person is higher or lower in rank without stating how much greater or less.
Ordinal
26
The data can be categorized and ranked. It tells us that one unit differs by a certain amount of degree from another unit. Can state how much unit differs from another. No absolute zero.
Interval
27
The data can be categorized and ranked. There is an existence of zero.
Ratio
28
Methods of Data Collection

Objective Subjective Use of existing records

29
uses any or combination of the five senses (sense of sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell) to measure the variable
Subjective
30
obtains data by getting responses through a questionnaire.
Objective
31
resulting data from these two methods of data collection (subjective and objective) is referred to as
primary data.
32
It obtained through the _____________________ or data collected by other entities for certain purposes.
use of existing records
33
The gathered data from this method of data (Use of existing records) collection is referred to as
secondary data.
34
Data collection techniques
Observation Interview and focus group Transactional Tracking Social media tracking Online tracking Surveys Forms
35
3 types of invterview conducted for data collection
Telephone interview Face to Face interview Computer-assisted personal interviewing
36
Methods of Data Presentation

Textual Tabular Graphical
37
Presenting Data in the form of words, sentences and paragraphs. Detailed information are given. It involves enumerating important characteristics, emphasizing significant figures and identifying important features of data.
Textual
38
Numerical values are presented using tables. Information are lost in tabular presentation of data. The frequency distribution table is the usual tabular form of presenting the distribution of the data.
Tabular
39
A visual representation of data statistics-based results using graphs, plots, and charts.
Graphical
40
are visual displays that organise and present frequency counts so that the information can be interpreted more easily.
Frequency distributions
41
can show absolute frequencies or relative frequencies, such as proportions or percentages.
Frequency distributions
42
is a presentation containing non-overlapping categories or classes of a variable and the frequencies or counts of the observations falling into the categories or classes.
Frequency distributions Table

How to get Range
R = Highest - Lowest (make stem and leaves thingy)
44
Number of classes
K = √N (N= total # of Observation)
45
Class Size
C = R/K
46
Making of table
Number of Classes = Rows Class size = (plus)
47
LL (Lower Limit)
Lowest class + Class size
48
UL (Upper Limit)
2nd LL - 1

Class Mark (CM)
CM = LL+UL/2
51
Cumulative Frequency (
52
Cumulative Frequency (>CF)
>CF = Total F - f
53
Relative Frequency (RF)
RF = (Frequency of a Class / Total Frequency) X 100
54
Lower True Class Boundaries
LTCB = LL - 0.5
55
Upper True Class Boundaries
UTCB = UL + 0.5
56
(Ungrouped data) Mean
Mean = Total / # of Variables
57
(ungrouped data) Median
Middle of the list
58
(Ungrouped data) Mode
Most in frequency
59
- is the class with the less than cumulative frequency greater than or equal to one-half of the total frequency.
Median Class
60
The class interval where the value with the highest frequency occurs.
Modal class
