25
Q

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.

A

Ordinal

26
Q

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.

A

Interval

27
Q

The data can be categorized and ranked. There is an existence of zero.

A

Ratio

28
Q

Methods of Data
Collection


A

Objective
Subjective
Use of existing records


29
Q

uses any or combination of the five senses (sense of sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell) to measure the variable

A

Subjective

30
Q

obtains data by getting responses through a questionnaire.

A

Objective

31
Q

resulting data from these two methods of data collection (subjective and objective) is referred to as

A

primary data.

32
Q

It obtained through the _____________________ or data collected by other entities for certain purposes.

A

use of existing records

33
Q

The gathered data from this method of data (Use of existing records) collection is referred to as

A

secondary data.

34
Q

Data collection techniques

A

Observation
Interview and focus group
Transactional Tracking
Social media tracking
Online tracking
Surveys
Forms

35
Q

3 types of invterview conducted for data collection

A

Telephone interview
Face to Face interview
Computer-assisted personal interviewing

36
Q

Methods of Data
Presentation


A

Textual
Tabular
Graphical

37
Q

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.

A

Textual

38
Q

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.

A

Tabular

39
Q

A visual representation of data statistics-based results using graphs, plots, and charts.

A

Graphical

40
Q

are visual displays that organise and present frequency counts so that the information can be interpreted more easily.

A

Frequency distributions

41
Q

can show absolute frequencies or relative frequencies, such as proportions or percentages.

A

Frequency distributions

42
Q

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.

A

Frequency distributions Table

43
Q

How to get Range

A

R = Highest - Lowest (make stem and leaves thingy)

44
Q

Number of classes

A

K = √N (N= total # of Observation)

45
Q

Class Size

A

C = R/K

46
Q

Making of table

A

Number of Classes = Rows
Class size = (plus)

47
Q

LL (Lower Limit)

A

Lowest class + Class size

48
Q

UL (Upper Limit)

A

2nd LL - 1

49
Q

Frequency

A

in the stem/Leaf thingy

50
Q

Class Mark (CM)

A

CM = LL+UL/2

51
Q

Cumulative Frequency (<CF)

A

<CF = Lowest F + f

52
Q

Cumulative Frequency (>CF)

A

> CF = Total F - f

53
Q

Relative Frequency (RF)

A

RF = (Frequency of a Class / Total Frequency) X 100

54
Q

Lower True Class Boundaries

A

LTCB = LL - 0.5

55
Q

Upper True Class Boundaries

A

UTCB = UL + 0.5

56
Q

(Ungrouped data) Mean

A

Mean = Total / # of Variables

57
Q

A

Middle of the list

58
Q

(Ungrouped data) Mode

Q
  • is the class with the less than cumulative frequency greater than or equal to one-half of the total frequency.
A

Median Class

60
Q

The class interval where the value with the highest frequency occurs.

A

Modal class
