discrete data

19
Q

a naturally occurring phenomenon that can be altered by increasing or decreasing its magnitude.

A

independent variable

20
Q

a variable that is observed upon application of the changes applied to the independent variable.

A

dependent variable

21
Q

kept constant to check for the external effects of the dependent to the independent variable.

A

controlled variable

22
Q

would have minimal effect to the result of the dependent variable to the independent variable.

A

extraneous variable

23
Q

assigning numerical to categorical data

A

nominal

24
Q

assigning rank to the levels of data

A

ordinal data

25
Q

assigning a constant difference between numeric data.

A

interval

26
Q

assigning continuous range of data over a range.

A

ratio

27
Q

is the process of taking samples from the population.

A

sampling

28
Q

this eliminates the biases against certain event that has no chance to be selected by listing all the possible events ad taking a chance that they will be selected to be part of the sample.

A

probability sampling

29
Q

this type of sampling technique has certain or has no chance of an individual of being selected to be part of the sample.

A

non-probability sampling

30
Q

performed by arranging the population according to a certain rule

A

simple random sampling

31
Q

done by arranging the population in accordance to a certain order

A

systematic sampling

32
Q

done by grouping the population into strata

A

strata

34
Q

heterogenous subpopulation

A

clusters

35
Q

done by identifying groups

A

cluster sampling

36
Q

based primarily on the availability of the respondents

A

convenience sampling

37
Q

the sample is obtained based on a certain premise

A

purposive sampling

38
Q

4 scales of measurement
