MOE
2Op^
Op^ formula
square root P(1-p)/sample size
95%
2 standard deviation
Data collection
The process of gathering information to answer specific questions or make predictions about a population
observational study
collection of data from a population that does not have any treatment or intervention done by the researchers.
controlled experiment
manipulating a variable (independent variable) to observe its effect on another variable (dependent variable) while controlling other outcomes that could. effect the results
experimental
Cause and effect
Survey
census, sampling varibility, make sure if there is a question you answer the one that is least bias
Usual/fair
95 %
not fair, unusual
outside the 95%
relationship between standard deviation and spread of data
the greater SD the more variability or spread of the data,
the smaller the SD the less variability or spread of the data
sample size relationship with sampling variability
Inverse: sample size increases, sampling variability decreases in the sample proportion and the SD decreases
sample size versus population
less variation in a sample size compared to population
relationship between sample size and MOE
