- 1• Information you gather can come from a range of sources. • There are a variety of techniques to use when gathering primary data.Method of Obtaining Data
- 2Can be conducted in person or over the telephone, can be done formally (structured), semi-structured, or informally. Questions should be focused, clear, and encourage open-ended responses Qualitative in natureInterviews
- 3Responses can be analyzed with quantitative methods by assigning numerical values to Likert-type scales. Results are generally easier (than qualitative techniques) to analyze. Pretest/Posttest can be compared and analyzedQuestionnaires and Surveys
- 4Study of the dynamics of a situation, frequency counts of target behaviors, or other behaviors as indicated by needs of evaluation.Observations
- 5Group interviews with individuals that have something in common. Gathers information about combined perspectives and opinions.Focus Groups
- 6• Studying a single phenomenon • Examines people in their natural settings • Uses a combination of techniques such as observation, interviews, and surveys.Ethnographies, Oral History, and Case Studies
- 7Examining existing data in the form of databases, meeting minutes, reports, attendance logs, financial records, and newsletters.Documents and Records
- 8Using historical data. Involve a lot of data, but that data may contain relatively little useful information about the problem. Some of the relevant data may be missing, there may be transcription or recording errors resulting in outliers (unusual values)Retrospective Study
- 9the engineer observes the process or population, disturbing it as little as possible, and records the quantities of interest. These studies are usually conducted for a relatively short period, sometimes variables that are not routinely measured can be included.Observational Study
- 10the engineer makes deliberate or purposeful changes in the controllable variables of the system or process, observes the resulting system output data, and then makes an inference or decision about which variables are responsible for the observed changes in output performance.Designed Experiments
- 11this is a way to ask a lot of people a few well-constructed questions. It is a series of unbiased questions that the subject must answer.Survey
- 12- Fewer misunderstood questions, fewer incomplete responses, higher response rates, and greater control over the environment. - Can be expensive and time-consuming and required a large staff of trained interviewers.Face-to-Face Interview
- 13- less expensive than interviews, does not require a large staff, and can be administered in large numbers. - Responders are more likely to stop participating mid-way and can’t ask them to clarify their answers.Self-administered survey
- 14Appropriate ways of displaying data include using a pie chart or bar graphs. Display, Analyze, and Interpret Statistical Survey Data
- 15you can specify (and set the levels) and then assign at random as the treatment to the experimental units. (Examples: Temperature, etc.)Experimental Factors
- 16can’t be changed or assigned, but you can select individuals from these groups individually. (Examples: Age and Sex)Classification factors
- 17can assign specified level (Example: percent or pH level of a chemical)Quantitative Factors
- 18have categories which are different types. (Examples: Species of plant, gender, and brand in marketing field)Qualitative Factors
- 19Likelihood or chance of an event occurring.Probability
- 20Consists of a set of possible outcomes of a probability experiment. Can be one or more than one outcomes.Event
- 21An event with one outcomeSimple Event
- 22An event with more than one outcomeCompound Event
- 23is the set of all possible outcomes or results of a random experiment. Represented by Letter SSample space
- 24- Arrangement of elements in a distinct order. - Given a single set of n distinctively different elements, you wish to select k elements from the n and arrange them within k positions.Permutations Rule
- 25- Suppose a single set of n distinctively different elements exists. You wish to partition them into k sets, with the first set containing n1 elements, the second containing n2 elements... and the kth set containing nk elements.Partitions Rule
- 26- A sample of k elements is to be chosen from a set of n elements. The number of different samples of k samples that can be selected from n is equal toCombinations Rule
- 27The number of possible sets is then defined by:Multiplicative Rule

- 28- Two events are mutually exclusive or _____ if they cannot occur at the same time.disjoint
- 29- The probability that event A occurs, given that event B has occurred, is called aconditional probability
- 30- The _______ of an event is the event not occurring. Denoted by the symbol P(A’)complement
- 31The probability that events A and B both occur is the probability of the _________. Denoted by P(A ∩ B)intersection
- 32- The probability that events A or B occur is the probability of the _______. Denoted by P(A ∪ B)union
- 33- If Event A changes the probability of Event B, then both Event are _____Dependent
- 34- If Event A does not change the probability of Event B, Then both events are ______independent
- 35Rule of Addition

- 36Rule of Multiplication

- 37Rule of Subtraction

- 38- estimation involves the use of sample data to calculate a single value - since it identifies a point in some parameter space) which is to serve as a "best guess" or "best estimate" of an unknown population parameterPoint Estimation
- 39The variability of a sampling distribution is measured by its ________ or its ____________.variance, standard
deviation - 40The number of observations in the population.N
- 41The number of observations in the sample.n
- 42the factor sqrt[ (N - n ) / (N - 1) ]finite population correction or fpc
- 43probability of the occurrence of an eventsuccess; P
- 44probability of the non-occurrence of an eventfailure; Q
- 45states that the sampling distribution of the mean of any independent, random variable will be normal or nearly normal, if the sample size is large enough.central limit theorem
- 46The range of possible values of the parameter θ is calledparameter space Ω
- 47The function of X1, X2, ..., Xn, that is, the statistic u(X1, X2, ..., Xn), used to estimate θpoint estimator
- 48- If the following holds: E[u(X1, X2, ..., Xn)]=θE[u(X1, X2, ..., Xn)] = θ then the statistic u(X1, X2, ..., Xn)u(X1, X2, ..., Xn) is an _______ - Otherwise, u(X1,X2,...,Xn)u(X1,X2,...,Xn) is a _______unbiased estimator, biased estimator
- 49The ____________ of an estimator is its standard deviation:standard error

- 50combines the notions of bias and standard error. It is defined asMean squared error

- 51gives an estimated range of values which is likely to include an unknown population parameter, the estimated range being calculated from a given set of sample data.confidence value
- 52The ________ of a confidence interval gives the probability that the interval produced by the method employed includes the true value of the parameter .level C
