  • • Related to the actual values in the set
  • • Useful in statistics
  • • Usual used with ordinal and continuous data

Questão 15

Questão

Responda
  • • More difficult to understand
  • • Affected by extreme values

Questão 16

Questão

Responda
  • The difference between the upper quartile (75% data point) and the lower quartile (25% data point).
  • How much on average each score deviates from the mean score.

Questão 17

Questão
What are the advantages of the interquartile range?
Responda
  • • Related to the actual values in the set
  • • Useful in statistics
  • • Used with continuous data
  • • Usually used with ordinal and continuous data
  • • Unaffected by extreme values

Questão 18

Questão
What are the disadvantages of the inter-quartile range?
Responda
  • • More difficult to understand
  • • Unlikely to be a value in the set

Questão 19

Questão
What is standard deviation?
Responda
  • How much on average each score deviates from the mean score.
  • The difference between the upper quartile (75% data point) and the lower quartile (25% data point).

Questão 20

Questão
What are the advantages of standard deviation?
Responda
  • • Uses all the values in the set
  • • Easy to understand
  • • Useful in statistics
  • • Used with continuous data
  • • Usually used with ordinal and continuous data

Questão 21

Questão
What are the disadvantages of standard deviation?
Responda
  • • Affected by extreme values
  • • More difficult to understand
  • • Unlikely to be a value in the set

Questão 22

Questão
What is a normal distribution?
Responda
  • This is normal because the mean, median and mode lies in the same place, the mean is the preferred method.
  • The mean is dragged in the direction of the skew so the median is the preferred measure (an easy test – ceiling effect).

Questão 23

Questão
What is a negatively skewed distribution?
Responda
  • The mean is dragged in the direction of the skew so the median is the preferred measure (an easy test – ceiling effect).
  • Left
  • Right

Questão 24

Questão
What is a positively skewed distribution?
Responda
  • The mean is dragged in the direction of the skew so the median is the preferred measure (an easy test – ceiling effect).
  • Left
  • Right

Questão 25

Questão
What is the preferred measure for a normal distribution?
Responda
  • Median
  • Mode
  • Mean

Questão 26

Questão
What is the preferred method for a skewed distribution?
Responda
  • Mode
  • Median

Questão 27

Questão
What are box and whisker plots?
Responda
  • They are helpful for indicating whether a distribution is skewed and if there any unusual observations (outliers) in the data set.
  • They are useful when large numbers of observations are involved or comparing two or more data sets.

Questão 28

Questão
What are the different ways of representing data?

Questão 29

Questão
What are the levels of measurement
Responda
  • Nominal data
  • Continuous data
  • Ordinal data
  • Ratio data
  • Categorical data
  • Interval data

Questão 30

Questão
What is nominal data?
Responda
  • When quantities that are ordered y criteria such as positions in a rate. However it does not allow you to state whether the intervals between each value are equal.
  • categorically discrete data such as the name of your school or the car you drive.
  • This is like like ordinal data except the intervals between each value is equally split, such as the time of day on a clock.

Questão 31

Questão
What is ordinal data?
Responda
  • like ordinal data except the intervals between each value is equally split, such as the time of day on a clock.
  • interval data with a natural zero point (ruler in cm).
  • When quantities that are ordered y criteria such as positions in a rate. However it does not allow you to state whether the intervals between each value are equal.
  • The median could be a measure of central tendency for this.

Questão 32

Questão
What is interval data?
Responda
  • The median could be a measure of central tendency for this.
  • this is like ordinal data except the intervals between each value is equally split, such as the time of day on a clock.

Questão 33

Questão
What is ratio data?
Responda
  • this is like ordinal data except the intervals between each value is equally split, such as the time of day on a clock.
  • interval data with a natural zero point (ruler in cm).

Questão 34

Questão
What is categorical data?
Responda
  • data which is divided into groups (types of animals). This data is nominal and discrete.
  • The mode would be the measure of central tendency as it cannot be used with arithmetic.
  • Representations could include a bar chart with gaps between the bars (grouped discrete data)
  • data restricted to a limited set of discrete values (shoes size and money)

Questão 35

Questão
What is continuous data?
Responda
  • data which can take any value within a range (height). The mean could be a measure of central tendency, this is because it would give you the arithmetic average for the large range of data which can then be used in statistics.
  • The median could be used if the data was skewed because this would be more representative of the data.
  • Representations could include a line graph or a histogram (grouped continuous)

Questão 36

Questão
What is discrete data?
Responda
  • data restricted to a limited set of discrete values (shoes size and money)
  • data which is divided into groups (types of animals). This data is nominal and discrete. The mode would be the measure of central tendency as it cannot be used with arithmetic.

Questão 37

Questão
What types of data is the mean used for?
Responda
  • Continuous
  • Standard deviation

Questão 38

Questão
What types of data is the median used for?
Responda
  • Ordinal data
  • Skewed data

Questão 39

Questão
What types of data would be the mode be used for?
Responda
  • Categorical data
  • Ordinal data
  • Nominal data
