Designed research that provides information needed

to solve a research problem. the use of data that have been

collected and analyzed in answering the research

problem.

(a)  

Collection of all elements

under consideration in a

statistical inquiry

(a)  

A subset of the population

(a)  

A single numeric figure that describes a particular

feature of the whole collection

(a)  

branch of mathematical statistics

(a)  

Concerned with the procedures and techniques used

in the collection, presentation, organization,

analysis, and interpretation of data

(a)  

Includes all the techniques used in organizing,

summarizing, and presenting the data on hand. Cannot be used to make generalizations about the population if the data on hand is simply the sample

data

(a)  

Includes all the techniques analyzing the sample data

that will lead to generalizations about a population

from which the sample came from. Conclusions will be subject to some error. Probability theory will help us understand the

possible errors that can be committed

(a)  

assumes different values for different elements

(a)  

Variable that yields categorical response

(a)  

Variable that takes on numerical values representing

an amount or quantity

(a)  

Process of determining the value or label of the

variable based on what has been observed

(a)  

level of measurement with absolute zero

(a)  

has a fixed unit of measurement representing a set size throughout the scale

(a)  

categories are arranged according to magnitude

(a)  

classify element into distinct categories of the variable

(a)  

Observations measured using the nominal or ordinal

levels. Special type of analysis because of the restrictions in the system

(a)  

processed data
