Q1
These are numerical measurements that arise from a natural numerical scale.
-Quantitative Variable
-True
It means a subgroup of the members of population chosen for participation in the study
-Sample
These are often used to communicate research findings and to support hypotheses and give credibility
to research methodology and conclusions.
-Measurement
It is the study of how to collect, organize, analyze, and interpret numerical information from data.
-Statistics
One disadvantage of the mean is that a small number of extreme values can distort its value.
-True
When the number of elements of the population is fixed and thus making it possible to enumerate it in
totality.
-Finite
The statistics are presented in a indefinite form so they also help in condensing the data into important
figures.
-False
Q2
-Independent
Appropriate use of statistical methodology in data analysis means the data should be analyzed in a way
that is both scientifically and statistically unreasonable.
-False
-Seismology
The more variables, the more complex the study and the more complex the statistical analysis.
-True
It involves the application of specific statistical techniques to disciplines in biology such as population
genetics, epidemiology and public health.
-Biostatistics
We use statistics when the number of cases that can occur are really small.
-False
-True
Say you want to figure out which brand of microwave popcorn pops the most kernels so you can get the
most value for your money. You test different brands of popcorn to see which bag pops the most
popcorn kernels. Which among the choices is the independent variable?
The independent variables are called as predicator variable because independent variables predict or
forecast the values of the dependent variable in the model.
-True
It is commonly used for analyzing experiment results, testing their significance and displaying the results
accordingly.
-Statistical Method
The value of statistics is strong because they cannot serve as predictions as well as probabilities in
certain trends.
-False
-Dependent Variable
-Modern Science
-descriptive
The significance of statistical figures can be seen best when INVALIDATING solid arguments or
predictions out of hypotheses or conjectures that may seem overwhelming to a layman.
-False
The significance of statistical figures can be seen best when VALIDATING solid arguments or predictions
out of hypotheses or conjectures that may seem overwhelming to a layman.
-True
Variables are central to any analysis and they do NOT need to be understood well by the researcher.
-False
-False
-Predicted Variable
-True
-Dependent Variable
-Variable
-Variable
Scientific research rarely leads to absolute certainty.
-True
There are two key variables in every experiment: the dependent variable and the independent variable.
-True
-Operationalization
PRELIM
It is a nominal level variable that can take only two values (yes/no, male/female, Hungarian/non-
Hungarian).
-Dichotomoy
In ordinal measurement the numerical values just "name" the attribute uniquely.
In ratio scale, variables can be systematically added, subtracted, multiplied and divided.
-True
Say youre interested in how rising sea temperatures impact algae life, so you design an experiment that
measures the number of algae in a sample of water taken from a specific ocean site under varying
temperatures. What is the independent variable?
-School is wrong
b. {2, 2, 2, 3, 4,}
The time invested often requires determination of the appropriate methodology to apply in analysis
corresponding to the hypothesis and design of the investigation.
-True
This industry use statistical approaches to estimate the number of depositors and their claims for a
certain day
-Banking
It is always possible to transform data from a higher level to a lower level but never the other way
around
-True
-Ordinal
The mean is sensitive to any change in value, unlike the median and mode, where a change to an
extreme or uncommon value usually has NO EFFECT.
-TRUE
Nominal comes from the Latin root ‘name’ meaning nomen.
-False, baliktad
It refers to the relationship among the values that are assigned to the attributes for a variable.
-Levels of Measurement
Nominal provides the least amount of detail, and ratio provide the most amount of detail.
-True
-Interval
-Have meaningful intervals between measurements, but there is no true starting point (zero).
Statistics is ONLY the science of uncertainty and not the technology of extracting information from data.
-False
Descriptive Statistics is the branch of statistics that involves organizing, displaying and describing data.
-True
The characteristic of population based on all units is called parameter while the measure of sample
observation is called statistic.
-True
These are measurements for which there is no natural numerical scale, but which consist of attributes,
labels, or other non numerical characteristics.
-Qualitative Data
All measurements contain some uncertainty and error, and statistical methods help us quantify and
characterize this uncertainty.
-True
It is used to make predictions or comparisons about a larger group (a population) using information
gathered about a small part of that population.
-Inferential Statistics
-variance
Although in an interval scale, since there is an absence of the absolute 0 and it works on the principal of
an arbitrary 0, the division of variables is not possible.
-True
-Descriptive Statistics
Ratio scale is the 2nd level of measurement that reports the ranking and ordering of the data without
actually establishing the degree of variation between them.
-False
AVERAGE is wrong
-Yes or no is wrong
-Nominal
The concept of measurement has been developed in conjunction with the concepts of numbers and
units of measurement.
-True
Interval scales are exactly like ratio scales, except that they have a true zero point
-False
It is a branch of science that deals with the collection, organization, analysis of data and drawing of
inferences from the samples to the whole population.
-Statistics
-Interval
By default, all variables fall in one of the four scales.
-True
Example of this are number of episodes of respiratory arrests or the number of re-intubations in an
intensive care unit.-
-Sample is wrong
-population is wrong
Knowing the level of measurement helps you decide what statistical analysis is appropriate on the
values that were assigned
-True
-Zero
-Forecasting
False
3 is wrong
2 is wrong
Sex or Gender
Nominal
Age
Interval
Qualitative data are variables that cannot be ordered in a logical or natural way
True
The characteristic of population based on all units is called parameter while the measure of sample
observation is called statistic.
-True
-proportion
-False
It has have no order and thus only gives names or labels to various categories.
-Nominal
-Ratio
Examples of ratio level data include distance and area (e.g., acreage).
-Ratio
-True
Nominal scale is _______________________ in nature, which means numbers are used here only to
categorize or identify objects.
-Qualitative
-False
-Nominal
If a researcher aims to find the average height of a tribe in Columbia, the variable would simply be
__________________ in the sample.
a. 2 (wrong)
b. 1,0
c. 1
d. 0
The independent variables are called as predicated variable because independent variables predict or
forecast the values of the dependent variable in the model.
-False
-Interval
The nominal scale forms the basis for such analyses as the Chi-Square because those analyses require
that some category is compared to at least one other category.
-False
-Ratio is wrong
-Ratio is wrong
-Experimental Method
There is a subtype in ordinal scale with only two categories like one of the nominal scale and is known as
dichotomous ordinal scale.
-False
It is the branch of statistics that involves drawing conclusions about a population based on the
information contained in a sample taken from that population.
-Inferential Statistics
It does not only classify and order the measurements, but it also specifies that the distances between
each interval on the scale are equivalent along the scale from low interval to high interval.
-Interval
Using a ratio scale permits comparisons such as being twice as high, or one-half as much.
-True
-Sampling is wrong
The interval scale gives the ability to quantify and differentiate between options.
-True
