BASIC CONCEPTS OF STATISTICS
Directions. Identify what is asked and select the answer to the given choices.
1. These are variables that assume only a finite number of values or as many as there are positive integers.
(discrete variable, continuous variable)
2. It contains only a part of the set of data in a population.
(population, sample)
3. It is the level of measurement that classifies and categorizes data.
(nominal, ordinal, ratio, interval)
4. It is a set of data that consists of the totality of observations with which we are concerned.
(population, sample)
5. It is a branch of statistics that summarizes the characteristic of a data set.
(Inferential Statistics, Descriptive Statistics)
6. These data are characterized by numerical values
(quantitative data, qualitative data)
7. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the method of collecting, organizing, presenting, analyzing
and interpreting of data.
(Statistics, Geometry, Algebra)
8. It is the level of measurement that shows some ordered or ranked relationship between a number of
samples.
(nominal, ordinal, ratio, interval)
9. These are variables that assume an infinite number of values between any two specific numbers.
(continuous variable, discrete variable)
10. This is the level of measurement wherein variables are measured based on a set of intervals on a certain
scale.
(nominal, ordinal, ratio, interval)
11. It is a numerical characteristic or attribute associated with the population that can assume different values.
(variable, data)
12. It refers to a collection of observable information or facts.
(variable, data)
13. Physical measures like mass, length, time, plane angle, energy and electric charge belong to this level of
measurement.
(nominal, ordinal, ratio, interval)
14. These data are characterized by categories.
(quantitative data, qualitative data)
15. It is a branch of statistics that focuses on drawing conclusions or inferences about a large group of data
based on a representative sample of the population.
