Median - T or F

Affected by fluctuation of sampling

A

T

35

Measure of Central Tendency

It is the values that occurs most often, and used for categorical or numerical

A

Mode (Mo)

36
Q

Mode - T or F

THere may not be a mode?

A

T

not all data has identcal something

37
Q

Mode - T or F

Mode is readily comprehensible and easily calculated

A

T

38
Q

It is the “highlight” of the data set

A

Mode

39
Q

What central tendency are OA for extreme values

A

MEAN

get it cause its “mean” kaya oa

mode and median are not sensitive for extreme values

40
Q

Mode - T or F

value of mode can also be determined graphically.

A

T

41
Q

Mode - T or F

usually an actual value of an important part of the series.

A

T

42
Q

Mode - T or F

Always based on all observation and capable of more mathematical manipulations

A

F (for both)

43
Q

central tendencies that are affected GREATLY by sampling fluctuations

A

Median and Mode

44
Q
  • Describes how data are distributed
  • Measures of Shap – Symmetric or skewed
A

Frequency Distribution Shapes

45
Q

Best central tendency if the shape is skewer is ??!

A

Median

46
Q

what central tendency always PROJECT THE POINT in skewerisity

A

Mode

skewirisity = yung nag ssskewed yall know it

Q

Range
Variance
Standard deviation
Coefficient of Variation

A

Measures of Variability or Dispersion

48
Q

Difference Between Largest & Smallest Observations:

A

Range

49
Q

what is the formula for RANGE

A

X(largest) - X(smallest)

50
Q

Range - T or F

  • Very sensitive to extreme values
  • Mention the least and greatest value
A

Range

51
Q

Shows Variation About the Mean: – gaano kalayo sa mean

A

Variance

nasa question na sagot, bobo ka pag dimo alam :P jk

52
Q

if u see this card

A

go over the formula for variance

53
Q

We usually dont know the data for the POPULATION! for variance?

A

T

54
Q

Just the square root of the VARIANCE

A

Standard Deviation

55
Q

what is the basis of SD?

A

Mean

gaano kalayo sa mean; para magets check ppt ha

56
Q

is a measure of how dispersed the data is in relation to the mean?

A

Standard deviation

57
Q

A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean, while a high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range.

A

use this card para magets mo SD

from innernet and gpt

58
Q
  • Measure of Relative Variation
  • Always presented as a pecenteage %
  • Shows Variation Relative to Mean

Q

if u see this card

A

go over the formul of COEFFICIENT OF VARIATION

60
Q

Not often computed, only when comparing two or more groups with two different unit of measurement

Percentiles

62
Q

Measures of Location or Position

Divides the distribution into 10 = parts

A

Deciles

63
Q

Measures of Location or Position

Divides the distribution into 4 = segments

A

Quartiles

64
Q
  • Measure of variation
  • Also known as the Midspread: Spread in the middle 50%
