Q

Tools to figure out the spread or distribution of data

A

Measures of dispersion

17
Q

Describe how dispersed the data values are from and around the measure of central tendency

A

Measures of dispersion

18
Q

If it is around the mean it is __________

A

Clustered values

19
Q

If it is farther from the mean, it is ___________

A

Scattered values

20
Q

What are the statistical analysis tools in the measure of dispersion?

A

Range
standard deviation
interquartile range
variance
kurtosis

21
Q

How to find the range?

A

Find the difference between the largest and smallest values in a dataset

22
Q

Dispersion for the middle 50% of the values of a particular numerical

A

Interquartile range

23
Q

Values are arranged from lowest to largest, then divided into four parts or quartile

each quartile contains 25% of the values

A

Interquartile range

24
Q

What to do in interquartile range

A

Focuse on the middle/ 50% of the data and ignores extreme values such as 25% and 75%

25
Q

Measure of a tailedness of a distribution

A

Kurtosis

26
Q

Is how often outliers occur

A

Tailedness

27
Q

What does datasets with high kurtosis suggest?

A

It has a heavy tail or has plenty of outliers

28
Q

How is the kurtosis represented

A

Graphs and illustrations

29
Q

Measures of variability

A

Variance

30
Q

Tells how much different values for a given set deviate from the mean value

A

Variance

31
Q

Allows critical observations wherein large values or attributions differs greatly

A

Varience

32
Q

Zero variance means data values in the set are….?

A

Exactly the same

33
Q

Often presented as square of standard deviation to avoid getting negative values making interpretation difficult

A

Variance

34
Q

Measure of the spread or variation of data about the mean

A

Standard deviation

35
Q

Most common way of measuring a linear correlation

A

Pearson r correlation

36
Q

Describes correlation or the variation of one go with another

A

Parson r correlation

37
Q

Three main types of t-test

A

Independent sample t-test
Paired sample t-test
one sample t-test

38
Q

Collecting, summarizing, and describing data

A

Descriptive statistics

39
Q

Drawing conclusions and making decisions conserving a population based only on sample data

A

Inferential statistics
