Module 3.1 and 3.2

Question 1

is the process of gathering and measuring information about variables on study established systematic procedure, which then enable to answer relevant questions at hand and evaluate outcomes.

Answer 1

data collection

Question 2

refers to a set of people, objects, measurements, or events that belong to a defined group.

Answer 2

population

Question 3

is defined as a subset of a population. A sample is any subset of elements drawn by some appropriate method from a defined population. The sample is a small but representative cross-section of the population.

Answer 3

sample

Question 4

is descriptive and conceptual. It can be categorized based on traits and characteristics.

Answer 4

qualitative data

Question 5

are those obtained through counting. It can only assume a countable or finite number of values. It cannot take the form of decimals.

Answer 5

discrete

Question 6

are the result of a measurement.
It can assume infinitely many and continuous values.

Answer 6

continuous variable

Question 7

It is sometimes referred to as classificatory scale. This scale is used for classifying and labeling variables without quantitative value.

Answer 7

nominal

Question 8

It possesses the characteristics of the nominal scale, where it classifies data, however, the classification has ranks. Data is shown in order of magnitude.

Answer 8

ordinal

Question 9

lists categories of scores
along with their corresponding frequencies. The frequency for a category or class is the number of original scores that fall into that class.

Answer 9

frequency table

Question 10

consists of columns that can generate various graphs or charts. It is a prerequisite for
creating graphs and charts used in statistics.

Answer 10

extended frequency table

Question 11

It is a graph in which the classes are marked on the horizontal axis (x-axis) and the class frequencies on the vertical axis (y-axis).

Answer 11

histogram

Question 12

It is a graph that displays the data using points that are connected by lines.

Answer 12

frequency polygon

Question 13

is a graph that displays the cumulative frequencies for the classes in a frequency distribution. The graph is typical “upward” in trend. It also shows values below a certain boundary.

Answer 13

cumulative frequency polygon
