Name and define and discriminate between the two major branches of statistics (descriptive and inferential).

Define major terms and discriminate between a sample and a population.

Identify examples of the four levels of data and describe the characteristics of each data type.

You should know the difference between the methods of collecting data.

 Sampling (collecting data from part of a population)Census (collecting data from the entire population – be careful

because you can often do this with small groups such as number of vehicles members of the class own, average salary of the class, number of children per house on your street, etc.)

Simulation (Using probabilities to get your results, for example the probability of getting 3 heads in 5 flips of a coin, number of boys out of 5 children, etc.)

Perform an experiment ( often uses things like a control group like researchers giving one group the real medication and the other something that has no effect)

You should be able to identify levels of measurement

Nominal (just a name as in colors, types, number on a jersey, etc.)

Ordinal (Categories that can be ranked meaningfully) Interval (Distance between values has meaning but there is

no “absolute zero” like in the Fahrenheit temperature scale”

Ratio (has an “absolute zero” like the number of children you have, etc. always ask yourself is the lowest possible value zero or none? If so it is probably ratio, if it can go below zero like distance above or below sea level it would be Interval)

Know the difference between inferential and descriptive statistics.

Descriptive statistics are used to reveal patterns through the analysis of numeric data (collect non-numeric data and then analyze). Descriptive statistics, not surprisingly, "describe" data that

have been collected. Commonly used descriptive statistics include frequency counts, ranges (high and low scores or values), means, modes, median scores, and standard deviations.

Inferential statistics are used to draw conclusions and make predictions based on the analysis of numeric data. Inferential statistics are used to draw conclusions and make

predictions based on the descriptions of data.

Know the difference between quantitative and qualitative data

Quantitative (numbers with meaning)Qualitative (Colors, types, etc. and numbers

without meaning)

Know the difference in Sampling Techniques Random (simply picking where every member has an equal chance –

drawing out of a bag – generating random numbers) Stratified (dividing your population into strata and then picking a certain

number from each strata) Systematic (picking every nth one – for example testing every 20 th unit off

of an assembly line) Convenience (just asking who is available or who is listening, not making

an effort to get a true sample) Cluster (dividing the population into clusters and sampling everyone in one

or two of the clusters) Understand the relationship between a Sample and a Population A sample is a subset of a population Sampling is more convenient and easier Statistics come from Samples Parameters come from the population (key word “all”)

Identify the Class WidthClass width is 5 because each class contains five members (first class for

example contains 58,59,60,61, and 62) or you can simply the “ending value of the first class “62” from the ending value of the second class “67” (67-62 = 5)

 Identify the midpoint of the last class95 because (97+93)/2 = 95 Identify the class boundariesSimply subtract .5 from the lower and add .5 to the upper57.5-62.5, 62.5-67.5, 67.5-72.5, 72.5-77.5, 77.5-82.5, 82.5-87.5, 87.5-92.5,

As an instructor, I have been collecting data to see if I can model a student’s performance on a standardized entrance exam. I determined that the multiple regression equation y = -250+ 16a + 30b, where a is a student’s grade on a quiz, b is the student’s rank on a class list, gives y, the score on a standardized entrance exam. Based on this equation, what would the standardized entrance exam score for a student who makes a 7 on the quiz and had a ranking of 10 be?

y = -250+ 16a + 30bSubstitute 7 for “a” and 10 for “b”

y = -250+ 16*7 + 30*10y = -250 + 112 + 300y = -250 + 412y = 162

Week 3 QuizIn my previous example, I determined that the

r^2 value (r squared) was .921. What does this tell me? What if my “r” (correlation coefficient) was .654? What would this say?

In my previous example, I determined that the r^2 value (r squared) was .921. What does this tell me? What if my “r” (correlation coefficient) was .654? What would this say?

You could say "About 92.1% of the variation in student’s standardized entrance exams can be explained by the score of the quiz and their rank on the class list. The other 7.9% of the variation is either unexplained or is due to other things.

As far as the “r” being .654 , I would say that I have a moderately strong positive correlation.

1) Find the equation of the regression line for the given data.

2) What is the r2 for the data?3) What is the r for the data?4) What does correlation say about causation?5) Predict a Lab Report Score for someone

who spent one hour on it.

Predicted score for someone who spent one hour would be:y = 3.158(1) +24.71y = 27.9 or I would say 28 since all scores are in whole numbersAlso, correlation says nothing about causation!
