Parameter or Statistic
1. 20% of U.S. Senators are political science majors
2. A study of 100 WCC students found that 46.7% passed statistics
1. Parameter, taking about all the population of U.S. Senators
2. Statistic, study of, a portion of the population= sample=statistic
data that is not organized
What is Raw Data?
What is arithmetic mean?
Box Plots: What equations do we use to find upper and lower fences? How do we find IQR?
Lower Fence= Q1-1.5(IQR)
Upper Fence=Q3+1.5(IQR)
IQR= Q3-Q1
Qualitative or Quantitative
1. Student ID
2. Jersey #
3. Temperature
4. Height
1. Qualitative
2. Qualitative
3. Quantitative, 0 degree means 0 degrees
4. Quantitative
ex) organizing M&Ms based on their color and how frequently that color shows up in my bag
Is "Mew" for population or sample?
Is X bar for population or sample?
mew=population mean
X bar= sample mean
What are the 4 levels of measurement?
1. Nominal=variable name, label, and categorize
2. Ordinal=1st,2nd, 3rd, etc
3. Interval= 0 does not mean an absence of quantity
4. Ratio= 0 means nothing is there
How do we find Relative Frequency?
(formula)
relative frequency=Frequency/ sum of all frequencys
- Essentially you are finding the percentage of how much your variable appears in your populations
True or False?
The Median is the average.
False, it is just the value that lies in the middle of the data when arranged in ascending order. Mean tells us something, "On average..."
Determine the level of measurement:
1. Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior
2. Gender
3. Kilograms
1. Ordinal
2. Nominal
3. Interval
If I label my data horizontally or vertically, used rectangles of equal width to represent the frequency or relative frequency of my data. What would I have?
What is a bar graph?
Construct a Stem and Leaf Plot
23 56. 29
36. 10. 26
23. 15
23. 20

a subset of the of the population being studied
What is a sample?
How do we find class width?
class width= largest data value-smallest data value/number of classes
Min Q1 M Q3 Maximum
