IDENTIFICATION & ENUMERATION
What part of a statistical table indicates the measurement used for the data values presented?
Unit of measurement
This type of variable is manipulated by the researcher to observe its effect.
Independent variable
It refers to the manipulation of collected data to produce results that answer specific research problems.
Data processing
These are unprocessed or unorganized data gathered directly from the population.
Raw data
This type of research focuses on the collection and analysis of numerical data and uses deduction.
Quantitative research
The graphical presentation used to show continuous change or trend over time.
Line graph
A distribution that is symmetrical, bell-shaped, and where the mean, median, and mode are equal.
Normal distribution
Data that have already been processed, summarized, or categorized.
Output data
The process of examining collected data to detect errors and omissions.
Editing of data
The part of a quantitative research process that must be completed before data gathering and strengthens data interpretation through linking.
Review of Related Literature (RRL)
Enumerate any three (3) characteristics of a good quantitative research question.
Any three of the following:
The statistical assumption used to decide whether parametric or non-parametric tests should be applied.
Normality
A graphical method used to show how parts of a whole relate to the total.
Pie chart / Circle graph
The method of organizing data into homogeneous groups for easier interpretation.
Classification of data
The research framework that serves as the blueprint of the study and weaves variables with theories.
Conceptual framework
Enumerate the three (3) characteristics that results in discussion should have.
- Systematic
- Logical
- Comprehensive
A statistical test used to compare the means of two independent groups when the data are normally distributed.
Independent t-test
The process of summarizing raw data and presenting them in compact form using rows and columns.
Tabulation of data
The form of data presentation that uses graphical or visual formats instead of sentences and paragraphs.
Non-prose materials
The research process that goes beyond analysis by making inferences and drawing conclusions about relationships among variables.
Interpretation
What are the steps in Data Analysis?
1. Organizing and preparing the data
2. Analyzing Data
3. Interpreting Results
The statistical value that determines whether the null hypothesis should be rejected or not, commonly compared to α = 0.05.
p-value
Which two common mistakes should be avoided when using pictographs in data presentation?
Using pictographs for large data sets
Using partial icons that may confuse interpretation
The research process that explains the true meaning of data in relation to the purpose of the study.
