collects data about characteristics of a population (factual)
Back
-2 to 2 represents what percent of the data
Front
95%
Back
-3 to -2 and 3 to 2, equal what on the normal curve
Front
2.35%
Back
random sampling
Front
each individual in the population has an equal likelihood of being picked (no bias)
Back
polynomial
Front
x3
Back
Interquartile range
Front
Q3 - Q1
Back
outlier
Front
any number more than 1.5 x IQR or below Q1
Back
steps in finding standard devation
Front
1. put data in table
2. find the mean
3. subtract the mean from the data
4. square the answer from 3
5. find the mean of 4
6. square root 5
Back
-1 to 0 and 1 to 0, equal what on the normal curve
Front
34%
Back
clustered sampling
Front
used when "natural" but relatively same grouping are evidence in a population
1.divided into small groups
2. random sampling is used to choose one of the groups
3.then the chosen group goes through random selection
Back
high devation
Front
when the spread is big and spread is around the mean
Back
law of large numbers
Front
states that the variation in the data set decreases as the sample size increases
Back
systematic sampling
Front
samples members from large population and selects according to random starting point and fixed periodic interval
1.one is chosen at random or by designing the start point
2.the rest are chosen by every nth time until all needs are met
Back
what two pieces do you need to represent the data in a normal curve
Front
standard devation and mean
Back
polls
Front
Interviews participates to collect specific answers
Back
low devation
Front
when the spread is small and us grouped closer to the mean
Back
-3 to 3 represents what percent of the data
Front
99.7%
Back
-1 to 1 represents what percent of the data
Front
68%
Back
how to find the standard devation on the calculator
Front
menu> stats> "enter data under list 1"> F2 (cal)> F1 (1var)
Back
questionnaires
Front
much broader and more open ended (opinions) (Cant ask factual questions)
Back
linear
Front

Back
Quadratics
Front
x2
Back
stratified sampling
Front
mini-reproduction of population
1.population is divided into characteristic of importance for the research
2.randomly sampled within each category
Back
-2 to -1 and 2 to 1, equal what on the normal curve
