BUS 300 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Contingency Table, Frequency Distribution, Central Tendency
Document Summary
The elementary transformation of raw data in a way that describes the basic characteristics such as central tendency, distribution, and variability. A graphical way of showing a frequency distribution in which the height of a bar corresponds to the observed frequency of the category. The orderly arrangement of data in a table or other summary format showing the number of responses to each response category. Tallying is the term when the process is done by hand. A table showing the different ways respondents answered a question. Addresses research questions involving relationships among multiple less-than interval variables.
