Document Summary
These are tools used to organize & illustrate data. Include but limited to tables, graphs, measure of central tendency, measures of variability. Population: group of people who share similar characteristics or traits, group of people that you are interested in studying: target: ideal population, people you want, accessible: who you can get your hands on. Sample: subset of people from your target population. *big assumption is that the sample is representative of the population. Equal intervals b/w levels of an attribute (no true zero) Equal intervals b/w levels of an attribute (true zero) Score (x): value of variable which you measured (can be anything) X= 20 mins, x= 180 cm, x= 75bpm. This la(cid:374)guage is (cid:373)ai(cid:374)ly applied to i(cid:374)terval/ratio data. If you are a (cid:373)ale, that does(cid:374)"t represe(cid:374)t a score (cid:374)or if you are 1st in a race! Data set or distribution: collect" of scores typically arranged in a series of columns & rows.
