GGR270H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Univariate, Normal Distribution, Income Distribution
Document Summary
Charactestics of the population that changes or varies over time. Space helps us to look at these variables. Basically, we are measuring temperature, education level, Quantitative numerical eg. numbers of students who We can measure by using numbers, we can assing numberrs or we can count. Qualitative non numerical e. g male/female, plant species, education type. Sometimes based on what you are doing, qualitative can be assigned to quantitative, 2 men or 6 women. Data are always plural , because it is always based on numbers and many things. Results from measuring variables -set of measurements*** You have a variable and then after measuring, what it gives you is a set of data. Univariate (one variable and one set data) , Bivariat (there are two variables at work) , Multivariate (measuring gender, income, level of school, when you have bunch of measurements, then you have a series of variables)
