SOCC31H3 Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Part I
Document Summary
The whole idea is to transform raw data into a meaningful and organized set of measures that can be used to test hypothesis. The first step is to construct a frequency distribution in the form of a table. ex: question- response of young boys to frustration. Table 2. 1 responses of young boys to removal of toy. every table must have title and label by numbers as well. Frequency distribution of nominal data consist of two columns consisting of: characteristics presented (response of child, categories of analysis(cry, anger, withdraw, frequency (# of responses per category, total number of responses right at the end (n = 50) Looking at this table, it is evident that more young boys respond by crying or with anger than withdrawal or playing with another toy. making comparisons between frequency distributions is often used to clarify results and add information. ex: table 2. 2 response to removal of toy by gender of child.
