1. A statistic is a measure that describes a population characteristic.
2. The two main branches of statistics are population and sample.
3. Inferential statistics involves using a population to draw a conclusion about a
corresponding sample.
4. Data at the ordinal level is quantitative only.
5. Data at the ratio level cannot be put in order.
6. For data at the interval level, you cannot calculate meaningful differences between
7. Using a systematic sample guarantees that members of each group within a
population will be sampled.
8. A census is a count of part of a population.
9. Performing an experiment is the only way to collect reliable data.

1. F, it describes a sample characteristic
ReplyDelete2. F, the two main statistic branches are descriptive and inferential
3. F, Inferential statistics involves using a sample to draw a conclusion about a population.
4. F, Data at the ordinal level can be both qualitative, and quantitative
5. F, Data at the ratio level is the same as interval levels except that zero entries are inherited
6. F, You can calculate meaningful differences between data entries
7. F, using a systematic sample only uses intervals within numbers assigned
8. F, a census is a count of the entire population
9. F, You should use several ways to collect data such as observational studies, experiments, simulations, and surveys

1.False – a Parameter is a numerical description of a population characteristic. P.4
ReplyDelete2.False – The two main branches of statistics are Descriptive Statistics and Inferential Statistics. P.5
3.False – Inferential statistics is the branch of statistics that involves using a sample to draw conclusions about a population. P.5
4.False – Data at the ordinal level of measurement are qualitative or quantitative. P.10
5.False – Chart p.12
6.False – Data in the interval level of measurement are quantitative. The data can be ordered, and you can calculate meaningful differences between data entries. P.11
7.False – Stratified Sample: using a stratified sample ensures that each segment of the population is represented. P19
8.False – A census is a count or measure of an entire population. P.17
9.False – Multiple ways are described on pp.16-17
