W2: COLLECTION OF DATA

Knowledge from an ability to understand or know something immediately based on feelings rather than facts. (Cambridge dictionary)

Person or organization having political or administrative power, influence, and control.

Any process of knowledge generation that requires the application of
reasoning or logic.lowest level of measurement and most often used with variables that are
qualitative in nature than quantitativeNumerical scale on which the distance between adjacent units is equal, no
absolute zero pointwhaAny property or characteristic of some event, object, or person that may have
different values at different times depending on the conditions.Number calculated on population data that quantifies a characteristic of the
population.No variables are actively manipulated by the investigator

Primary source of knowledge

Systematic gathering and analyzing of data to test hypotheses and
answer questions.

what are the 3 attributes of scales?

what are the 3 characteristics of scales in research?

lowest level of measurement and most often used with variables that are qualitative in nature than quantitative

possess a low level of property of magnitude
ranking/ordering cases in terms of degree to which they have any given
characteristic
o no equal interval is assumed between units/values or no established numeric differences between data points

Numerical scale on which the distance between adjacent units is equal, no absolute zero point

numerical scales on which the distance between adjacent units is equal, and have absolute zero points

Refer to methods for organizing, summarizing and interpreting data (Gravetter & Wallnau, 2019

Techniques that are used to describe or characterize the obtained data

what are the areas of statistics?

Techniques that use the obtained sample data to infer to populations

Measurements that are made on the subjects of an experiment are called?

Any property or characteristic of some event, object, or person that may have different values at different times depending on the conditions.

Describes a characteristic

Depicts or assigns a numerical value

what is the difference between discrete and continuous?

This is described as the one in which there are no possible values between adjacent units on the scale (Pagano, 2007)

This is described as the one that theoretically can have an infinite number of values between adjacent units on the scale (Pagano, 2007).

descriptive statistics comonly uses?

Likelihood or degree of certainty that a particular event will occur.

Typically involve collecting data on behaviors, attitudes, or actions of two or more groups to answer a research question (hypothesis).

Manipulated by the investigator.

Measured by the investigator.

what are the types of variables in experiments?

Complete set of individuals, objects, or scores that the investigator is interested in studying

Number calculated on population data that quantifies a characteristic of the population.

Subset of the population.

Number calculated on sample data that quantifies a characteristic of the
sample.

No variables are actively manipulated by the investigator

what are the types of observational studies?

There is an attempt to determine whether changes in one variable
produce changes in one variable.
