Definitions with page numbers
Think; Show; Tell again
Chapter 2 - Data* Read p. 7 to middle of p. 9 in the book
Summary:* Context of the data is absolutely essential before we do anything!
* The W’s (and H): Who, What, When, Where, Why, How
* Data tables help organize the data
* Each row of a data table is called an individual case
* Individuals do not always mean people
* Cases are usually from a SAMPLE of a larger POPULATION (hopefully representative)
* Individuals = the things that we want to collect data from. People, animals, cars, etc.
* POPULATION = ALL individuals that we want to conclude about
* SAMPLE = small group of the population that we actually collect data from. Use this data to conclude about the population
• Read to middle of p. 11• Variables are the “WHAT” of the data- things
that were observed or collected.• Two types of variables:1.Categorical: variable that names categories
(words or numeric)2.Quantitative: variable with numeric values,
makes sense to take an average (must have units)
- Examples: Colleges/Universities
