Across
  1. 2. The middle score of distribution.
  2. 5. Applies to data that can be arranged in order. However, differences between data values either cannot be determined or are meaningless.
  3. 7. A distribution is not symmetric, not mirror images of each other.
  4. 8. Has a value or numerical measurement for which operations such as addition or averaging makes sense.
  5. 9. Describes an individual by placing the individual into a category or group, such as male or female.
  6. 10. Applies to data that can be arranged in order. In addition differences between data values are meaningful.
  7. 12. A simulated treatment for a condition/study intended to deceive the recipient.
  8. 15. A graph that shows quantitative numbers where the bar touches.
  9. 17. measurements or observations from a representative part of the population should be used.
  10. 18. Most frequently occurring number.
  11. 20. The data are from every individual of interest.
  12. 23. In this method it is assumed that all the elements of the population are arranged in some natural sequential order. Then we select a starting point and select every kth element for our sample.
  13. 24. The set of all measurements of interest to the sample collector.
  14. 27. The people or objects included in the study.
  15. 28. A method used extensively by government agencies and certain private research organizations. We begin by dividing the demographic area into section.
  16. 29. applies to data that consists of names, labels, or categories.
  17. 30. measurements or observations from the entire population are used.
  18. 31. Involves methods of using information from a sample to draw conclusions regarding the population.
Down
  1. 1. Involves methods of organizing. Picturing and summarizing information from samples or populations.
  2. 3. A treatment is deliberately imposed on the individuals in order to observe a possible change in the response.
  3. 4. Used to account for the influence of other known or unknown variables that might be an underlying cause of a change in response in the experimental group.
  4. 6. Observations and measurements of individuals are conducted in a way that doesn't change the response or the variable being measured.
  5. 11. Groups or classes inside a population that share a common characteristic are called strata.
  6. 13. Uses results or data that are conveniently and readily obtained. In some cases it might be all there is available and in many cases it is better than no info at all.
  7. 14. Applies to data that can be arranged in order. In addition, both differences between data values and ratios of data values are meaningful.
  8. 16. The average of a set of data.
  9. 19. Graph of the two quantitative variables measured on the same individuals.
  10. 21. The data are from every individual of interest.
  11. 22. The process of providing mathematical imitations of "real" phenomena.
  12. 25. A characteristic of the individual to be measured or observed.
  13. 26. The study of how to collect, analyze, and interpret numerical information from data.
