Across
- 2. a branch of applied mathematics that involves the collection, description, analysis, and inference of conclusions from quantitative data
- 6. a graph summarising a set of data.
- 7. a small quantity or a subset of something larger
- 9. the process of drawing conclusions about a parameter one is seeking to measure or estimate
- 10. a simple form of data visualization that consists of data points plotted as dots on a graph with an x- and y-axis.
- 12. an outcome of a random experiment
- 13. the difference between the expected value and the real value of the parameter
- 14. is a discrete group of people, animals or things that can be identified by at least one common characteristic for the purposes of data collection and analysis
- 16. a subset of a statistical population in which each member of the subset has an equal probability of being chosen
- 18. describes a subject, and cannot be expressed as a number
- 19. A fallacious inference from a conditional
Down
- 1. a probability sampling method where researchers select members of the population at a regular interval
- 3. The researcher puts out a request for members of a population to join the sample, and people decide whether or not to be in the sample
- 4. a subset of a statistical population in which each member of the subset has an equal probability of being chosen
- 5. The researcher chooses a sample that is readily available in some non-random way.
- 8. if its expected value is equal to the true value of the parameter
- 11. data that can be counted or measured in numerical values.
- 15. a method of data collection used to gather information about people and their behaviors or opinions by asking them a list of questions
- 17. where the conclusion follows from the truth values of the premises
