Across
- 1. a subset of the population
- 5. measurement of a variable in which the numbers indicating a variable's values represent fixed measuring units and an absolute zero point
- 6. every nth member of the population is selected
- 8. divide the population into sections and then randomly select a few of those sections, then choose all the members of those sections
- 9. the collection of data from every member of the population
- 12. data that consists of names, labels, or categories
- 13. the science of collecting, organising, analysing, and interpreting data to make decisions
- 14. random sample a sample that every possible sample of the same size has the same chance of being selected
- 17. choosing individuals who are easiest to reach
- 19. a method of data collection that has participants answer a series of questions
- 20. a research method that requires use of a treatment and then observes its effects on the subjects
- 21. classifies data into categories that can be ranked; however, precise differences between the ranks do not exist
- 23. information that describes qualities or characteristics
Down
- 1. divide the population into at least two sub-populations that share the same characteristic, and then draw a sample from each group
- 2. the collection of all outcomes, responses, measurements, or counts that are of interest
- 3. numerical data
- 4. the branch of statistics that draws conclusions about a population from sample data
- 7. the branch of statistics that involves the organisation, summarisation, and display of data
- 10. characteristic of a sample
- 11. a count or measure of part of a population
- 13. a mathematical or physical model to reproduce conditions of a situation or process
- 15. a characteristic of a population
- 16. sample a sample that fairly represents a population because each member has an equal chance of inclusion
- 18. measurement of a variable in which the numbers indicating a variable's values represent fixed measurement units but have no absolute, or fixed, zero point
- 22. facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis
