1

Frequency table (Relative Frequency table)

lists the categories in a categorical variable and gives the count (or percentage) of observations for each category

New cards
2

Distribution

gives
1) The possible values of the variable, and
2) The relative frequency of each value

New cards
3

Area Principle

In a statistical display, each data value should be represented by the same amount of area

New cards
4

Bar chart (Relative Frequency Bar chart)

show a bar whose area represents the count (or percentage) of observations for each category of a categorical variable

New cards
5

Categorical data condition

The methods in this chapter are appropriate for displaying and describing categorical data. Be careful not to use them with quantitative data

New cards
6

Contingency table

displays counts and, sometimes, percentages of individuals falling into categories on two or more variables. The table categorizes the individuals on all variables at once to reveal possible patterns in one variable that may depend on the category of the other

New cards
7

Marginal distribution

In a contingency table, the distribution of either variable alone is called the ______________________________. The counts or percentages are the totals found in the margins (last row or column) of the table

New cards
8

Conditional distribution

A ____________________________________ restricts the WHO to consider only a smaller group of individuals

New cards
9

Independence

Variables are said to be independent if the conditional distribution of one variable is roughly the same for each category of the other

New cards
10

Association

When we see evidence that one variable depends on another, we say there's an association between them

New cards
11

Pie Chart

_________________ show how a "whole" divides into categories by showing a wedge of a circle whose area corresponds to the proportion in each category.

New cards
13

Data table

An arrangement of data in which each row represents a case and each column represents a variable.

New cards
14

Cases

An individual (People, places, and things) whom or which we have data.

New cards
15

Variables (What, Columns)

Characteristics about each "who"

New cards
16

Population

All cases of interest

New cards
17

Sample

Smaller collection of cases of interest. The cases we actually examine in seeking yo understand the much larger population.

New cards
18

Data

Systematically recorded information, whether numbers or labels, together with its context.

New cards
19

Categorical variable

Names categories with words or numerals.

New cards
20

Quantitative variables

Recorded and used as numbers. These always have units.

New cards
21

Units

after the number that measures examples of these are: cm. in.
