Analyzing data

Comparing two datasets on a phenomenon using frequency tables and graphs; identifying variables that influence the phenomenon
Examining a hypothesis by comparing data from two groups of respondents; Histograms, quartiles, standard deviations
Analyzing Canadian data on recycling and household environmental responsibility
Analyzing a time-use dataset
The effect of hidden variables on the analysis of different hypotheses; Outliers, maximum & minimum values, range, average, significant difference, contingency table, population, frequencies, anthropometric variable
Investigating a hypothesis
Measures of central tendency; Frequency tables and graphs; Extrapolations

Exploring relationships between variables

Scatter plots and lines of best fit; plotted manually
Scatter plots and lines of best fit created manually, then using technology; Line of best fit; median-median line method; Least squares regression method
Modelling data with linear functions using analytical software
How controlled variables and size of the sample affect whether or not a relationship exists between two variables

Sampling

1. Variations in samples

  • Sample, population, mean, standard deviation, standard error of the mean
  • Histograms and frequency polygons
  • sample sizes

2. Confidence intervals
