15 You are looking to see if “class standing” affects
Homework review You are looking to see if “class standing” affects the “level of sales”. Class standing Independent variable (IV):______________ Number of levels of IV: ________________ (how many means?) Quasi or True experiment:______________ Dependent variable: __________________ Between or within participant design: ______________ In this study, what is the operational definition of “class standing”? In this study, what is the operational definition of “level of sales”? 4 Quasi Level of sales Between Classification based on units earned Number of bags of peanuts sold

16 You are looking to see whether “type of program”
Homework review You are looking to see whether “type of program” has an effect on “body transformation”. Please identify the following variables: Independent variable (IV):______________ Number of levels of IV: _______________ (how many means?) Quasi or True experiment:______________ Dependent variable: __________________ Between or within participant design: ______________ What is the operational definition of “type of program”? What is the operational definition of “body transformation”?   Type of program 2 True Body transformation Between Type of program = type of diet (regular versus programmatic diet) Body transformation = number of pounds lost

17 You are looking to see which driving choice is most
Homework review You are looking to see which driving choice is most efficient. So you ask each driver to drive each of the three routes and time themselves on how long it takes. Please identify the following variables: Independent variable (IV):______________ (how many means) Number of levels of IV: ________________ Dependent variable: __________________ Between or within participant design: ______________ What is the operational definition of “driving efficiency”? What is the operational definition of “driving choice”? Type of route 3 driving efficiency Within Driving efficiency = travel time (measured in minutes) Driving choice = route taken

Scores on an exam Generate frequency polygon Plot midpoint of histogram intervals Connect the midpoints Scores on an exam Score Frequency 80 – 84 5 Score on exam 6 5 4 3 2 1

29 Generate frequency ogive (“oh-jive”)
Scores on an exam Generate frequency ogive (“oh-jive”) Frequency ogive is used for cumulative data Plot midpoint of histogram intervals Connect the midpoints Scores on an exam Score 95 – 99 80 – 84 Score on exam 30 25 20 15 10 5 Cumulative Frequency 28 26 23 18 13 9 6 5 2 1

30 Pareto Chart: Categories are displayed in descending order of frequency

31 Stacked Bar Chart: Bar Height is the sum of several subtotals

32 Simple Line Charts: Often used for time series data (continuous data)
Simple Line Charts: Often used for time series data (continuous data) (the space between data points implies a continuous flow) Note: For multiple variables lines can be better than bar graph Note: Fewer grid lines can be more effective Note: Can use a two-scale chart with caution

33 Pie Charts: General idea of data that must sum to a total (these are problematic and overly used – use with much caution) Exploded 3-D pie charts look cool but a simple 2-D chart may be more clear Exploded 3-D pie charts look cool but a simple 2-D chart may be more clear Bar Charts can often be more effective

34 Overview Frequency distributions
The normal curve Challenge yourself as we work through characteristics of distributions to try to categorize each concept as a measure of 1) central tendency 2) dispersion or 3) shape Mean, Median, Mode, Trimmed Mean Standard deviation, Variance, Range Mean Absolute Deviation Skewed right, skewed left unimodal, bimodal, symmetric
