Exam 9: Elementary and Intermediate Quantitative Data Analysis

Likert-type scales (strongly agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree) are interval level data.

__________ notes that the very nature and uniqueness of each qualitative study make it impossible to apply universal standards for qualitative research.

The following numbers are the exam results of 10 students: 70, 75, 75, 75, 80, 85, 95, 95, 100, 100 What is the range?

__________ represents the most common response.

Discrete data are inherently categorical.

With nominal level data, some basic statistical comparison and crosstabulation are possible.

__________ are variables that can have a nonspecific number of values.

Which of the following is an example of ordinal level data?

__________ are exhaustive and mutually exclusive data that have a rank order, but exact distance between attributes cannot be measured.

__________ is the use of mathematical techniques to analyze population characteristic through sampling strategies.

__________ are data that can be divided into mutually exclusive specific groups that have no numerical distinction.

The only difference between interval level data and ratio level data is the existence of equal distance among attributes.

Which of the following characteristics must interval level data have?

__________ data are not finite; therefore, they can be divided and broken down into smaller values such as 1.53.

Which of the following can determine the causality between variables?

__________ data are collected from categories; therefore, they have a set endpoint and are finite.

Range, variance, and standard deviation are measures of variability.

A person's __________ is not an example of continuous data?

Continuous data can be converted into discrete data, but discrete data cannot be converted into continuous data.

__________ is a philosophical approach that requires qualitative analyses to meet the same standards for quantitative research.
