1. A relative measure of dispersion 2. Adjusts for differences in magnitudes of the means. 3. Does not have units of measure 4. Allows for direct comparisons of mean-adjusted dispersion across different data sets.

Percentiles and quartiles

Coefficient of determination
The proportion of variation in the dependent variable ”explained” by the independent variable.

因變量的變化的比例“解釋”的獨立變量。
(Correlation coefficient)^2=r^2
R=0.90
(0.90)^2=0.81

Ex. Monthly income how much u spend on grocery, coefficient of determination
81%of your grocery billi being
19:% is not being explained(for reason we don’t know)
Maybe holiday month, having food, people….etc
Unexplained situation

CV fund 1 S/x=1.51
CV fund 2 S/x=1.30
Conclusion: Fund1 has greater relative dispersion than fund2

Slope rise/run, y/x
B1=2.25 2.25/1 = y/x
Every 1 unit 2.25 cents

B1=0.3 0.3/1=y/x
Slope intercept b0=9.5

Data collection 1) Simple random sampling everyone has equal chance) 2) Stratified random sample (is supposed to be the most precise sampling, it doesn’t always work that way)
Ex. 2008 election year, elected Obama, stratified sample it picked Obama as the winner, Hilary Clinton 3%, ex. 4 men 4 women how? Divide take random sample

a cluster sample (save you money when u got large group to do it)
Ex. Government use randomly select some zip code randomly selec out of my zip code from this to that will do simple random sample convenient sample

    *Modern voting studies rely heavily on survey research. Most important in conducting a survey is the way in which the sample is selected. The best scientific sampling procedures give everyone in the population an equal probability of being part of the sample. Probability theory can then be used to estimate how close results for the sample are to those for the population of interest.…

    Probability sampling, also known as random sampling, requires that every member of the study population have an equal opportunity to be chosen as a study subject. For each member of the population to have an equal opportunity to be chosen, the sampling method must select members randomly. Probability sampling allows every facet of the study population to be represented without researcher bias. Four common sampling designs have been developed for selection of a random sample: simple random sampling, stratified random sampling, cluster sampling, and systematic sampling (Burns & Grove, 2007). Simple random sampling is achieved by random selection of members from the sampling frame. The random selection can be accomplished many different ways, but the most common is using a computer program to randomly select the sample. Another example would be to assign each potential subject a number, and then randomly select numbers from a random numbers table to fulfill the required number of subjects for the sample. Stratified random sampling is used when the researcher knows some of the variables within a population that will affect the representativeness of the sample. Some examples of variables include age, gender, ethnicity, and medical diagnosis. Thus, subjects are selected randomly on the basis of their classification into the selected stratum. The strata ensure that all levels of the variable(s) are represented in the sample. For example, age could be the variable, and after stratification, the sample might include equal numbers of subjects in the established age ranges of 20–39, 40–59, 60–79, and over 80. Researchers use cluster sampling in two different situations: (1) when the time and travel necessary to use simple random sampling would be prohibitive, and (2) when the specific elements of a population are…

    In the last presidential election in the United States, there have been many misconstrued statistical data in the polls leading up to election day that give a false reflection of American public.

In many instances, people who were polled willingly set out to give false information of their intention, some people refused to reveal…
