Respond to two peers later. Week 6 Readings Week 6 ReadingsRead the Week 6 overview carefully. What is the difference between categorical, ordinal and interval variablesDifferent types of data measure things (items/cases) differently. In order to know which of the different statistical procedures to use to determine if two variables are related requires knowledge of how the two variables are measured. This brief article explains the differences in variable types. Types of VariablesThis brief article introduces a second dimension of variables; basically, what is the role of a specific variable in the cause/effect proposition. That is, which is the ‘causing’ variable and which is the ‘effect’? Descriptive and Inferential StatisticsThis article describes the basic difference between analyses that assess variables one at a time (univariate or descriptive analyses) and those that assess the relationships among variables (bi- or multivariate … inferential analyses). While both are useful, it is inferential analyses that can assist us in assessing cause-and-effect. We know that United Kingdom voted to leave European Union in 2016 according to Brexit. Following negotiations UK and EU agree to sign a deal to align themselves in a way which would promote rebuilding, future growth, and stability. UK is subjected to loose global connection with European countries impacting the trade deals. As you read through the information about Brexit: What you need to know about the UK leaving the EU on the BBC's website, discuss what changes are made in Brexit deal. Then discuss what the predictions were made about the freedom of movement and trade over the borders after this Brexit deal and what actually is happening currently Tests of Relationships Between Variables Tests of Relationships Between Variables - Alternative FormatsThis article describes the important tests used to statistically establish whether one variable has an impact on another. As you might guess from the previous readings, the particular test will be determined by the nature of both the independent and dependent variables. P-Value DefinitionAs mentioned in the previous article, the P-value or ‘significance’ is used to determine how strong a claim is that one variable actually influences another. This brief article gives further clarification of the concept, as well as a useful example. (Some) Statistics for Managers Who Think They Hate StatisticsThis presentation provides a fairly in-depth exploration of the statistics that managers use. While you will not be quizzed or tested on this material, business administrators are expected to have a basic understanding of these concepts (in order to make effective decisions).
