Overview
As you have seen in several examples in class, we can understand a lot about a data set based on the information given to us in a study about the central tendency and variation of a data set.
Describe the use of the following statistical terms in analyzing and interpreting a data set:
- Mean
- Standard Deviation
- Z Scores
- Correlation
For example, suppose someone told you that you had a data set with multiple variables and gave you each variable's mean and standard deviation. How would you describe this data set using the knowledge you have learned in Modules 1 and 2? It is recommended that you make your initial post of at least 200 words by the fourth day of the module week. You must respond to at least two of your classmates' posts with substantive posts by the last day of the module week.
