Two-Variable Statistics

Analysis and Conclusions

Errors in analysis can occur for a variety of reasons, such as:

Too little data Using linear regression for a non-linear relationship Using linear regression when the correlation is weak Reversing the cause and effect relationship Not considering the effects of outliers

linear regression is when calculations are used to determine the equation of the line of best fit for a set of data.

The Line of Best Fit- part 1

Collect and Organize Data

Primary and Secondary data

Principles of proper surveying

Ethics in surveys Design for honest responses Eliminate bias

Types of questions can be used in a survey

Dichotomous(two part classification) Multiple choice(limited number of predefined answes) Rating scale(values on a scale) Completion(fill in the blank or answer with a single response) Open-Ended(respondent can answer freely)

Ten tips for effective questionnaire

State the purpose of the survey Provide instructions for answering the survey keep the questions short and clear Ask questions that are easily answered Ensure your questions are not biased If providing a list of possible answers, cover the entire range of answers but keep the list short Make sure your questionnaire flows Use plain english Avoid asking for personal information unless it is important to the study Test the survey

Bias-is an intentional or unintentional distortion of the data collected in a survey Response bias-occurs if respondents answer question in a way they think the questioner wants them to answer, rather than according to their true beliefs.
