Notes on page 331-351

There are 2 main types of sampling
  • Spatial sampling
  • Temporal sampling.
Spatial sampling
  • The samples that had many possible chance about where they can from.
Temporal sampling
  • The samples that are discovered in different period of time.
Random sampling
  • The sample that being pick by random set of numbers
Systematic sampling
  • The way to pick sample a more faster and easy way, choose by the same time.
Stratified Sample
  • Dividing items into groups and sampling random items from each group.
Sample Size
  • Selecting appropriate samples. It depends on nature, aims of the investigation, and time available.Mean or average
Descriptive statistics
  • There are many types of descriptive statistics:Maximum, minimum and range between them(Maximum-minimum)
    Mode: a group or class that occurs most often.
    Median: middle value when numbers are in ascending and descending order. (add up all numbers and divided by the amount of numbers)
  • Three different types of data
    Nominal data: Objects that have names.
    Ordinary or ranked data: Place in ascending and descending order.
    Interval or ratio data to real numbers: Interval data has no true zero except for temperature. Ratio data has a true zero such as rainfall.
Sampling error or standard error
  • When the the result actually near the true result or not.
Confidence limits
  • The idea based that people assume that date sample had a normal joining/grouping.
Clustered
  • Being close and in order together.
Bar charts
  • Using multi colors bars to compare something
Pie charts
  • a circle chat that is good to dividing sections into separate sections.
Standard deviation
  •  A measure of the processing of a set of data from its mean.
Dispersion diagrams
  • Imagined a gram upward line with dots and like the temperature monitor.
Kite diagram
          Lines graph that with points it can be drawn as a kite and many other shape shapes.
