Measurement Levels of Data. Next: Summarizing Categorical Data Up: Data Presentation Previous: Statistics and Data It is useful to distinguish between four levels of measurements for data, from weakest to strongest: 1.

Measurement Levels of Data

Nominal (no ordering) 2. Ordinal (ordering exists, but not distance) 3. Interval (distance exists, but not ratios) 4. Sex is a nominal variable, since `Male' and `Female' are just names of categories. A student's level of standing (freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior) is ordinal; they are also names of categories but, unlike sex, they are rank-ordered. GPA is an interval measurement; subtraction can be done and distances make sense. Finally, number of credit hours is a ratio measurement. It is useful to recognize a hierarchy of information in the sense that a measurement level contains an amount of information greater than or equal to the level below it. 40 MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS IN BASIC STATISTICS.

Elementary Statistics and Probability Tutorials and Problems. QELP Practice Data Page. One-Sample T-Test. It is perhaps easiest to demonstrate the ideas and methods of the one-sample t-test by working through an example.

One-Sample T-Test

To reiterate, the one-sample t-test compares the mean score of a sample to a known value, usually the population mean (the average for the outcome of some population of interest). The basic idea of the test is a comparison of the average of the sample (observed average) and the population (expected average), with an adjustment for the number of cases in the sample and the standard deviation of the average. Working through an example can help to highlight the issues involved and demonstrate how to conduct a t-test using actual data. Hand Calculation of ANOVA - Hand Calculation of ANOVA.pdf.
