Simple Random Convenience Systematic Stratified Quota: 6A - Sampling
- simple random: every possible sample has equal chance of being chosen
- convenience: respondents are chosen based on their availability
- systematic: participants are taken at regular intervals
- stratified: participants split into groups and then a random sample is chosen in same
proportion to each group
- quota: participants split into groups, and then a convenience sample is chosen until a
required number is reached
6B - Summarizing data
- mean: the average of all the data
- median: the middle value after arranging data in order
- mode: value that occurs the most often
- bimodal: two modes
- range: the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the data set
- lower quartile (Q1): the value one quarter of the way through the data
- upper quartile (Q3): the value three quarters of the way through the data
- interquartile range (IQR): difference between upper and lower quartiles
- IQR = Q3 - Q1
- standard deviation (σ): the measure of how spread out the data is from the mean
- variance (σ2): the square of the standard deviation
- outlier: values that are very high or low compared to the rest of the data
- x < Q1 - (1.5) IQR
- x > Q3 + (1.5) IQR

6C - Presenting Data
- histograms: a type of bar graph where the height of each bar represents the frequency of
each group
- cumulative frequency graph: a plot of cumulative frequency vs data values
- box and whisker: a way to display data through their quartiles
