STAT 101A: STATISTICAL ANALYSIS WITH SOFTWARE APPLICATION

Quiz # 3: Tabular and Graphical Representation of Data

Direction: Write True if the statement is true and write False if the statement is false. (1
point each)

_____________1. Qualitative data collection results in non-standardized data requiring

classification into categories.
_____________2. In regard to sampling procedures, if a researcher wants to be able to
generalize results to the total population of interest, then a purposive
sampling technique is not the best approach.
_____________3. A pie chart is not probably the best method to depict the data in
either
of the summary tables on SARS cases in China.
_____________4. Probability sampling techniques should be chosen over non-
probability sampling techniques because they are faster, cost less,
and a more practical.
_____________5. A cluster sample differs from a stratified sample in that the
subdivisions are by location or relation or time period rather than by
other characteristics, and each cluster is representative of the
population.
_____________6. Asking students eating at a campus cafeteria about what they
thought of the food would be a thorough way of determining how
students on campus feel about the cafeteria food.
_____________7. When soliciting opinions through a survey of randomly selected
individuals from a population, constructing meaningful surveys is a
complicated task.
_____________8. A small city wants to survey residents about the appearance and
usability of its parks. The city administrator mails surveys to a random
sample of residents, in which the names and addresses were obtained
from the billing records of the city water department. This is a sound
and ethical approach to conducting the survey.
_____________9. Nonprobability sampling occurs when a researcher's goal is to study
a specific sample of interest and be more concerned about making
generalizations to the total population.
_____________10. One advantage of the stem-and-leaf display over histograms is that
it maintains the original values for further analysis.
