Compound Probability |
: |
The probability of the occurrence of two events. |
Co-variance |
: |
It is the square of the standard deviations. |
Cumulative frequency |
: |
The total frequency of all values less than or equal to the upper class boundary of a given class - interval and vice-versa. |
Data |
: |
The numerical information collected of variables. |
Degree of freedom |
: |
The number of classes to which the value can be assigned arbitrarily or at will without violating the restrictions and limitations placed on the numbers of independent constraints in a set of data. |
Dependent |
: |
Events whose occurrence or non-occurence doesn't affect the occurrence of the other event. |
Event Dependent Variable |
: |
variable which is cause or influence by another variable in a given phenomenon. |
Descriptive Statistics |
: |
The numerical data which describes phenomena. |
Directional Test |
: |
A test, used to compare two statistical values and predict that one is higher than the other or vice-versa. |
Discrete Variable |
: |
A variable not capable of assuming all values in a given range or a variable which can be measured only by means of whole numbers. |
Disjoint Occurrence |
: |
Two outcomes which doesn't happen simultaneously or which have nothing in common. |
Distribution |
: |
Collection of measurements expressing how scores tend to spread over a measurement scale |
Dispersion |
: |
The scatter or variability of the data about a given Central tendency. |
Frequency |
: |
A diagram which displays the number of measures falling into different Histogram classes. |
Frequency polygon |
: |
It is a graphic display in which frequencies are plotted against mid-points of the class-intervals & the points thus obtained, are join by a line segment. |
Fiducial limits |
: |
The confidence limits are also known as Fiducial limits [See Confidence intervals] |
Favorable Events |
: |
The trials, which entail the happening of an event, are favorable to the event. |
