Data types and representation

Discrete. Continuous. Observations are a finite, countable, number of values. Observations can take on any number of the countless number of values in an interval. Data types and representation. Two types of data:. eg. Number of “sixes” after 3 throws of the dice.

  1. Discrete Continuous Observations are a finite, countable, number of values Observations can take on any number of the countless number of values in an interval Data types and representation Two types of data: eg. Number of “sixes” after 3 throws of the dice eg. The average IQ of ten random Heads of Department

  2. Data types and representation Types of measurements Nominal Objects are named and assigned to classes eg. male or female Ordinal Objects are either greater, or smaller than, a comparative object eg. finishing positions in a race Ratio level Basic standard interval exists + meaningful zero eg. mass Interval level Basic standard interval is introduced, but no true zero eg.temperature in celsius
