OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I can't remember how to do this...

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Is there a logical order to this?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I would think least to greatest

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Ok, list them in that order.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

so 96,214,368, then 572?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

or do I do it by category name?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Do it by category name.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Ok. Do I add them up as my N?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

A=never, B= rarely,C= occasionally, and D=all the time A+B+C+D=N

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

So does N equal frequencies or internet usage?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Or is that answer just the 1247?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

N is the denominator in each of the fractions you use to calculate f.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Ok so do I do 96/1247?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

yes

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Ok so the first one is 7.7% right?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

yes

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Ok do I have to add them up and put it at the bottom?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I got 7.7%, 17%, 46%, 29.27%

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

yes

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

99.97%?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

close enough to 100%

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Ok so what is my level of measuremenT?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I'm not sure what that means @skullpatrol

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Neither am I...Can you look up what "the level of measurement" means somewhere in your book?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

there are four levels of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio. Different levels of measurement call for different statistical techniques.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

I would say you used "ratio"

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Why ratio?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Because that is what a percent is.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

ah ok thank you

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Thanks for asking :-)

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

What happens if I go over 100% like 101%

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

then you made a rounding error

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

shoot

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Can you double check me? I did it twice

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

use more decimal places on your numbers, say 2 places

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

would I still have to round the second to 27 though if its 26.5

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

no, use 26.53

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

only round the hunderedths place

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

18 is really 17.75

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

17.75 is good

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Thanks :)
