Measures of variability

After studying the frequency distribution of respondents, you, as a researcher, want to analyze the survey some more. Remember, the survey, dietary_habits asked participants their age group, Age, gender, Gender, how many meals they had in a day, meals_per_day, and how many times a week they ordered in or ate out, eat_out_per_wk.

In this exercise, you will calculate the variability for each category in the survey data.

What is survey data, and how do we determine which statistical test to use to analyze the data? To answer this, you’ll be able to define all sorts of survey data types, encounter important concepts like descriptive and inferential statistics, and visualize survey data to determine the appropriate statistical modeling technique needed. In doing so, you will know how to best qualitatively and quantitatively define the trends and insights you come across in surveys.

Exercise 1: Introducing Survey Data Analysis Exercise 2: Looking at levels of measurements Exercise 3: Crosstabulation Exercise 4: Descriptive and Inferential Statistics Exercise 5: Descriptive statistics Exercise 6: Inferential statistics Exercise 7: Statistical Modeling Techniques Exercise 8: Scatter plot inspection Exercise 9: Choose a statistical method Exercise 10: Sampling technique match

In this chapter, you’ll learn the different ways of creating sample survey data out of population survey data by analyzing the parameters by which the survey data was taken.

Exercise 1: Random sampling Exercise 2: Random sample of employees Exercise 3: Reproducible random sampling Exercise 4: Stratified Random Sampling Exercise 5: Spread of yes's and no's Exercise 6: Stratified sampling Exercise 7: Weighted sampling Exercise 8: Blog survey Exercise 9: Weighted sampling on handedness Exercise 10: Cluster Sampling Exercise 11: Group clusters Exercise 12: Choosing clusters Exercise 13: Cluster sampling analysis

Now it’s time to understand the difference between descriptive and inferential statistics concerning survey data analysis with some real-life examples. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll further interpret the meaning of different variables, key measures such as central tendency and zscore, and interpret results for actionable steps.

Last but not least, it’s time to apply statistical modeling to survey data analysis with regression analysis, the two-sample t-test, chi-square test, and interpret the assumptions associated with these tests.
