Nature of the data practice
The document discusses different types of data: - Scaled data provides exact amounts like miles per hour. - Ordinal or ranked data provides comparative amounts like 1st, 2nd, 3rd place. - Nominal data names or categorizes values like Republican or Democrat. - Nominal proportional data are percentages like 45% Republican, 55% Democrat. The key is determining what type of data is being influenced or is the "outcome" in questions being analyzed.

- 10. Determine the typeof data in each question that follows:
- 11. Does product Aor B have the highest profit margin in terms of $$? Scaled? Ordinal? Nominal Proportional?Nominal?
- 12. Does product Aor B have the highest profit margin in terms of $$? Scaled? Ordinal? Nominal Proportional?Nominal?
- 13. Does product Aor B have the highest profit margin in terms of $$? Scaled? Ordinal? Nominal Proportional?Nominal?
- 14. Does product Aor B have the highest profit margin in terms of $$? Scaled? Ordinal? Nominal Proportional?Nominal? Note – even though product A and B are categories and thus nominal, the focus is on what we call the outcome which in this case is $$.
- 15. Does product Aor B have the highest profit margin in terms of $$? Scaled data is data that gives you exact amounts. 80 Miles per hour 12.5 feet 60 degrees Scaled? Ordinal? Nominal Proportional?Nominal?

- 32. Important Note There aretwo types of inferential statistics: Parametric and non-parametric.
- 33. Important Note Parametric statisticsunder (the difference category) are those statistics that use scaled data. Because scaled data can use the mean in their calculations, parametric tests use the mean.
- 34. Important Note Non-Parametric statisticsunder the difference category are those statistics that use ordinal data or nominal proportional data (%) Because these data types cannot use the mean in their calculations, non-parametric tests use the median.
