Measurement and Description - chapters 1 and 2 1 The goal this week is to gain an understanding of our data set - what kind of data we are looking at, some d look at how the data is distributed (shape). Measurement issues. Data, even numerically coded variables, can be one of 4 levels nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio. It is important to identify which level a variable is, as this impact the kind of analysis we can do with the data. For example, descriptive statistics such as means can only be done on interval or ratio level data. Please list under each label, the variables in our data set that belong in each group. Nominal Ordinal Interval Ratio Age Compa Performance Raise Gender male / female Midpoint University Degree Grade b. For each variable that you did not call ratio, why did you make that decision? Ratio data is a percentage given to the data collected. Only when we measure the data as a percentage of would we list it in the Ratio column. 2 The first step in analyzing data sets is to find some summary descriptive statistics for key variables. For salary, compa, age, performance rating, and service; find the mean, standard deviation, and range for 3 You can use either the Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics tool or the Fx =average and =stdev functions. (the range must be found using the difference between the =max and =min functions with Fx) functions. Note: Place data to the right, if you use Descriptive statistics, place that to the right as well. Some of the values are completed for you - please finish the table. Salary Compa Age Perf. Rat.
