Discussion on data

Saturday, 30 May 2020, 5:00 PM

Discuss the difference in a sample and a population. List the levels of data and give an example of a data item that would fit each. Note that in the video lecture we list more levels of data than the author did in the text. So, don't just go copy out of the text without looking at the lecture. Do not list the examples I used in the video. Find your own. This is in the participation category. The only wrong answer is not making an honest attempt. This is due by monday of the next week( June 17).
