In a set of observations which measure of central tendency reports the value that occurs most often?
The Mode
What are some synonyms of the term 'incidence'?
The noun 'incidence' has many synonyms. A few of them are: frequency, percentage, prevalence, proportion, tendency, commonness, trend and extent. The meaning of incidence is the rate or frequency of which something occurs.
What is a number that occurs most often in a data set called?
Oh honey, that's called the mode. It's the number that struts its stuff the most in a data set, like the popular kid at school. So next time you see a number hogging all the attention, just remember, that's the mode showing off.
What is the difference between total frequency or mean in central tendency and which one can best describe the statistics in research?
Total frequency describes how many times an event occurs. For example, between 1 and 2 pm on a certain date, the number of cars passing through a specific intersection was 389. On the other hand, the mean is an average measures describing the central tendency of an event. For example, The average number of cars passing through a specific intersection between 1 and 2 pm is 376. That means sometimes it is more than 376, sometimes it is less, but 376 is the mean or average figure. In statistical research the mean is widely used, usually accompanied by the standard deviation, which shows the amount of variation from the mean. A small standard deviation means that the mean is a fairly reliable estimate of the frequency of an event. A large standard deviation means that there can be a significant difference between the mean of an event and any one occurrence of it.
What is a pascal?
Pascal is a unit of pressure. The air pressure we feel at ground level is 1 atmosphere which is equivalent to 1.0135 x10^5 Pascals The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure. It is a measure of perpendicular force F per unit area A, i.e. equivalent to one newton per square meter or one joule per cubic meter. In everyday life, the pascal is perhaps best known from meteorological air-pressure reports, where it occurs in the form of kilopascal. 1 kPa = 1000 Pa.
