How is it that business researchers can justify treating a seven point Likert scale as interval?
Business researchers often justify treating a seven-point Likert scale as interval data because the scale provides an ordered range of responses that are equidistant, allowing for meaningful mathematical operations. They assume that the differences between scale points represent equal intervals of the underlying variable being measured, facilitating the use of parametric statistical techniques. While strictly speaking, Likert scales are ordinal, the interval treatment is common in practice due to its practical utility in analyzing survey data. This justification is further supported by the central limit theorem, which allows for the approximation of distributions under certain conditions, making parametric tests applicable.
Are data that was collected for another purpose and was already collected?
Data that is collected may have been collected previously for some reason, or it might have been collected recently. Data is usually collected to show statistics or information about something specific.
What will you do with your data when it is collected?
The collected data is organized in a fashion so you can determine if the hypothesis is supported.
When should you use a line graph to explain collected data?
Line graphs are often more clear to analyze, and are used for continuous data. bar graphs are used for just a certain amount of results, ones that don't continue.
What is definition of statistic?
The definition of statistics is the science of conducting studies to collect, organize, summarize, analyze and draw conclusions from data.
Is likert scale qualitative or quantitative?
Quantitative
Is a Likert scale quantitative or qualitative?
A Likert scale is considered a quantitative measurement tool because it assigns numerical values to responses and allows for numerical analysis of data.
What is after a experiment in science?
The next step in the scientific method is to analyze the data you collected.
How to analyze data ccollected using a likert scale?
it depends what you researching? what are your hypotheses and how are you going to treat your variables (ordinal, continous)? what scale are u using? 3, 5, 7 or more?in one case the analysis is a bit limited on the other hand there are many choices like Pearsons linear Gronbachs alpha and so on
What type of data would the total score in a likert scale be?
That depends upon whom you ask, as there is some degree of controversy around Likert scales. Many people, myself included, would consider it interval data, and it is usually interpreted that way. However, there is another school of thought that says that Likert data is ordinal at best. Both sides of the debate have valid points, and this question hasn't been settled.
Why do scientist analyze their data?
Analyzing data helps scientists explain their observations and their explanations are based on the evidence they collected.
How do you analyzes a likert scale questionnaire?
To analyze a Likert scale questionnaire, first, you quantify the responses by assigning numerical values to each scale point (e.g., 1 for "Strongly Disagree" to 5 for "Strongly Agree"). Next, calculate descriptive statistics such as means, medians, and standard deviations to summarize the data. You can also conduct inferential statistics, like t-tests or ANOVA, to compare groups or correlations to explore relationships between items. Finally, visualize the results using graphs or charts to help interpret and present the findings clearly.
The info collected during an experiment is called?
The information collected during an experiment is called data. This data is used to analyze the results of the experiment and draw conclusions based on the findings.
What term describes the data collected during an experiment?
The term that describes the data collected during an experiment is "experimental data". This data is gathered through observations, measurements, and other methods during the experimental process to analyze and draw conclusions.
As likert scale are ordinal data can I obtain mean and SD from them?
If you are considering a single ordinal variable, determining the mode or median would be meaningful, but the mean or SD would not. Many researchers do consider likert-scale data to possess only ordinal qualities. However, leading research studies, for example in the marketing area, obtain measures such as means and standard deviations from likert-scale data. Indeed leading textbooks also follow this approach. One concern has been that the 'distances' between points on a likert scale are not equal, for example the 'distance' or 'difference' between a strongly disagree and disagree is not the same as the difference between disagree and neutral. A recent study discusses these issues, as well as demonstrating that data obtained from 5-point, 7-point and 10-point likert scales are approximately comparable in terms of mean score (once re-scaled) and various measures of variation and data shape.

An Experiment using 5-point, 7-point and 10-point Scales" International Journal of Market Research, Vol 50 2008.
What is the Data that is collected during experiment is called?
The data collected during an experiment is called experimental data. It consists of observations, measurements, or information gathered during the experimental process to analyze and draw conclusions.
What are three tools used to analyze data?
Thermometer, Spring Scale, and a Balance Scale ;-) Math Homework... Suckie! :P
