    • What are the two main types of data in psychology?
      Qualitative and quantitative
    • Qualitative data includes non-numerical information such as descriptions, categories, or labels
    • Quantitative data involves numerical values that can be measured or counted.
    • What is discrete data characterized by?
      Countable values with finite intervals
    • Continuous data can take on any value within a continuous range
    • What is an example of qualitative data?
      Eye color
    • Age is an example of quantitative data.
    • What is an example of discrete data?
      Number of students
    • Weight is an example of continuous
    • Match the data presentation method with its best use case:
      1️⃣ Tables
      2️⃣ Organizing and comparing data
      3️⃣ Comparing categories of discrete data
      4️⃣ Displaying frequency distribution of continuous data
      5️⃣ Showing trends over time
      6️⃣ Visualizing relationships between continuous variables
    • What is the primary purpose of a table in data presentation?
      Organize and present data
    • The key components of a table include headings, rows, and columns
    • Effective tables use clear headings to represent data categories.
    • What is an example of discrete quantitative data?
      Number of correct responses
    • Line graphs are effective for showing trends over time
    • Scatter plots are used to visualize correlations between continuous variables.
    • What is the main function of a table in data organization?
      Facilitate easy comparison
    • The key components of a table include headings, rows, and columns
    • Tables are best used for organizing and comparing data
    • Bar graphs are suitable for comparing categories of discrete data.
    • What type of graph is used to display the frequency distribution of continuous data?
      Histogram
    • Line graphs are ideal for showing trends over time
    • Scatter plots are used to visualize relationships between continuous variables.
    • Arrange the key components of a table in their typical order:
      1️⃣ Headings
      2️⃣ Rows
      3️⃣ Columns
    • Graphs and charts are powerful tools for visualizing data
    • What type of data do bar graphs compare?
      Discrete data
    • Histograms are used to display the frequency distribution of continuous data.
    • Which type of graph shows relationships between continuous variables?
      Line graph
    • Scatter plots visualize the correlation between two continuous variables
    • Give an example of when a bar graph would be used.
      Comparing categories
    • A histogram is suitable for displaying student test scores.
    • Which graph type is best for showing changes in exam scores over months?
      Line graph
    • The equation for a linear relationship in a scatter plot is y = mx + c</latex>, where mm is the slope and cc is the y-intercept
    • What are the essential components of a complete graph label?
      Title, axis labels, legend, caption
    • What type of graph is used to compare discrete data categories?
      Bar Graphs
    • What type of graph displays the frequency distribution of continuous data?
      Histograms
    • What type of graph is used to show trends over time?
      Line Graphs
    • What type of graph visualizes relationships between continuous variables?
      Scatter Plots
    • Bar graphs are best used for comparing discrete categories.
    • Scatter plots can illustrate the relationship between study hours and exam scores.
