APPLIED HEALTHCARE C784 MODULE 5 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS A+ GRADED
Response variable
The variable that is obtained as a result, or the response that gets measured or
observed. Also called a dependent variable.
Conditional percentages
A way to approximate a percentage by dividing the number of times an event occurred
in an experiment by the total number of respondents in that row or column. See relative
frequency.
Scatterplot
A graph that uses dots on a coordinate plane to show the relationship between two
quantitative variables
Five number summary
The minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and the maximum. A box plot
represents the five numbers and a five number summary.
Marginal frequencies
The totals of each row and column in a table; given this name because they are in the
margins of the table
Positive correlation
When two quantitative variables move in the same direction; the response variable
increases when the explanatory variable increases
Dependent variable
The variable that is obtain aimed as a result, or is the response that gets measured or
observed. Also called a response variable.
Two way frequency table
A table that contains frequency counts for two categorical variables. [See also
contingency table]
Coordinate plane
A tool used for graphing that is a display of a two-dimensional plane. It consists of an x-
axis and a y-axis; the x-axis being a horizontal number line, the y-axis is a vertical
number line, and the axes meet at the origin (0, 0).
Non-linear
An expression or equation that is illustrated by something other than a straight line.
Independent variable
The variable that may be the cause of some result, or is presented as variable that
offers an explanation. Also called explanatory variable.
Correlation
An observed relationship between two quantitative variables. While this is most
commonly a linear relationship, it does not need to be.
Cluster
Several points are grouped together away from the majority appoints and a data set
Box plot
