Data Collection Pre-Assessment Guide

The document provides a pre-assessment for a lesson on statistical analysis. It includes 5 multiple choice questions that assess understanding of key concepts like data collection methods, experimental design, and interpreting frequency distributions. It also includes an evaluation section that asks students to analyze emergency room waiting time data by arranging it, constructing a frequency distribution and histogram, and determining what percentage of patients waited less than a given time threshold based on the cumulative relative frequency polygon.

PRE-ASSESSMENT

Direction. Read the questions carefully. Encircle the letter that best
completes the statement.
_A___1. Why is good data collection important?
A. Because inaccurate data collection can alter the results of the
research and even lead to invalid results.
B. Because retrieving good data will eliminate the need to use a
scientific research method.
C. Because good data collection always reduces the amount of time needed
for analysis.
D. Because retrieving good data will eliminate the need to conduct a
statistical analysis.
__D__2. Why is experimental data collection a favorable method?
A. Because it only requires reviewing existing data.
B. Because this usually consists of interviews, and it is easy to find
people who want to participate.
C. Because it takes the least amount of time and is inexpensive.
D. Because experimental data collection typically produces the most valid
data.
__D__3. All of the following statements are true about secondary data
collection, EXCEPT:
A. It is often used to develop a framework for a research project.
B. It is also called data mining
C. It is derived from existing sources.
D. It involves collecting new data.
__D__4. Which one is not a form of collecting data?
A. Observations
B. Interviews
C. Records
D. These are all forms of collecting data.
_C___5. Watching something or someone is a form of what method of data
collection?
A. Interviews
B. Measurements
C. Observations
D. Surveys
EVALUATION
Direction. Read the questions below. Write your answer on a whole sheet of paper.
Consider the problem below and do as ask.
The administrator of a hospital has ordered a study of the amount of time a patient must
wait before being treated by emergency room personnel. The

following data were collected during a typical day:


WAITING TIME (MINUTES)
12 16 21 20 24 3 11 17 29 18
26 4 7 14 25 2 26 15 16 6

a) Arrange the data in an array from lowest to highest. What comment can you make about
patient waiting time from your data array?

I reasonably conclude or infer that the shortest waiting time is 2 minutes, and the
longest waiting time is 29 minutes.
b) Construct a frequency distribution using 6 classes. What additional interpretation
can you give to the data from the frequency distribution.

c) Construct the histogram and the cumulative relative frequency polygon (ogive)
and from this ogive state how long 75% of the patients should expect to wait
II. Identify the letter of the choice that best completes the
statement or answers the
question.
The following data show the number of hours worked by 200 statistics
students.
Number of Hours Frequency
0 - 9 40
10 - 19 50
20 - 29 70
30 - 39 40

B 1. The interval size for this distribution


A. is 9 C. is 11
B. is 10 D. varies from class to class

B 2. The number of students working 19 hours or less


A. is 40
B. is 50
C. is 90
D. can not be determined without the original data

A 3. The relative frequency of students working 9 hours or less


A. is .2
B. is .45
C. is 40
D. can not be determined from the information given

A4. The cumulative relative frequency for the class of 10 – 19


A. is 90
B. is .25
C. is .45
D. can not be determined from the information given

C 5. The difference between the largest and the smallest data values
is the
A. Variance
B. Interquartile range
C. Range
D. Coefficient of variation
