To quantify an observation, it is necessary to identify its scale of Score distribution when we arrange the scores from highest to

Nominal Scale. It concerns with categorical data. It simply means Mean ( x∨X ). Most widely used measure of the central tendency. It

Interval Scale: It deals with measurement data. In the nominal

Median is the point that separates the upper half from the lower half
of the distribution. It is the middle point or midpoint of any
distribution. Arranging scores to form a distribution means listing
them sequentially either highest to lowest or lowest to highest
MEASURES OF VARIABILITY
There are three measures of variability: the range, the standard CORRELATION BETWEEN HOURS OF STUDY AND GRADES OF
deviation and the variance. STUDENTS
Range. The range, symbolized by R, describes the variability of scores
by merely providing the width of the entire distribution.
LOGIC STATEMENTS
statement is a declarative sentence that is either true or false, but
not both true and false.
simple statement is a statement that conveys a single idea.
compound is a statement that conveys two or more ideas.
NOTATIONS
Truth Value of the Biconditional (if and only if ) Both true is true,
both false is true, if is false and true it is false.
