Measurement and Data Analysis for
Engineering and Science Solutions
Manual
What does FFB stand for in the context of measurements? - answers FFB refers to a
specific type of measurement or component, often followed by dimensions and
specifications, such as FFB42 or FFB1(230X460/988).
What is the significance of the notation 'C' followed by a number (e.g., C19, C18)? -
answers The 'C' notation likely indicates a specific category or section related to the
measurements or data being recorded.
What does a negative value indicate in the context of these measurements? - answers
Negative values, such as -2.15 or -0.78, may indicate a deficit, decrease, or a specific
condition that is below a reference point.
What does 'RO' signify in the measurements? - answers 'RO' likely denotes a specific
reference or operational parameter, as seen in entries like RO.2 and RO/32-.
What is the meaning of the term 'Floating Column' in this context? - answers 'Floating
Column' may refer to a measurement or structural element that is not fixed and can vary
in position or load.
What does the notation 'R' followed by a number (e.g., R2.09, R0.32) represent? -
answers The 'R' notation likely indicates a specific reference measurement or
parameter related to the data being recorded.
Statistics - answers science that deals with the collection, organization, presentation,
analysis, and interpretation of data in order to be able to draw judgments or conclusions
that help in the decision-making process.
Descriptive Statistics - answers deals with the procedures that organize, summarize and
describe quantitative data. It seeks merely to describe data.
Inferential Statistics - answers deals with making a judgment or a conclusion about a
population based on the findings from a sample that is taken from the population.
Population or Universe - answers refers to the totality of objects, persons, places, things
used in a particular study. All members of a particular group of objects (items) or people
(individual), etc. which are subjects or respondents of a study.
Sample - answers any subset of population or few members of a population.
, Data - answers facts, figures and information collected on some characteristics of a
population or sample. These can be classified as qualitative or quantitative data.
Ungrouped/Raw Data - answers data which are not organized in any specific way. They
are simply the collection of data as they are gathered.
Grouped Data - answers raw data organized into groups or categories with
corresponding frequencies.
frequency distribution - answers the data is referred to as
Parameter - answers the descriptive measure of a characteristic of a population.
Statistic - answers a measure of a characteristic of sample.
Constant - answers a characteristic or property of a population or sample which is
common to all members of the group.
Variable - answers a measure or characteristic or property of a population or sample
that may have a number of different values. It differentiates a particular member from
the rest of the group. It is the characteristic or property that is measured, controlled, or
manipulated in research. They differ in many respects, most notably in the role they are
given in the research and in the type of measures that can be applied to them
Collection of the data - answers the first step in conducting statistical inquiry
data gathering - answers a systematic method of collecting and measuring data from
different sources of information in order to provide answers to relevant questions. This
involves acquiring information published literature, surveys through questionnaires or
interviews, experimentations, documents and records, tests or examinations and other
forms of data gathering instruments.
investigator - answers person who conducts the inquiry
enumerator - answers one who helps in collecting information
respondent - answers information is collected from
TRUE - answers True or False. Data can be primary or secondary.
Wessel - answers According to ----, "Data collected in the process of investigation are
known as primary data."
M.M. Blair - answers According to ----, "Secondary data are those already in existence
for some other purpose than answering the question in hand."
