Applied healthcare C784 Module 5
Exam-Graded A
Response variable - ANS-The variable that is obtained as a result, or the response that
gets measured or observed. Also called a dependent variable.
Conditional percentages - ANS-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 - ANS-A graph that uses dots on a coordinate plane to show the relationship
between two quantitative variables
Five number summary - ANS-The minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and the
maximum. A box plot represents the five numbers and a five number summary.
Independent variable - ANS-The variable that may be the cause of some result, or is
presented as variable that offers an explanation. Also called explanatory variable.
Correlation - ANS-An observed relationship between two quantitative variables. While
this is most commonly a linear relationship, it does not need to be.
Cluster - ANS-Several points are grouped together away from the majority appoints and
a data set
Box plot - ANS-A graphical rendering of the range in the first and third quartiles of a
data set with the data set's median in the center
Contingency table - ANS-A table that contains frequency counts for two categorical
variables. [See also two-way frequency table]
Explanatory variable - ANS-The variable that may be the cause of some result, or is
presented as variable that offers an explanation. Also called an independent variable.
Negative correlation - ANS-When two quantitative variables move in opposite directions:
as the explanatory variable increases, the response variable decreases
Joint frequencies - ANS-The frequency counts in each cell of the table
