FINAL EXAM: Data Management (Order: 1)

This section of the exam consists of 7 multiple choice questions and is worth 70 points. One of these questions has several parts.

The exam is open book, open note, open internet. Please do not discuss the exam with others during or after taking the exam.

This part of the exam involves some documents that will be used for multiple parts of the exam. I suggest doing these sections of the exam in order. Each part of the exam that involves the same documents has a note like this

(Order: #)

Follow the numbers--do 1 first, 2 second, 3 third, etc. (this only applies to the sections of the exam with this note; the others can be done in any order).

Here are the concepts you need to be able to define and apply in this section of the exam:

Population of interest

Sampling frame

Sample

Sampling methodology

Observations

Variables

Unit of analysis

Level of measurement

I suggest you familiarize yourself with these terms and their application *BEFORE* you open the exam.

The exam time limit for this part of the exam is set at 2 hours, but it should take you nowhere near this long if you have prepared as described above.
