问题如下:
Which of the following most correctly describes the sample of equity ratios of 50 U.K. banks at fiscal year 2017?
选项:
A.Interval estimate.
B.Cross-sectional data.
C.Time-series data.
解释:
B is correct.
Because the data for the sample are collected at the same point of time, So it is the example of the cross-sectional data.
因为样本的数据是在同一时间点采集的,所以本题所描述的例子为横截面数据
一个时间点能是一年吗?为什么不能是2017年每天或者每个月ratio的变化?cross-sectional不需要其他类似数据对比吗?
