1) Dividend - Distribution of earnings to shareholders.
2) % Yield - The Rate of return gained on an investment.
It also refers to the dividend payable on a share
(and is expressed as a percentage of the market price).
3) Market price- The last reported price at which the stock
or bond sold, or the current quote.
4) Face Value - The value of a bond (or other debt instrument) that appears on the front,
or face, of the certificate. Although a bond's price may change due to market conditions,
the face value does not change. At maturity, the issuer redeems the bond at the face value
amount. If the bonds are retired before maturity, the bondholder usually receives a slight
premium over the face value. The face value is also the amount used to compute interest payments.
5) Sample - items selected at random from a population and used to test hypotheses about the
population.
6)A census is the process of obtaining information about every member of a population
(not necessarily a human population). It can be contrasted with sampling in which information is
only obtained from a subset of a population. As such it is a method used for accumulating statistical
data, and it is also vital to democracy (voting).
7) Categorical Data - Data that are labels rather than numbers. The label may describe a classification,
category, or group of the item of interest. For example, for data on reasons people were absent from work,
the classifications might include categories such as illness, vacation, holiday, or funeral leave.
8) Random - Picked at random
9)Stratified - arranged in a sequence of grades or ranks; "stratified areas of the distribution"
10)Systematic - characterized by order and planning; "the investigation was very systematic";
"a systematic administrator"
