The advantage of using probability sampling is the _______________ of the statistical methods after the experiment
If paired scores occupy the same positions within their own distributions (high with high and low with low)
It refers to the relationship among the values that are assigned to the attributes for a variable.
What is the alternative name for a repeated-measures t-test?
In this level of measurement, the observations, in addition to having equal intervals, can have a value of zero as well.
The t-test family is not based on the t-distribution, because the difference of mean score for two multivariate normal variables approximates the t-distribution.
Which of the following definition defines nominal scale?
We are rarely interested in a significance test alone; we would like to say something about the population from which the samples came, and this is best done with estimates of parameters and confidence intervals.
What type of data do you need for a chi-square test?
Use this test instead of the sign test when you have two independent samples.
For an independent t-test, we assume that the populations of individual scores have the same variance.
The time invested often requires determination of the appropriate methodology to apply in analysis corresponding to the hypothesis and design of the investigation.
These are measurements for which there is no natural numerical scale, but which consist of attributes, labels, or other non numerical characteristics.
It is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample (a population or a probability distribution).
It is a nominal level variable that can take only two values (yes/no, male/female, Hungarian/non-Hungarian).
Parametric tests usually have more statistical power than their non-parametric equivalents.
With descriptive statistics you are simply ________________ what is or what the data shows
Which of the following is an assumption of one-way ANOVA comparing samples from three or more experimental treatments?
It is the average of all the elements of a set
Statisticians now believe that if the expected value (E) falls below 5-10 our chi-square test is not valid.
Methods of correlation and regression cannot be used in order to analyze the extent and the nature of relationships between different variables
The two-way ANOVA compares the means between the groups you are interested in and determines whether any of those means are statistically significantly different from each other.
Scientific data rarely lead to absolute conclusions.
Negative correlation exists if one variable decreases when the other increases, i.e. the high numerical values of one variable relate to the low numerical values of the other.
It has have no order and thus only gives names or labels to various categories.
When the expected values (E) are obtained by multiplying row totals by column totals
This is a sampling technique where the samples are gathered in a process that does not give all the individuals in the population equal chances of being selected.
The chi-square distribution (also called the chi-squared distribution) is a special case of the beta distribution
It involves the application of specific statistical techniques to disciplines in biology such as population genetics, epidemiology and public health.
By default, all variables fall in one of the four scales.
If all points cluster in an ascending line this would suggest there would be a strong positive relationship
Statistics is only the science of uncertainty and not the technology of extracting information from data.
The null hypothesis of the Chi-Square test is that no relationship exists on the categorical variables in the population
Measures of central tendency are ways of describing the central position of a frequency distribution for a group of data.
The intent is to determine whether there is enough evidence to "reject" a conjecture or hypothesis about the process. The conjecture is called the ______________________
The null hypothesis for the chi-square goodness-of-fit test states that the distribution of
The total area under the normal curve is equal to 2.
The only permissible aspect related to numbers in a nominal scale is “counting.”
You carried out an ANOVA on a preliminary sample of data. You then collected additional data from the same groups; the difference being that the sample sizes for each group were increased by a factor of 10, and the within-group variability has decreased substantially. Which of the following statements is NOT correct.
Nominal is hardly measurement. It refers to quantity more than quality.
This sampling method is usually employed in studies that are not interested in the parameters of the entire population.
Which of the following would not allow you to calculate a correlation?
In this method, the population is first divided into subgroups (or strata) who all share a similar characteristic.
It is the attempt to apply the conclusions that have been obtained from one experimental study to more general populations.
It is used to understand the nature of relationships between two individual variables.
The degrees of freedom for a 2 x 2 cross-tabulation table for the chi-square test of independence equal
It provides a mechanism for making quantitative decisions about a process or processes.
To determine whether the test statistic of ANOVA is statistically significant, it can be compared to a critical value. What two pieces of information are needed to determine the critical value?
It is referred to as such because it is a test to prove an assumed cause and effect relationships
There is a subtype in ordinal scale with only two categories like one of the nominal scale and is known as dichotomous ordinal scale.
What is commonly used for testing relationships between categorical variables?
A t-test compares means, while the ANOVA compares variances between populations. You could technically perform a series of t-tests on your data
Those that make assumptions about the parameters of the population distribution from which the sample is drawn
This method is a nonprobability sampling technique where existing study subjects recruit future subjects from among their acquaintances.
The independent variables are called as predicator variable because independent variables predict or forecast the values of the dependent variable in the model.
Analysis of variance is a statistical method of comparing the ________ of several populations.
The coefficient of determination and the R-squared (R2) are not the same
The concept of measurement has been developed in conjunction with the concepts of numbers and units of measurement.
Non-parametric tests are "distribution-free" and, as such, can be used for non-Normal variables
Distributions cannot be displayed using percentages
Which of the following indicates the strongest relationship?
If most points depict a dispersed descending line this would suggest there would be a weak positive relationship
What name is given to data which is made up of frequencies?
It is one of the measures of correlation which quantifies the strength as well as the direction of such relationship
