Use this test instead of a one-way ANOVA to find out if two or more medians are different.
The randomly selected 100 students for a survey is called a population
This analysis is appropriate whenever you want to compare the means of two groups, and especially appropriate as the analysis for the posttest-only two-group randomized experimental design.
Statisticians assume a cause effect relationship and say that one or more independent, controlled variables (the factors) cause the significant difference of one or more characteristics
Descriptive Statistics can be used to highlight potential relationships between variables.
It is defined as the middle of a distribution in a ranked data
Which of the following would produce related data?
Compute the frequency of all nominal variables using what formula?
Correlation analysis can study a wide range of variables and their interrelations.
It is the most helpful for exploratory stages of studies such as a pilot survey.
Statisticians now believe that if the expected value (E) falls below 5-10 our chi-square test is not valid.
Descriptive statistics therefore enables us to present the data in a more meaningful way, which allows simpler interpretation of the data
To use a t-test the dependent variable must have
Descriptive statistics are very important because if we simply presented our raw data it would be hard to visualize what the data was showing, especially if there was a lot of it.
One-way ANOVA between groups is used when you want to test two groups to see if there's a difference between them.
If the MSE of an ANOVA for six treatment groups is known, you can compute
It arise out of the fact that sampling naturally incurs sampling error and thus a sample is not expected to perfectly represent the population
Analysis should reflect the design, and so a matched design should be followed by a matched analysis.
Create a Scatter Chart of the data. Is it necessary to create a scatter chart?
Statistics are powerful tools, but it's the analysis provided afterwards by inferential statistics that explicitly makes claims about what those results mean, why, and in what context
It refers to the relationship among the values that are assigned to the attributes for a variable.
It is a hypothesis which the researcher tries to disprove, reject or nullify.
The sum of squares due to the column factor for one way analysis of variance is given by
By which other name is the chi-square goodness of fit test known?
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.
Parametric tests are those that make assumptions about the parameters of the population distribution from which the sample is drawn.
If the sample data are consistent with the null hypothesis, then we do not reject it.
It is a measure of the strength of a linear association between two variables and is denoted by r.
Pearson's Correlation Coefficient was designed just for linear relationships. Technically, if we get a low value, or a zero value, it does not mean that there is no relationship. It just means that there is no linear relationship.
It is the study of how to collect, organize, analyze, and interpret numerical information from data.
It is used to describe the basic features of the data in a study
Distributions cannot be displayed using percentages
The goal is to apply the ______________ to a more general population, assuming the sample size is large enough and the sample representative enough of the broader public.
The population is not confined to people only, but it may also include animals, events, objects, buildings, etc.
All measurements contain some uncertainty and error, and statistical methods help us quantify and characterize this uncertainty.
The nominal scale forms the basis for such analyses as the Chi-Square because those analyses require that some category is compared to at least one other category.
C3: = B3-$B$9 Copy the formula up to C7. What is purpose of the $?
The straight line equation y=b0 + b1x is an example of a linear relationship. This means that the changes in one variable are accompanied by the proportional linear changes in another variable. If you increase one variable by 1 and the other by 0.5, this is a linear change.
Age is under what level of measurements?
What is the shortcut for getting the standard deviation?
What must data be in order for a Pearson's product-moment to be conducted?
The parametric test is the hypothesis test which provides generalizations for making statements about the ____________________ of the parent population.
It is used when evaluating Tests of Independence under Chi-Square statistic .
It is the simplest form of analyzing data. "Uni" means "one", so in other words your data has only one variable.
The advantage of using probability sampling is the _______________ of the statistical methods after the experiment
The characteristic of population based on all units is called parameter while the measure of sample observation is called statistic.
With all inferential statistics, we assume the dependent variable fits a normal distribution
Data collection used for a population.
The ______ sum of squares measures the variability of the observed values around their respective treatment means.
The only permissible aspect related to numbers in a nominal scale is “counting.”
The normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution.
Identify what branch of statistics focus on the measures of central tendency and dispersion.
Quota sampling has the advantage of being time-and cost-effective to perform whilst resulting in a range of responses (particularly useful in qualitative research).
All else being equal, as the subjects in a study become more homogenous, the value of the test statistic increases.
It is the measurement of average distance between each quantity and mean
It uses a random sample of data taken from a population to describe and make inferences about the population
We use inferential statistics to make judgments of the probability that an observed difference between groups is a dependable one or one that might have happened by chance in this study
If your results say that the p value is < 0.001 what can you conclude?
Methods of correlation and regression cannot be used in order to analyze the extent and the nature of relationships between different variables
It is the variable whose change isn’t affected by any other variable in the experiment.
It is the non-parametric alternative test to the independent sample t-test.
What is the conventional level of significance typically adopted in psychology?
It a characteristic or feature that varies, or changes within a study
The independent variables are called as predicator variable because independent variables predict or forecast the values of the dependent variable in the model.
