| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the part of the population that we actually examine in order to gather information | sample |
| blank is when the treatment is repeated on a large enough number of people to allow the effects to be seen | replication |
| blank experiments is the imitation of chance behavior, based on a model that accurately reflects the experiment under consideration | simulation |
| the individuals on whom the experiment is done are the blank units, but when humans they are subjects | experimental |
| blank is the fundamental principle of experimental design | control |
| blank design, similar to stratification, is a group of subjects that are similar in ways that are expected to affect the response of the treatments | block |
| blank bias occurs when individuals who are selected do not participate, or cannot be contacted | nonresponse |
| an blank study observes individuals and measures variables of interest but does not attempt to influence the response | observational |
| blank sampling chooses individuals that are the easiest to reach | convenience |
| a blank sample of size n is chosen in such a way that every set if n individuals from the population have an equal chance to be the sample actually selected | simple random |
| the design of a study is blank if it systematically favors certain outcomes | biased |
| blank blank is a form of blocking for comparing two treatments, receive one treatment, then the other and the order is chosen at random | matched pairs |
| blank bias occurs when individuals participate but do not respond truthfully or accurately due to the way the question was worded, the presence of an observer, or fear of a negative reaction | response |
| blank random sample is when you divide the population into strata, choose an srs in each sample, and combine srs's to get a bigger sample | stratified |
| blank is when subjects are assigned by pure chance to different groups, creates groups that are similar | randomization |
| blank Is a specific experimental condition applied to subjects | treatment |
| the entire group of individuals that we want information about | population |
| a blank sample gives each member of the population a known chance (greater than 0) of being chosen | probability |
| another name for explanatory variable is blank | factor |
| blank significant is when an observed result is too unusual to be an outcome by pure chance | statistically |
| blank occurs when some groups in the population are left out | undercoverage |
| blank is a dummy treatment that has no physical effect on subjects | placebo |
| blank response variable consists of people who choose themselves for a sample by responding to the general appeal | voluntary |
| blank blank experiment is when neither the subjects nor the people who have contact with them know which treatment a subject is receiving | double blind |
| an blank deliberately imposes some treatment on individuals in order to observe their response | experiment |
