🗑
What type of stats summarizes the essential characteristics of a data set   show
🗑
P-value and Confidence interval are used in what type of statistics   show
🗑
What are 2 examples of measurements that descriptive stats evaluates   show
🗑
Average for a set of numbers   show
🗑
middlemost value ina set of ranked data   show
🗑
show mode  
🗑
show range, standard deviation, standard error of the mean (SEM)  
🗑
show SEM  
🗑
Does hypothesis testing establish "causality?"   show
🗑
Does hypothesis testing establish certainty?   show
🗑
show False  
🗑
show That the treatment being evaluated has no affect on the outcome of interest  
🗑
What type of error is described by "A false positive"   show
🗑
What is a type 2 error   show
🗑
What type of error is seen when you reject the null when you really should have accepted it   show
🗑
show Risk of experiencing a type 1 error. it is the risk we are willing to take that we will find a chance result to be significant  
🗑
What is usually the accepted alpha value   show
🗑
show Flase. Both need to be established a priori  
🗑
What is the risk we take at making a type 1 error   show
🗑
What is the risk of making a type 2 error   show
🗑
How would you calculate Beta   show
🗑
What is usually the normal designation for a value of beta   show
🗑
show true  
🗑
What is another name for hpothesis of no difference   show
🗑
What are two ways to increase power   show
🗑
Which type of tailed test accounts for the possibility that the drug will be inferior to the control   show
🗑
show it only tests a benefit from a certain study, but does not relay information on a downfalls. Eg. a drug is beneficial will be seen, however it if is harmful it will not be seen  
🗑
show continuous  
🗑
show 1 SD- 68.3%, 2 SD- 95.5%, 3SD- 99.7%  
🗑
What is the mean and SD in a normal distribution?   show
🗑
T:F, the central limit theorem states that as the sample size decreases and becomes sufficiently large, the distribution of the sample means tend toward normal distribution   show
🗑
If a study were to be conducted on whether placeo or drug A was better. A sample of 20 people were randomly assined. Results were p<.005 and confidence interval was 95%. Could you conclude that the values were normally distributed?   show
🗑
show parametric = normall distributed, continuous data. Nonparametric = not nor. dist., nominal data or ordinal data  
🗑
show p-value  
🗑
show false positive  
🗑
show It means that there is a less than 5% chance that what we observed was due to chance alone.  
🗑
If the p-value is to high, what should we do to the null hypothesis   show
🗑
show FALSE! The p-value infers nothing about clinical significance! It relates to statistical significance!  
🗑
show post hoc  
🗑
T:F, the smaller the sample size the more narrow the CI   show
🗑
show small  
🗑
What value gives you statistical significance   show
🗑
show CI  
🗑
What is the equation used to determine relative risk reduction?   show
🗑
show hi-low  
🗑
show 1/absolute risk reduction  
🗑
What is the relative risk reduction?   show
🗑
show absolute differences between the probabilities of the treatment even rate and control even rate  
🗑
How would you define NNT   show
🗑
show NNT  
🗑
show the number needed to treat before you experience one adverse reaction  
🗑
What is the equation for NNH   show
🗑
show Smaller sample sizes detect a large difference. large sample sizes detect small differences  
🗑
