Question
Answer
Measures of central tendency   show
🗑
Mean   show
🗑
show midpoint of all scores  
🗑
show most frequently occurring score  
🗑
mean is appropriate for what data types?   show
🗑
show ordinal data  
🗑
mode is appropriate for what data types?   show
🗑
show range, standard deviation, normal distribution, percentiles & quartiles  
🗑
Range   show
🗑
show variability of scores from the mean. most frequently used  
🗑
show subtract each score from mean, square each difference, add up all squares, divide by number of scores  
🗑
Normal distribution   show
🗑
Inferential statistics   show
🗑
show an estimate of expected errors in a score, measure of response stability or reliability  
🗑
show estimation of true differences not due to chance, rejection of null hypothesis  
🗑
show probability level - reselected level of statistical significance. Most commonly .05 or .01 (.05= only 5x out of 100 is the difference due to chance)  
🗑
show based on # of subjects and groups, allows determination of level of significance  
🗑
show result of sampling error, expected chance variation among the means  
🗑
Type 1 error   show
🗑
Type 2 error   show
🗑
show increase sample size, random selection, valid measures  
🗑
Parametric statistics   show
🗑
show normal distribution (usu large representative samples this is met), random sampling performed, variance in groups is equal  
🗑
show parametric test of significance used to compare 2 independent groups created by random assignment and ID difference at a selected probability level  
🗑
show compares 2 independent groups  
🗑
show compares 2 matched samples (does therapy incr fxn in siblings with autism)  
🗑
show based on directional hypothesis. Evaluates differences in data on only one end of distribution (neg or pos)  
🗑
show based on a nondirectional hypothesis. Evaluates differences in data on both ends of a distribution. Tests of signif are almost always two-tailed  
🗑
show use to compare more than 2 means within a single sample.  
🗑
ANOVA   show
🗑
show compares multiple groups on a single IND variable. Ex: Balance Master score for 3 different age groups  
🗑
Factorial ANOVA   show
🗑
show Parametric test used to compare 2 or more treatment groups or conditions while also controlling for the effectss of intervening variables.  
🗑
show ORDINAL or NOMINAL data, testing not based on population parameters  
🗑
When to use nonparametric   show
🗑
Chi square test   show
🗑
show used to determine the relative strength of a relationship between 2 variables  
🗑
show used to correlate CONTINUOUS data wi  
🗑
show used to establish relationship between two variables as a basis of prediction  
🗑
Spearman's Rank   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
