QuestionAnswer
CI's for Dependent Means T-test " -true population mean difference . . . "
CI's for Independent Means T-test " -true difference between the two population means . . . "
Effect Size for ANOVA " [r^2 x 100] of the variability in the outcome variable of ______ can be predicted by the predictor variable of ______."
P-values for Independent Means T-test Represents the likelihood that you would have obtained a T statistic this big IF the null hypothesis of no difference between the population means was actually true.
P-values for Dependent Means T-test "There is a ______% chance that I would obtain an effect this extreme IF the null hypothesis of a population mean difference score of zero was actually true. [This is unlikely, therefore I reject/likely, therefore I fail to reject.]"
5 Steps of Traditional Null Hypothesis Significance Testing 1) Restate Q as a research Q and a null hypothesis about the pops. 2) Determine characteristics of the null comp dist. 3) Determine cut-offs that are unlikely enough to be rejected. 4) Compute sample's score & map it onto null comp dist. 5) decision.
Pearson Correlation - exploring associations between 2 or more numeric equal interval variables. -one predictor variable
Multiple Regression exploring associations between 2 or more numeric equal interval variables. - more than one predictor variable
T-test (Independent Means) - Numeric Equal Interval DV. - compares two or less means. - has diff participants and TWO means.
Single Sample T-test - comparing just two or less means. - diff participants in each condition.
Factors that increase statistical power - larger sample size - larger effect size -one tailed hypothesis test
Factorial ANOVA - when you want to study an interaction effect to see if one IV depends on the other.
Statistical Significance - tells how real an effect is. - speaks to the reality of an effect, but not the strength.
Effect Size - Tells about an effect's importance or magnitude. -reflects the estimated strength of an effect.
Elaborated Steps of Null Hypothesis Significance Testing With Software 1) determine nature of variables/research design 2) find+ review resources 3) run appropriate stat test/ check p-value to see if its below alpha 4) reject or fail to reject null hypothesis
Repeated Measures ANOVA - comparing greater than 2 means -same participants in each condition
T-test (Dependent Means) - Numeric equal interval DV - compares 2 or less means - has same participants
One-Way ANOVA - numeric equal interval DV - compares greater than 2 means - diff participants in each sample
F-ratio Distribution The null comparison distribution for the ANOVA that reflects the distribution of F-ratios, IF the null hypothesis of no population mean difference was true.
F-ratios in the middle region - are likely to be obtained IF the null hypothesis is true (fail to reject the null)
F-ratios in the outside region - are unlikely to be obtained IF the null is true (fail to reject the null)
t score for independent means T-test formula t = (sample mean - population mean) / Estimated SD
t score for dependent means T-test formula t = (sample mean 1 - sample mean 2) / S-difference
F-ratio for an ANOVA formula F = S^2-between / S^2-within = 5

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
