Question
Answer
T:FA pooly designed study can not be statistically evaluated   show
🗑
T:F, A poorly appied statistical test can never be evaluated   show
🗑
show Inferential Statistics  
🗑
show Descriptive  
🗑
P-value and Confidence interval are used in what type of statistics   show
🗑
What are 2 examples of measurements that descriptive stats evaluates   show
🗑
show mean  
🗑
show median  
🗑
most frequently occuring number in a data set   show
🗑
show range, standard deviation, standard error of the mean (SEM)  
🗑
What measure of variability relates the sample to the population   show
🗑
show yes  
🗑
show No  
🗑
T:F, Causality and certainty are synonomous   show
🗑
What does the null hypothesis state?   show
🗑
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  
🗑
show 5%  
🗑
show Flase. Both need to be established a priori  
🗑
show alpha  
🗑
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
🗑
T:F, Hypothesis testing establishes whether the outcome of interest is due to chance alone or another factor   show
🗑
What is another name for hpothesis of no difference   show
🗑
show increase alpha (significance level) or increase sample size OR make assumptions (specifically one sided assumptions) or reduce variability)  
🗑
show 2 sided test  
🗑
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  
🗑
LDL cholesteril is an example of what kind of measurement   show
🗑
In a normal distribution what are the percentages of information found within 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations   show
🗑
show mean = 0, SD = 1  
🗑
show False. This will happen as the sample size INCREASES  
🗑
show NO. normal distribution is determined by sample size. there has to be a sample size of at least 30 to be normally distributed  
🗑
What is the difference between parametric and nonparametric?   show
🗑
What is the probability of the observed result or a more extreme result occurring by chance alone   show
🗑
the p-value is the risk of experiencing what type of error, a fale positive or a fale negative?   show
🗑
show It means that there is a less than 5% chance that what we observed was due to chance alone.  
🗑
show you have insufficient evidence to reject the null = accept the null hypothesis  
🗑
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  
🗑
show p-value  
🗑
show CI  
🗑
What is the equation used to determine relative risk reduction?   show
🗑
What is the equation for absolute risk reduction?   show
🗑
what is the equation for number needed to treat   show
🗑
show the reduction of risk from 1 therapy to anoter.  
🗑
show absolute differences between the probabilities of the treatment even rate and control even rate  
🗑
show the number if subjects needed to treat over a period of time in order to see the benefits of a therapy in 1 subject  
🗑
Which one of the following is used to make clinical decisions, NNT, ARR, RRR.   show
🗑
What does the number needed to harm mean   show
🗑
What is the equation for NNH   show
🗑
What is the relationship between sample size and the ability to detect a difference?   show
🗑
