1. How big is the effect? Effect size (descriptive) 2. Could it be a random chance? (Inferential)

Bruno computed a standard deviation, but he accidentally used "n" rather than the degrees of freedom in his formula. This means that the value he obtains will be ____________________ .

Smaller than the actual value

What commonly calculated statistic is essentially the mean of |ei| ?

Standard deviation

If this study were repeated over and over, what is the typical amount of sampling error that would be made in each study?

Standard error (SDx-bar)

Statistic

An effect size that is typically used with two numerically scales variables.

A type of research that involves observing that which occurs naturally without manipulation.

Correlational Research

What percent of the total variance is true variance?

Deviations around a population parameter

Standard error of the mean reflects:

Deviations around a population parameter

Double the score for higher/lower

The average of all the values for a population of values from which a single value can be randomly sampled.

A type of research that involves manipulation and random assignment.

Experimental Research

Area under the normal distribution curve

Gives probability

What is ei?

How much case i deviates from the mean <-- Not an absolute value

Mean Song

If you pick someone at random and you want to bet The mean is the score you expect to get

A numerical value based on data from a sample that indicates something about a population.

Inferential Statistics

In the process of computing a standard deviation, Zelda lost one degree of freedom. What did Zelda do that caused her to lose one degree of freedom?

Lost one subject from her total "n" I.e. with a sample of 7, she would have 6 degrees of freedom - a sample of 6 would render 5 degrees of freedom. To lose one degree of freedom would be equivalent to losing one participant from her sample.

The assumption that the population parameter for a statistic is equal to zero.

Null Hypothesis

Standard error of measure pertains to:

Observations of a single case

Standard deviation pertains to:

Observations of different cases

Standard error of estimate pertains to:

Observations of different cases

Standard error of the correlation pertains to:

Observations of different samples

Standard error of the mean difference pertains to:

Observations of different samples

Standard error of the mean pertains to:

Observations of different samples

A numerical value based on data from all the cases in a population that describes something about the population.

Parameter

All of the cases in which a researcher is interested.

Population

The probability of making a correct decision if the null hypothesis is false.

Power

The extent to which a measured value stays the same regardless of how, when, or where it is measured.

Reliability

This is the standard error of measure.

SD(sq. root (1-reliability))

This value will become smaller as the effect size increases.

SDest

If an individual was assessed on repeated occasions, how much would each of her observed scores typically deviate from her true score?

SDmeas = sd (sq. root (1-reliabiltiy)) Reliability = Cronbach's alpha
