stratified sampling (define and tell how)

allows the researcher to control on variables that may influence outcome. 1) divide the pop into groups (strata) 2) select a SRS from each group

analysis of variance

one way ANOVA answers the question:

nominal

data type in which categories have no ordering

discrete

data type of finite or countable finite number values

probability density function (pdf)

describes the probability distribution of a continuous RV; denoted by f(y)

blocking

divide subjects with similar characteristics into "blocks," then in each block randomly assign to treatment groups

variations in applying/creating treatments

error due to treatment not being clearly defined, leaving room for interpretation

extraneous/lurking/confounding variables

error from variables that are not part of the treatment, but may influence the response

inherent variability

error type characterized by the fact that no two experimental units are the same

measurement error

error type due to error in measurement

mutually independent

events are _____________ if the probability of the intersection of any subset of the n events is equal to the product of the individual probabilities

simple random sampling (define and tell how)

every unit in the population has an equal chance of being selected. 1) assign each unit of the population a number 2) use a random number generator to select which units to use

what type of study establishes causality?

experimental study

fitted treatment effects

completely random design (CRD)

for t treatments, replicated n_t times each, use a random number generator to assign the treatments to the EUs

controlled variables

holding certain variables constant across the EUs decreases generalizability, but reduces experimental error

individuals in a sample are studied but the investigator does not attempt to manipulate or influence the variables of interest

memoryless property

the exponential distribution has this special property, which means if X is the lifetime of a component the probability of failure is constant across time; the probability the component will last "a+t" time units given it has already lasted "a" units is the same as that of a new component lasting more than "t" times units
