This type of sampling involves randomly choosing a heterogeneous group(s) and surveying EVERYONE in that group.
What is cluster sampling?
We learned about binomial and geometric distribution right before winter break, this distribution requires waiting UNTIL a FIRST occurs.
What is a geometric distribution?
The type of significance test used for quantitative data where we are testing to find the truth about the mean of a single population when the standard deviation of the population is unknown.
What is a T test (or T procedure)?
This is given to a control group so that they are not aware if they received the treatment or not.
What is a placebo?
At the beginning of the year, we discussed quantitative data in detail. We said that discrete variables that can only take on certain values, and we also talked about this variable that can take on any value.
What is a continuous variable?
We said this idea is SO cool, because no matter what shape the population is, if we take lots of large samples from that population, that sampling distribution will turn out to be a normal shape.
What is the Central Limit Theorem?
This rule was an excellent approximation of how much data is between 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations from the mean.
What is the 68-95-99.7 rule?
The fraction of the variation in y that is explained by the LSRL of y on x.
What is the coefficient of determination (or r squared)?
This experimental design involves the random assignment of units to treatments which are carried out separately within each group of units known to be similar in some way that is expected to affect the responses.
What is block design?
This type of significance test is awesome because it runs multiple 1 prop z tests at once! They also have a condition for expected cell counts which we find in matrices after running the test on our calculator.
What are the Chi-Square tests?
This measure of spread can be found by squaring standard deviation.
What is the variance?
The a in equation y-hat = a + bx
What is the y-intercept?
This measures how many standard deviations above or below the mean that a particular value is positioned.
What is a z-score?
Some element or evidence of this condition is required in all significance tests
What is Random?
This word or phrase needs to be mentioned when asked to interpret the slope of the LSRL.
What is "on average"?
This type of variable occurs in an experiment when we are not able to attribute the response of the experimental unit with the treatment because of it
What is a confounding variable?
What is the expected value?
This test is required when we have quantitative data that has to go in a certain order because the values are connected in some way.
What is a matched pairs t-test?
