Statistics
100
There is no relationship between independent and dependent variables or no difference between groups of an independent variable or a dependent variable.
What is null hypotheses
100
Type of research that provides an explanation of the relationship among variables
What is quantitative research
100
attribute or characteristic that influences or affects an outcome or dependent variable.
What is independent variable
100
procedures in quantitative research in which the investigator determines whether an activity or materials make a difference in results for participants
What is Experimental design
100
describe and summarize data
What is Descriptive statistics
200
There will be a difference based on results from past research or an explanation or theory reported in the literature
What is alternative hypotheses
200
type of research that provides a detailed understanding of a central phenomenon
What is qualitative research
200
attribute or characteristic that is dependent on or influenced by the independent variable.
What is dependent variable
200
procedures in quantitative research in which investigators measure the degree of association (or relation) between two or more variables using the statistical procedure of correlational analysis
What is Correlational design
200
generalize data from a sample to a population
What is inferential statistics
300
predicts the direction of a change, a difference, or a relationship for variables in the total population of people
What is directional hyphotheses
300
general educational issue, concern, or controversy addressed in research that narrows the topic
What is research problem
300
attributes or characteristics that the researcher cannot directly measure because their effects cannot be easily separated from those of other variables, even though they may influence the relation between the independent and the dependent variable
What is Confounding variable
300
procedures in quantitative research in which you administer a survey or questionnaire to a small group of people to identify trends in attitudes, opinions, behaviors, or characteristics of a large group of people
What is survey design
300
summary numbers that represent a single value in a distribution of scores
What is Measures of central tendency
400
predicts a change, a difference, or a relationship for variables in a population but does not indicate whether the direction of this prediction will be positive or negative, or greater or less
What is non-directional hypotheses
400
narrows the purpose statement to specific questions that researchers seek to answer
What is research question
400
attribute or characteristic that “stands between” the independent and dependent variables and exercises an influence on the dependent variable apart from the independent variable
What is Intervening variable
400
qualitative procedures in which researchers describe the lives of individuals, collect and tell stories about these individuals’ lives, and write narratives about their experiences
What is narrative design
400
occurs when the null hypothesis is rejected by the researcher when it is actually true
What is Type I error
