What Did You Find?
100

This type of t test is used when a researcher has one sample, knows the population mean, but does NOT know the population standard deviation.

What is a single-sample t test?

100

ANOVA is preferred over running multiple t tests because it does this to the overall risk of Type I error.

What is reduces/controls it (keeps the familywise error rate at alpha)?

100

If a researcher rejects the null hypothesis, they must consider the possibility of committing this type of error.

What is a Type I error?

100

This type of hypothesis states that there is no relationship between the variables being studied.

What is the null hypothesis?

100

If a 95% confidence interval for a paired-samples t test captures zero, this is the appropriate conclusion.

What is fail to reject the null hypothesis (the result is not statistically significant)?

200

A repeated-measures ANOVA is an extension of this type of t test.

What is a paired-samples t test?

200

In the F ratio, this term serves as the denominator.

What is MSWithin (mean square within-groups, also called MSResidual)?

200

Setting one's alpha level to a very low level (e.g., .001) increases the risk of committing this type of error.

What is a Type II error?

200

The formula for between-groups degrees of freedom uses this value minus one.

What is k?

200

Eta squared indicates the percentage of this.

What is the variance in the dependent variable that is accounted for (explained) by the independent variable?

300

A student affairs director has 29 students each experience both a student-created video and a live lecture, then tests their memory.

What is a paired-samples t test?

300

This is the minimum number of conditions (levels of the IV) required to run a repeated-measures ANOVA.

What is 3 (or 2 but can be done with a t-test as well)?

300

If a nonrobust assumption is violated in a repeated-measures design, this is what happens to the results.

What is the results cannot be trusted / the researcher should not proceed with the analysis?

300

This term describes variance that is primarily caused by individual differences.

What is within-group variability?

300

The abbreviation sM stands for this.

What is the estimated standard error of the mean?

400

If the observed value of a two-tailed, single-sample z test is 2.54 and the critical value is ±1.96, this is the most appropriate decision.

What is reject the null hypothesis? (The observed value exceeds the critical value.)

400

An ANOVA can only be used when outcome variables are measured at these two levels of measurement.

What are the interval and ratio scales (continuous/scale data)?

400

Dr. Schram wanted to match pairs by IQ AND have partners tested together in the same room during the experimental condition. She is in danger of violating this assumption for paired-samples t tests.

What is the independence of observations assumption?

400

When considering assumptions for a paired-samples t test, this is true about the normality assumption.

What is it is robust?

400

Cohen's d is an improper choice for reporting effect size in paired-samples t tests because it would do this to the effect size.

What is overestimate the effect size?

500

This happens to the t statistic as the difference between the sample mean and the population mean increases.

What is increase? 

500

In the phrase "between-subjects one-way ANOVA," this specific term indicates that independent samples were analyzed.

What is between-subjects?

500

If a researcher violates the random samples assumption in a one-way repeated-measures ANOVA, this would be the major concern about the results.

What is the results may not generalize?

500

Daily Double!!!!

In a paired-samples t test, sMD represents this in the 95% confidence interval equation.

500

Dr. Jones reports the results of a one-way repeated-measures ANOVA as F(4, 16) = 1.84, p > .05. This is the decision she should make regarding the null hypothesis.

What is fail to reject the null hypothesis?
