Levels of Measurement
Measures of Central Tendency
Bivariate Analysis
Statistical Significance
Miscallaneous
100
Marital status is an example of this level of measurement
What is nominal?
100
The most often occurring value or values in a distribution.
What is the mode?
100
This measure of association indicates the direction and strength of a relationship between two variables.
What is correlation?
100
This is the likelihood that findings of a relationship did not occur by chance.
What is statistical significance?
100
This occurs when data analyses reveal repetition and redundancy in responses.
What is saturation?
200
The rating of a program (as poor, fair, good, etc) is an example of this level of measurement
What is ordinal?
200
The middle value in the range of scores.
What is the median?
200
This test provides a measure of association based on observed scores and expected frequencies.
What is chi-square?
200
This is the likelihood that findings could have occurred by chance less than 5 times per 100 samples.
What is p < 0.05?
200
The use of both quantitative and qualitative methods.
What are mixed methods?
300
A level of measurement where response categories are mutually exclusive, rank ordered, and equal distance from one another.
What is interval?
300
The "typical" score.
What is the mean?
300
This is used to compare two sets of scores provided by one group of individuals.
What is paired samples t-test?
300
True or False: Statistically significant findings imply clinically significant findings?
What is false.
300
This is a qualitative method of data collection that uses a trained leader to garner information from a group of individuals (preferably 10 or less).
What is a focus group?
400
A level of measurement that has response categories based on a true zero.
What is ratio?
400
The distance between minimum and maximum scores in a distribution.
What is the range?
400
This test is used to compare three or more sets of scores, each provided by a different group.
What is ANOVA?
400
This occurs when a null hypothesis is accepted when in fact there is a relationship.
What is Type II Error?
400
This type of evaluation is used to determine the "how" and "why" of a program.
What is process evaluation?
500
The only two levels of measurement whose variables can be used to calculate means and standard deviations.
What are interval and ratio?
500
A calculated value that provides information on how the scores differ from one another and the mean.
What is the standard deviation?
500
This test is used two compare two sets of scores, each set provided by two different groups.
What is an independent t-test?
500
This occurs when the null hypothesis is rejected, when in fact there is no relationship between variables.
What is Type I error?
500
The primary goal of this type of evaluation is to improve the program prior to full implementation.
What is formative evaluation?
