100

For $100: What type of t-test is used when the two groups of scores are related or matched in some way?


What is a paired or dependent t-test?

100

For $100: What statistical test compares the means of two independent groups to see if they are significantly different?

What is an independent t-test?

100

For $100: What statistical measure shows how spread out numbers are from the mean?

what is standard deviation?

100

For $100: Why do scientists use different statistical measurements when analyzing data?

What is to better understand different aspects of the data like central tendency and variability?

100

For $100: What do error bars on a graph visually show about the data?

What is the variability or uncertainty around the mean?

200

For $200: In a dependent t-test, if one group of subjects is tested twice on the same variable, what does this imply about the data?

What is the data are related or paired?

200

For $200: In a t-test, what is the term for the hypothesis that assumes no difference between the group means?

What is the null hypothesis?

200

For $200: When calculating standard deviation, what is the first step with the data points?

What is finding the mean (average)?

200

For $200: What single value change do you look for? 

What is positive or negative changes?

200

For $200: If error bars are wide, what does that indicate about the data's spread?

What is the data points are more spread out and there is less confidence in the mean?

300

For $300: In the rat chocolate chip experiment, what was the null hypothesis regarding electrical stimulation?

What is that electrical stimulation has no impact on food intake?

300

For $300: What value in a t-test tells you how many standard errors the sample mean difference is away from zero?

What is the t-value?

300

For $300: After finding the mean, what do you calculate for each data point to find the variance?

What is the squared difference from the mean?

300

For $300: How do you calculate the mean of a data set?

What is the sum of all values divided by the total number of values?

300

For $300: What statistical term describes the lowest to highest value in a data set?

What is the range?

400

For $400: If the p-value in a dependent t-test is NOT significant, what decision do you make about the null hypothesis?

What is you accept the null hypothesis?

400

For $400: If the p-value in a t-test is less than the significance level (e.g., 0.05), what conclusion do you make?

What is you reject the null hypothesis?

400

For $400: If a group of runners has a low standard deviation in their race times, what does this indicate about their performance?

What is their race times are very similar or consistent?

400

For $400: What do error bars on a graph represent?

What is the confidence or uncertainty about how well the mean represents the true value?

400

For $400: What does a high standard deviation tell you about data distribution?

What is the data points are spread out over a large range of values?

500

For $500: What type of t-test tests whether the mean is significantly greater or less than a value, but not both directions?

What is a one-tailed t-test?

500

For $500: In the example comparing older and younger adults' life satisfaction, what type of t-test is used?

What is an independent t-test?

500

For $500: In the example of average height of men, why is standard deviation useful?

What is it shows how much individual heights vary around the average?

500

For $500: What does a low standard deviation tell you about a data set?

What is that the data points are close to the mean and not widely spread out?

500

For $500: What is the significance of one standard deviation (1 σ) on either side of the mean?

What is it represents a region with about 64% probability that the true value lies within it?
