Well, how about stats?
Method-heads
Math-amphetamines
What's that thing you get at the end of a kid's birthday party?
100
The name of an abstract concept you are trying to measure in your experiment (often, if not always, needs an operational definition)

What is a construct?

100

This is a test of homogeneity of variance 

What is Levine's test?

100
Random and Biases, for example: Observer, experimenter, demand characteristics, acquiescence, measurement, selection, volunteer, WEIRD demographics...

What are examples of sources of error?

100

Measures of central tendency for the data set: 4, 5, 8, 8, 3, 4, 5, 4, 4 

Mode: 4
Median: 4
Mean: 5

Explain what you see on a z-table

What is chunks of the distribution/a segment of the area under the curve/percentile & a z-score

200

This is an inference or explanation about one or more phenomenon

What is a theory?

200

Describe 4 ways you can decide what statistical test to use

What are:
Number of groups
Parametric or non-parametric data
Number of IV's/DV's
Design (within, between...)
Variance between the groups
Normality assumed?

200

These can be defined as: sensitive to outliers, restricted range, 3rd variables, correlation does not equal causation, problem of bidirectionality 

What are the issues with a correlational design?

200

With a variance of 3.25, an N of 9, and average of 5 calculate the standard deviation 

What is the square root of 3.25

200

This is setting your alpha & stating at what point you would accept or reject your null (if it falls outside our critical values) 

What is a decision rule?

300

This is a testable question or statement based on a real world phenomena 

What is a hypothesis?

300

The theoretical comparison in an ANOVA

What is explained group variance over unexplained variance?

300

Rian would say this means "going all in on red"; putting all of your probabilities in one direction 

What is the reason why a directional hypothesis has more power?

300

Name the data you need to calculate the SEM

What is the Standard Deviation and the N value

300

What is a failure to reject the null, no significance; 50% of the time the results would occur by chance

p = .50 at the end of the statistical analysis

400
This is how your variables are being specifically measured

What are operational definitions?

400

When running a statistical analysis, the p-value tells you this - but does not tell you this

What is the p value tell you the probability of finding things that aren't there or the probability that your results occur by chance but it does not tell you if it's right/worked/good 

400

This means your research is double-blinded, randomized, and placebo controlled

What is the gold standard of research?

400

Explain the data needed to compare 2 scores that are out of a different number of items

What is the average, the standard deviation and the individual scores

400
This means that 2 variables have no relationship; shoe size and hair colour

What is a 0 correlation?

500

This is the ability to detect an effect/see how much your experiment's probabilities fall in a certain direction

What is power?

500

This is where the true mean will fall in the population 95% of the time

What is 95% Confidence Interval?

500

Most physiological and psychological variables fall on a normal curve, shows where you fall in relation to other, means there are no significant outliers

What are the reasons psychologists like normal curves?

500

These are the ingredients for a confidence interval

What is the SEM, average, confidence percentage and a z-score 

500

Unique personal identifier numbers, collecting a limited amount of personal data, destroying data, double-blinding

What are ways we protect participant anonymity?
