Cross Tabulation and Correlation Flashcards
Nominal data
This is a type of data used to name variables without providing any numerical value.
Two types of categorical data
nominal and ordinal
Ordinal
data that can be ranked or ordered
T/F The closer r is to zero, the weaker the linear relationship.
True
What is a curvilinear relationship?
Variables are correlated in a given direction until a certain point, where the relationship
changes.
What does a low p value indicate?
Observed results are unlikely to have occurred by random chance alone if the null hypothesis were true.
There is a real effect or difference in the population being studied.
What does a high p value indicate?
The observed results are reasonably likely to have occurred by random chance even if the null hypothesis were true. There’s not enough evidence to support the presence of a real effect or difference.
What does it indicate when the p value is less than the level of significance?
That the observed results are statistically significant.
