17
Q

This type of study follows a group through a time to see if they develop a specific disease. It’s sometimes called incidence studies tracking the frequency of new cases of a disease.

A

cohort studies

18
Q

These studies focus on a specific disease. Those with the disease are compared to those without the disease, but have similar characteristics; studies how they differ.

A

case control studies

19
Q

This study collects data ONE time. It is sometimes called prevalence study (ALL cases of a disease among a group in a specific time); gives a snap-shot look at one particular time period (present time, not past).

A

cross-sectional study

20
Q

The ability to measure phenomenon it intends to measure.

A

relevance or validity

21
Q

______ validity tests whether the difference between the two groups is real (has the experiment group really performed differently).

A

internal validity

22
Q

______ validity tests whether or not a generalization can be made from the study to a large population.

A

external validity

23
Q

ANOVA - describe

A

Analysis of variance; tool used to evaluate validity (need >2 samples).
*used when several products compete against one another.

24
Q

Consistency or reproducibility of test results

A

reliability

25
Q

Variables that fit into a category with no special order (gender, race, marital status)

A

nominal variables (non ordered)

26
Q

Variables that are compared with each other and put in order, perhaps from best to worst, state of disease from 1-4)

A

rank ordered (ordered scale)

27
Q

______ variables are outcomes.

______ variables are what you manipulate in your study.

A

Dependent; Independent

*effect of cholesterol levels (independent) have on heart attacks (dependent)

28
Q

Simple average of data

A

mean

29
Q

Value at the midpoint

A

median

*if there is an even amount of numbers, the median is the average of the 2 numbers closest in the center

30
Q

Most frequent occurring value; prediction most likely to be right.

A

mode (no repeated #, no mode)

31
Q

Difference between the lowest and highest values in the distribution.

A

range

32
Q

Most significant measure of distribution; indicates degree of dispersion about the mean value of a distribution.

A

standard deviation

  • has curve of normal distribution as it falls away from its peak on either side.
  • distance between the mean and the point of inflection on either side is = to SD.
33
Q

About 2/3 (68%) of all observations in a normal distribution lie within ___ SD of the mean.

A

1 SD

  • 32% lie outside the range (16% below, 16% above the range)
  • 95% lie within 2 SD either side of the mean
34
Q

The closer the points to the line, the stronger the degree of ______ relationship. This is called ______ _______ ______.

A

linear relationship

linear correlation coefficient (r)

35
Q

There is no linear relationship if r = ___.

A

0

36
Q

Perfect positive correlation is ____.

Perfect negative correlation is ____.

A

+1, -1

37
Q

The lower the p value, the (HIGHER/LOWER) the significance of your results.

A

higher

38
Q

What does p < or = 0.05 indicate? <.0001?

A

< 0.05 = significant difference, results are reliable

<.0001 = very, very significant difference, reliable results

39
Q

Management concepts are?

A

philosophies about how an organization views its customers and its delivery of products/services

40
Q

Marketing Mix - what are the 4 P’s?
