Q

principle of hypothesis testing

A

calculate the probability of results
if we test null can we reject this meaning can we see a difference

Q

alpha value

A

critical value of a statistical test
that the chance something is unlikely due to chance

e.g 0.05- 5 percent chance the differnece is chance and not iv

Q

type 1 error

A

reject null hypothesis
get a significant finding when nothing really happened

protect by having smaller p value

Q

type 2 error

A

fail to reject the null hypothesis
get a non signifcant finding when there really is a significant effect

Q

steps in sampling

A

define population by specifying inclusion and exculsion criteria

determine sample size needed

implement sampling procedures

compare the critical values of the sample

Q

inclusion and exclusion criteria

A

ensure patient safety during study
only appropriate subjects and included
maintain ethical
help control confounding variable

A

must possess all characteristics idenitified
inclusion
must not possess any charactersitics in exclusion

Q

advantages and weakness of non probability

A

adv- low cost, easier to recruit, easier planning

weakness- difficult to generalise to pop/ potential biasis

16
Q

normal distribution of population

A

Determines the proportion of the values that fall
within a specified number of standard deviations from
the mean.

17
Q

z score

A

no. of SD’s from the population mean a
data point is

18
Q

non-normal distribution

A

if towards the left positively skewed
if towards right negatively skewed

19
Q

parametric test

A

Assume parameters of population are set
* i.e., tests that assume the underlying source
population(s) to be normally distributed
* Measurement must be interval or ratio

20
Q

non-parametric test

A

No set parameters around population
* i.e., population is not normally distributed, skewed

21
Q

how to analyse descriptive stats

A

summarise and describe

22
Q

inferential statistics

A

generalise/ make inferences about the larger set

23
Q

POPULATION VS SAMPLE mean and SD

A

we can estimate the degree to which sample mean varies from population mean by standard error of mean

24
Q

SEM=

A

standard deviation / square root of number in sample

25
Q

confidence interval 95 percent

A

mean + or - (1.96 x SEM )

26
Q

range of the population

A

mean + or - 1.96 ( 1SD)

27
Q

95 percent confidence= mean difference + or -

A

3x SE average
