14
Q

It is the most common statistical procedure for determining the level of significance when two means are compared. It generates a number that is used to determine the p-level of rejecting the null hypothesis and assumes equal variability in both data sets

16
Q

____ and allows a researcher to examine differences is an extension of the t-test in all population means simultaneously ratter than conducting a series of t-tests. It uses variances (rather than means) of groups to calculate a value that reflects the degree of differences in the means

A

ANOVA

17
Q

is a one-way (i e one independent variable) ANOVA that is comparing four group means

A

1×4 ANOVA

18
Q

“_____” indicates that there are 3 groups being compared on 2 variables

A

2x3 ANOVA

19
Q

This is used when there are two or more independent variables being analyzed simultaneously

A

Factorial Analysis of Variance

20
Q

____ tests are used to uncover specific differences between three or more group means when an analysis of variance is significant

A

Post hoc

21
Q

_____ is used when the researcher needs to adjust initial group differences statistically on one or more variables that are related to the independent variable but uncontrolled, and to increase the likelihood of finding a significant difference between two group means.

A

Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA)

22
Q

This is used to investigate problems in which the researcher is interested in studying more than one dependent variable

A

Multivariate analysis

23
Q

A _________ (sometimes called a distribution free test) is used when a researcher does not assume anything about the underlying distribution

A

nonparametric tests

24
Q

Nonparametric procedure used when data are in nominal form. It is a way of answering questions about relationship based on frequencies of observations in categories

A

Chi square

25
Q

_____ a non-parametric test used It is
to measure the and the value r = -1
strength of association between two variables, where the value r = 1 means perfect negative correlation

A

Spearman rho
