34
2 types/branches of DATA ANALYSIS (quantitative)
1. Descriptive Analysis 2. Inferential Analysis
35
use to describe individual variables of the study
DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS
36

Steps in testing hypothesis:
1. States the Ho (Null hypothesis) 2. Select a level of significance (0.05) 3. Determine the statistical formula to be used 4. Identify the critical values or tabular values 5. Calculate value and apply the test 6. Compare the values 7. Interpretation
46
2 types of level of significance:
a. Type 1error (Alpha error) b.Type ll error (Beta error)
47
the researcher rejects a Ho that is really TRUE
Alpha error
48
failure of a researcher to reject a Ho which is really FALSE
Beta Error

65
No matter how well the objectives are written, or how clever the items, the quality and usefulness of an examination is predicated on ____ & ____.
VALIDITY and RELIABILITY
66
It refers to the degree which the tool measures, what it is intended to measure
VALIDITY
67
It refers to whether the instrument or scale is quantifying what it claims to
VALIDITY
68
Ex. “Weight” scale measure body weight and it is valid.
VALIDITY
69
*Means “repeatability” or “consistency” *It is the ability to an instrument to consistently measure what it is suppose to measure *A measure is considered reliable if it would give us the same result over and over again (assuming that what we are measuring isn’t changing!)
RELIABILITY
70
Levels of Measurement
1. NOMINAL 2. ORDINAL 3. INTERVAL 4. RATIO
71
The nominal level of measurement applies to data that consist of names, labels, or categories. There are no implied criteria by which the data can be ordered from smallest to largest.
NOMINAL
72
Ex. Gender Nationality Phone number Course Responses: Yes/No
NOMINAL
73
The ordinal level of measurement applies to data that can be arranged in order. However, differences between data values either cannot be determined or are meaningless.
ORDINAL
74
Ex. Satisfaction Level IQ Level Self-Esteem Level Degree of Pain Monthly Income Classification
ORDINAL
75
The interval level of measurement applies to data that can be arranged in order. In addition, differences between data values are meaningful. It has no inherent (natural) zero starting point.
INTERVAL
76
Temperature Year IQ Score
INTERVAL
77
The ratio level of measurement applies to data that can be arranged in order. In addition, both differences between data values and ratios of data values are meaningful. Data at the ratio level have a true zero.
ratio
78
Age Height Test Score Salary Distance
ratio
79
The ____ is the probability of rejecting Ho when it is true.
Level of Significance
80
This is the probability of a type I error, denoted by 𝛼.
Level of Significance
81
A ______ is a test statistic value beyond which we reject the null hypothesis; often called a cutoff.
Critical Value
82
The ______ refers to the area in the tails of the comparison distribution in which we reject the null hypothesis if our test statistic falls there.
critical region
83
Ho is true, the probability that the test statistic will take on values as extreme assumings or more extreme than the observed test statistic (computed from sample data) is called the _____of the test.
Probability Value (p-value)
84
In statistical tests, a _______ result means that the null hypothesis has been rejected, which means that the result is very unlikely to have occurred merely by chance.
significant
85
Steps in Hypothesis Testing
1. State the null and alternative hypothesis. 2. Set the level of significance. 3. Compute the test statistic. 4. Determine the critical value or p-value. 5. Make the decision.
86
______ if the absolute computed value is greater than or equal to the absolute tabular/critical value. |Computed Value| ≥ |Critical Value|
Reject Ho
87
____ if the absolute computed value is less than the absolute tabular value. |Computed Value| < |Critical Value|
Do not reject Ho
88
____ if the p-value is less than or equal to the level of significance. p-value ≤ 𝜶
Reject Ho
89
_____ if the p-value is greater than the level of significance. p-value > 𝜶
Do not reject Ho
