Q

a counselor decides to increase the sample size in her experiement. this will reduce type 1 and type two errors because

A

raisig the size of a sample helps to lower risk of chance/factors.

Q

if the researcher in the previous question utilized two IVs then the statistic of choice would be the two way ANOVA or MANOVA because

A

two ivs require a two way ANOVA, three IVs, a three-way ANOVA, etc.

35
Q

an N=1 an intensive experimental design uses what kind of measure

A

baseline measure

36
Q

single blind study is

A

one where only one party is unaware of what group they are in

37
Q

double blind study is

A

one where neither party is aware of what group they are in

38
Q

pearson r is the most common correlational coefficiant and uses I and R which means interval and ratio as in

A

information and referral

39
Q

the gaussian curve looks like what

A

a symetrical bell

40
Q

asymetrical curves are called

A

skewed distributions

41
Q

almost all scores will fall between 3 sds of the mean

A

t

42
Q

the most common measures of central tendency are the mean the median and the mode

A

t

43
Q

the most frequently occuring score and the least important measure of central tendency is

A

the mode

44
Q

the mode is the score that (occurs the most or is most “in style”)

A

t

Q

a biomodal distribution which has two modes looks like what as apposed to a bell shape

A

unimodal is one that has only one mode

Q

question 744 review

A

t

49
Q

the basic curve or so called frequency polygon the point of maximum concentration is the

A

mode

50
Q

to find the mode you find the number in the list that occurs the most often

A

t

51
Q

to find the mean you add up all of the numbers and divide by the number of numbers there then that is your mean

A

t

52
Q

to find the median you choose the score which is right in the middle

A

t

53
Q

to find the range is the distance between the largest and the smallest score. you would take the largest and subtract the smallest example 54 and 1, =53

A

t

54
Q

the most useful measure of central tendency is the mean abbreivated by

A

X

55

median is abbreviated by

A

Md and Mdn

56

mode is abbreviated by

A

Mo

57
Q

average means

A

mean

58
Q

factorial experiments

A

include two or more IVs

Q

when a horizontal line is drawn under a freqency distribution it is known as

A

x axis

61
Q

the x axis is also known as the

A

abscissa

62
Q

the y axis is known as the

A

ordinate

63
Q

the ordinate plots the DV experimental data

A

t

64
Q

some tests use the range with the highest score minus the lowest score plus one

A

t

65
Q

the john henry effect(compensatory rivalry of a comparison group

A

threat of the internal validity of an experiemtn that occurs when subjects strve to prove that an experimental treatment that could threaten their livlihood really isnt all that effective

66
Q

z scores arre the same as a standard deviation

A

t

Q

stanine scores divided distrucbution into nine equal intervals

A

73
Q

ordinal does not dilineate absolute differences

A

it is simply about order not adding ot subracting distance
