Q

What is a Statistical Significance?

A

Not a chance. ( No fue casualidad) the significancy that is very likely to do not happened by chance

17
Q

What are the 3 factors about the correlation?

A
  1. Is there a relationship between the 2 variables?
    If No: 0 and not statistically significant
    If yes: Statistically significant and +-1
  2. How strong is the relationship?
    Absolute Value
  3. How do the variable relate?
    Look for the sign +[] {} -[{ ]}
18
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the correlation studies method?

A

Advantages: examines 3 factors of the correlational coeficient, shows the strength of the correlation
Disadvantages: it gets confuse with cause and effect

19
Q

What is the Experimental Research Method?

A

Is the study that manipulates one variable and the effect it produces on another variable.
Cause and Effect relationships.

Measure variable “effect variable”

24
Q
