7272326152Linechanges over time (years, minutes, etc)1
7272326153Scattercorrelation between two variables best fit line: half above, half below perfect positive correlation = 1 perfect negative correlation = -1 no correlation = 0 closer to 0, weaker it is2
7272326556Barcomparing groups different from histogram: -space in between bars -numbers DV, words IV3
7272326557Histogramdistribution data different from bar graph: -bars touch -IV and DV numbers4

7272362383M meaningmedian, midpoint9
7272365911range meaningdifference between extremes10
7272366869degrees of freedomn-111
7272368929example that explains degrees of freedomIf you're given 8 numbers in an equation and are allowed to choose those 8 #'s, all numbers except the last can be anything you wish. This is because there's a specified result to the equation and the last # decides whether you can achieve that result or not.12
7272381906normal distributiontype of standard deviation that looks like a bell shaped curve13
7272381526standard deviationa measure of variation, i.e. how spread out the numbers are the closer the data appears on a graph the smaller the st. dev. the farther apart, the larger the st. dev14

7272399930importance of standard errorshows precision of data as well as accuracy more trials = smaller standard error16

7272412913if SEM bars overlap and the mean is within it meansno difference between two groups18
7272416447if SEM bars overlap and the mean is NOT within it meansno similarity or difference two groups19
7272416448if SEM bars do NOT overlapdifference between two groups20
