286356599the standard deviation squaredthe variance
286356600Q3-Q1IQR
286356601median > meana distribution is skewed to the left
286356602median < meana distribution that is skewed to the right
286356603mean = mediana symmetric distribution
286356604quantitativethe number of years each of your teachers has taught
286356605categoricalclassifying a statistic as quantitative or qualitative
2863566061.5(IQR) add to the third quartile, subtract from the first quartile...find outliers
28635660799.7,95,68distribution of scores percentages
286356608residualhow far away from the LSRL the point is...above= positive, below=negative
286356609simpsons paradoxphenomenon when a third variable is thrown into the observation amd tje association changes
286356610nodo influential points necessarily have large residuals
286356611LSRL will change significantlywhat happens if you remove influential points from a data set
2863566121 or -1what numbers = perfect correlational relationships
286356613stratifiedsampling technique
286356614blockinga design technique
286356615control, randomization, and replicationthree principles of experimental design
286356616stratified samplingsubgroups are homogenous
286356617cluster samplingsubrgroups are heterogenous
286356618Confounding Variablesfactors that cause differences between the experimental group and the control group other than the independent variable
286356619convenience samplingcreate a sample by using data from population members that are readily available
286356620response samplingwhen cases systematically exclude themselves from the sample Can be helped by using oversampling or weighting cases
286356621matched pairs designdesign where before and after experiments the same subjects are used for pre-testing and post-testing a treatment
286356622completely randomized designAn experimental design where all individuals participating in the experiment are assigned at random to the treatments and have equal chances.
286356623binomial probability modelthe variable of interest is the number of successes in a fixed number of trials; counts the number of successes in a certain number of trials
286356624geometric probability modelthe variable of interest is how many trials it takes to obtain the first success.
