16322836812Although Phosphine molecules contain hydrogen atoms, there is no hydrogen bonding between phosphine molecules, why? (1)Answer shown above.0
16322836813What are the three types of intermolecular forces?• van der Waals (induced dipole-dipole) • dipole-dipole (permanent) • H-bonding1
16322838384What are van der Waals forces?• Temporary dipoles between electrons in an atom • Causing an overall attraction • Bigger molecule = more e- --> stronger vdw2
16322836814What are dipole-dipole forces?• Permenant dipoles, one of the atoms in the molecule (e.g a halide such as chlorine) is more electronegative (tendancy to attract a shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond) so forms a dipole-dipole molecule which is permenant.3
16322836815What are Hydrogen Bonds?• Containing O, N, or F, which must be bonded to H • Hydrogen's delta positive being attracted to the loan pairs (which are negative) of another molecule. (bottom right F must have 2 more loan pairs)4
16322836816Explain why iodine has a higher melting point than fluorine (2)Shown above.5
16322836817Boiling points of fluorine and hydrogen fluoride: -188c and 19.5c respectively Explain, in terms of bonding, why the boiling point of fluorine is very low (2)Shown above.6
16322836818Draw H-bonding of hydrogen fluoride (3)Shown above.7
16322836819Explain the shape of the graph in terms of bonding.The H20 and HF have H-bonding, explaining why they have such high melting points as it takes more energy to break. The reason the other molecules begin to increase is because they have van der waals forces, which are much weaker, and increase in boiling points as the molecules get bigger as they have more electrons therefore more induced dipoles.8

14006806191stratified random sampleTo select this type of sample, first classify the population into groups of similar individuals, called strata. Then choose a separate SRS from each stratum to form the full sample.99
14006806192cluster sampleTo take this type of sample, first divide the population into smaller groups. Ideally, these groups should mirror the characteristics of the population. Then choose an SRS of the groups. All individuals in the chosen groups are included in the sample.100

14006806211single-blindAn experiment in which either the subjects or those who interact with them and measure the response variable, but not both, know which treatment a subject received.119

14006806214blockA group of experimental units that are known before the experiment to be similar in some way that is expected to affect the response to the treatments.122
14006806215inference about the populationUsing information from a sample to draw conclusions about the larger population. Requires that the individuals taking part in a study be randomly selected from the population of interest.123
14006806216inference about cause and effectUsing the results of an experiment to conclude that the treatments caused the difference in responses. Requires a well-designed experiment in which the treatments are randomly assigned to the experimental units.124
14006806217lack of realismWhen the treatments, the subjects, or the environment of an experiment are not realistic. Lack of realism can limit researchers' ability to apply the conclusions of an experiment to the settings of greatest interest.125

14006806251probability of a Type II Error?overlap normal distribution for null and true. Find rejection line. Use normalcdf161
14006806252when do you use z tests?for proportions162
14006806253when do you use t tests?for mean (population standard deviation unknown)163

14006806255Sample paired t teststate--> Ho: μ1-μ2=0 (if its difference) plan --> one sample, paired t test check --> random, normal, independent do --> find test statistic and p value conclude --> normal conclusion165
14006806256What does statistically significant mean in context of a problem?The sample mean/proportion is far enough away from the true mean/proportion that it couldn't have happened by chance166
14006806257When doing a paired t-test, to check normality, what do you do?check the differences histogram (μ1-μ2)167
14006806258How to interpret a C% Confidence LevelIn C% of all possible samples of size n, we will construct an interval that captures the true parameter (in context).168
14006806259How to interpret a C% Confidence IntervalWe are C% confident that the interval (_,_) will capture the true parameter (in context).169
14006806260What conditions must be checked before constructing a confidence interval?random, normal, independent170
14006806261C% confidence intervals of sample proportions, 5 step processState: Construct a C% confidence interval to estimate... Plan: one sample z-interval for proportions Check: Random, Normal, Independent Do: Find the standard error and z*, then p hat +/- z* Conclude: We are C% confident that the interval (_,_) will capture the true parameter (in context).171
14006806287What's the z interval standard error formula?172
14006806262How do you find z*?InvNorm(#)173
14006806263How do you find the point estimate of a sample?subtract the max and min confidence interval, divide it by two (aka find the mean of the interval ends)174
14006806264How do you find the margin of error, given the confidence interval?Ask, "What am I adding or subtracting from the point estimate?" So find the point estimate, then find the difference between the point estimate and the interval ends175
14006806265Finding sample size proportions: When p hat is unknown, or you want to guarantee a margin of error less than or equal to:use p hat=.5176

14006806270How do you find t*?InvT(area to the left, df)181
14006806271What is the standard error?same as standard deviation, but we call it "standard error" because we plugged in p hat for p (we are estimating)182
14006806272a point estimator is a statistic that...provides an estimate of a population parameter.183
14006806273Explain the two conditions when the margin of error gets smaller.Confidence level C decreases, sample size n increases184
14006806274Does the confidence level tell us the chance that a particular confidence interval captures the population parameter?NO; the confidence interval gives us a set of plausible values for the parameter185
14006806275Sx and σx: which is which?Sx is for a sample, σx is for a population186
14006806276How do we know when do use a t* interval instead of a z interval?you are not given the population standard deviation187
14006806277Checking normal condition for t* (population standard deviation unknown)Normal for sample size... -n -n<15: if the data appears closely normal (roughly symmetric, single peak, no outliers)188
14006806278How to check if a distribution is normal for t*, population n<15plug data into List 1, look at histogram. Conclude with "The histogram looks roughly symmetric, so we should be safe to use the t distribution)189
14006806279t* confidence interval, 5 step processState: Construct a __% confidence interval to estimate... Plan: one sample t interval for a population mean Check: Random, Normal, Independent (for Normal, look at sample size and go from there) Do: Find the standard error (Sx/√n) and t*, then do x bar +/- t*(standard error) Conclude: We are __% confident that the interval (_,_) will capture the true parameter (in context).190
14006806280margin of error formulaz* or t* (standard error)191
14006806281When calculating t interval, what is it and where do you find the data?x bar plus or minus t* (Sx/√n) -get x bar and Sx using 1 Var Stats -t*=Invt(area to the left, df) -population (n) will be given192
