5674306796PopulationThe entire group of individuals or instances about whom we hope to learn0
5674312346SampleA representative subset of a population, examined in hope of learning about the population1
5674319970Sample surveyA study that asks questions of a sample drawn from some population in the hope of learning something about the entire population. Example: polls taken to assess voter preferences2
5674340795BiasAny systematic failure of a sample method to represent its population.3
5674352590RandomizationThe best defense against bias. Each individual is given a fair random chance of selection.4
5674377356Sample sizeThe number of individuals in a sample. This determines how well the sample represents the population.5

5674411903Statistic (sample statistic)Values calculated for sample data.8
5674421345RepresentativeThis means the statistics computed from a sample accurately reflect the corresponding population parameters.9
5674431161Simple Random Sample (SRS)A sample in which each set of n elements in the population has an equal chance of selection.10
5674438495Sampling frameA list of individuals from whom the sample is drawn.11

5674546600Convenience sampleConsists of the individuals who are conveniently available. These often fail to be representative because every individual in the population is not convenient to sample.19
5674556553UndercoverageA sampling scheme that biases the sample in a way that gives a part of the population less representation than it has in the population.20
5674569960Nonresponse BiasBias introduced when a large fraction of those sampled fails to respond. Those who do respond are likely to not represent the entire population.21

6303098160massing objects-don't mass hot objects; they don't measure correctly -don't weigh stuff directly on a scale146
6303098161what is a galvanic cell-a redox reaction is separating into the oxidation and reduction parts to generate current147
6303098162anode-electrode where oxidation happens in a galvanic cell148
6303098163cathode-electrode where reduction happens in a galvanic cell149
6303098164parts of a galvanic cell-salt bridge--> maintains neutrailty; ions flow into anode side -wire--> e- move from anode to cathode -solid and aqueous ions--> same type are together in a container150
6303098165galvanic cell equation-take both half-reactions and decide to 'flip' one of them to make in an oxidation reaction -'flip' the one that, when its E° turns negative, adding the E°'s together won't make a negative number -note: current and work can only be done if E° is positive151
6303098166electrolytic cell-outside energy source is used to force a non-spontaneous reaction152
6303098167electroplating conversions1. know that 1 amp = 1 C / sec and that there are 96,500 C / mol e- 2. starts with the time given, convert to seconds, then C, then mol e-, then the moles of e- in problem, and then moles of the metal (or vice verse) note: moles of the metal is found when making/canceling out the equation153
6303098168thermodynamics-says whether a rxn will occur; not how fast it will ocurr154
6303098169entropy-S° -measures the randomness/disorder -reactions will favor increases in entropy - (more entropy) gas, aqueous, liquid, solid (less entropy)155
6303098170Gibbs Free Energy, G-if ∆G is negative, rxn is thermodynamically favored (spontaneous) -if ∆G is positive, rxn is thermodynamically unfavored (NOT spontaneous) -if ∆G = 0, rxn is at equilibrium -∆G° = ∑(n(G° product)) - ∑(n(G° reactant)) (same formula for ∆S, ∆H)156
6303098171∆G° = ∆H° - T∆S°-make sure units are right! 1 kJ = 1000 J (just add 3 zeros) - -H, +S = -G (spontaneous) - -H, -S = -G (@ low temp.), +G (@ high temp.) - +H, +S = -G (@ high temp.), -G (@ low temp.) - +H, -S = +G (not spontaneous)157
6303098172∆G° = -nFE°-n = number of moles of e- -F = Farday's constant (96,500 C / mol e-) -E = energy potential (1V = 1 J / C)158
6303098173photon-increase the energy of the photon by increasing the frequency159
6303098174electromagnetic radiation spectrum-listing in increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength -radio / infrared / visible / UV / x-ray / gamma160
6303098175sublimationsolid to gas161
6303098176Boyle's LawP₁V₁=P₂V₂162
6303098177effective nuclear charge-as this increases, ionization / binding energy increases -nucleus' pull on electrons, partially weakened by shielding effect163
6303098178chromatography-paper is somewhat polar, so if your solvent is non-polar the polar molecules will be low on the paper while the non-polar molecules will travel with the solvent to the top164
6303098179pKathe pH that is halfway to the equivalence point165

7266433526PopulationAll the cases in a group being studied, from which samples may be drawn.4
7266433527representative samplinga sample from a larger population that is statistically typical of that population.5
7266433528Random SampleA sample that fairly represents a population because each member has an equal chance of inclusion.6
7266433529Correlation CoefficientA statistical index of the relationship between two things (from -1 to +1). 0= no correlation7
7266433530ScatterplotA graphed cluster of dots, each of which represents the values of two variables. The slope of the points suggests the direction of the relationship between the two variables.8
7266433531Illusory CorrelationThe perception of a relationship where none exists. Often responsible for superstitions.9
7266433532ExperimentA research method in which an investigator manipulates one or more factors (independent variables) to observe the effect on some behavior or mental process (the dependent variable). By random assignment of participants, the investigator aims to control other relevant factors. The only way to show a cause-effect relationship.10
7266433533Random AssignmentAssigning participants to experimental and control groups by chance, thus minimizing preexisting differences between those assigned to the different groups. This makes it easier to tell if the I.V. truly affected the D.V.11
7266433534Double-Blind ProcedureAn experimental procedure in which both the research participants and the research staff are ignorant (blind) about whether the research participants have received the treatment or a placebo. Commonly used in drug-evaluation studies.12
7266433535Placebo EffectExperimental results caused by expectations alone; any effect on behavior caused by the administration of an inert substance or condition, which the recipient assumes is an active agent.13
7266433536Experimental GroupIn an experiment, the group that is exposed to the treatment, that is, to one version of the independent variable.14
7266433537Control GroupIn an experiment, the group that is not exposed to the treatment; contrasts with the experimental group and serves as a comparison for evaluating the effect of the treatment.15
7266433538Independent VariableThe experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable whose effect is being studied.16
7266433539Confounding VariableA factor other than the independent variable that might produce an effect in an experiment.17
7266433540Dependent VariableThe outcome factor; the variable that may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable.18
7266433541ModeThe most frequently occurring score(s) in a distribution.19
7266433542MeanThe arithmetic average of a distribution, obtained by adding the scores and then dividing by the number of scores.20
7266433543MedianThe middle score in a distribution; half the scores are above it and half are below it.21
7266433544RangeThe difference between the highest and lowest scores in a distribution.22
7266433545Standard DeviationA computed measure of how much scores vary around the mean score.23
7266433546Normal CurveA symmetrical, bell-shape that describes the distribution of many types of data; most scores fall near the mean (68 percent fall within one standard deviation of it) and fewer and fewer near the extremes.24
7266433547Statistical SignificanceA statistical statement of how likely it is that an obtained result occurred by chance. Usually 5% difference is significant25
7266433548Hawthorne Effecttendency of some people to work harder and perform better when they are participants in an experiment. Individuals may change their behavior due to the attention they are receiving from researchers rather than because of any manipulation of independent variables.26
