z-score –
how many standard deviations away from the mean
normal model –
unimodal and symmetric
empirical rules 1SD = x%, 2SD = x%, 3SD = x% - 68%, 95%, 99.5%
form –
layout/underlying pattern
relationship –
strong means follows pattern, weak means scattered
veriable of interest and explanatory/predictor variable –
var of int = y var/response var, explan var = x var
correlation coefficient –
a measure of the strength of relationship between two variables
lurking variable –
a variable that is not among the explanatory or response variables in a study but
that may influence the response variable
parameters –
statistics from a whole population
statistics –
mead/med/mode for a sample
line of best fit –
the line for which the sum of the squared residuals is smallest
good regressions model means –
when plot residuals (x vs y or predicted y vs y) there is no shape
equal variance assumption –
a good model will have the spread of the residuals consistent throuhgout and no
shape
high leverage –
a pts x-val is far from the mean x
influential point if –
omitting it changes the line of best fit's slope a lot
outlier –
pts y val is far from mean y
population and sample means/SDs symbols –
pop: μ and σ sample: x bar, S sub x bar
trial –
each time an experiment is tried
biased sample –
A sample that does not fairly represent the population (over or runder reps part
of pop)
stratified sampling –
pop divided into two homogeneous groups before sampling
cluster sampling –
split pop into groups that ea fully rep the entire pop before sampling
systematic sampling –
select some starting point and then select every nth element in the population
nonresponse bias –
bias introduced to a sample when a large fraction of those sampled fails to
respond
conveniance sampling bias –
choosing easy subjects (ex: first 20 ppl you see)
response bias –
anything in a survey design that influences responses (intimidation, wording of
q, etc)
voluntary response is a –
bias
observational study –
observes individuals and measures variables of interest but does not attempt to
influence the responses
experiment –
random assignment of treatments to subjects that establishes a cause and effct
relationship between the vars
