MC = Multiple choice TF = True-false
CHAPTER 1 TERMINAL LEARNING OUTCOMES
TLO1-1: Apply the six-step investigative process in the context of a well-designed experiment.
TLO1-2: Partitioning variation in the response variable into variation explained by the model and
unexplained variation, and measuring and reporting the percentage of variation explained
TLO1-3: Assess the statistical significance of the difference between two groups on a quantitative
response variable using both simulation and theory-based approaches
TLO1-4: Compare more than two treatments on a quantitative response using both simulation
and theory-based approaches
TLO1-5: Apply Post-hoc analysis after significant F-test (pairwise differences, as well as
confidence and prediction intervals for single means)
TLO1-6: Understand statistical power and how it is impacted by sample size, variability within
groups, number of groups, and significance level
Section 1.1: Sources of Variation in an Experiment
LO1.1-1: Apply the six-step investigative process.
LO1.1-2: Distinguish experiments and observational studies.
LO1.1-3: Review basic study design principles such as inclusion criteria and random assignment.
LO1.1-4: Define terminology specific to an experimental study (e.g., treatments).
LO1.1-5: Produce a Sources of Variation diagram for an experiment.
Questions 1 through 3: A study published in Psychological Science in 2007 examined a possible link between mindset and health. The following is an excerpt from the abstract of the
article: ―84 female room attendants working in seven different hotels were measured on
physiological health variables affected by exercise. Those in the informed condition were
told that the work they do (cleaning hotel rooms) is good exercise and satisfies the Surgeon General's recommendations for an active lifestyle. Examples of how their work was
exercise were provided. Subjects in the control group were not given this information.‖
1. Identify the experimental units in this study.
