Definition: Descriptive and question are better because it has statistical *1/1
properties

Term: The web of research

True

False

a collection of observations produced by sorting observations into classes 1/1

and showing their frequency of occurrences in each class (basically
dividing stuff up into different categories)

histogram

line series

matrix

frequency distribution
1.it needs to be submitted according to ethical standards 1/1
2. is it concrete and/or abstract?
3. is your data pertinent to your research question?
4. make sure your data fits with the hypothesis and actually answers your
question

Things needed in making histogram

Things needed for making a budget

Things needed for making a matrix

Things needs to be considered in collection of data

1. it gives percents and factors 1/1

2. assigns a cost to each part/task of the research

Things needed in making histogram

Things a budget will tell you

True

False

Definition: a general characteristic being measured that may take on *1/1

different values

Term: definition of variable

True

False

Term: definition of reliability

True

False

Definition: *6/6
1. purpose
2. methods
3. timing
4. budget
5. delivery
6. legal contract

Term: What 6 things do you need to consider when proposing the

research?

True

False
 Select the correct term * 0/1

Definition:
1 guide the direction of the study
2 identify relevant facts
3 suggest the most appropriate research design
4 provide a framework for organizing the resulting conclusions

Frequency polygon

Mediating variable

role of hypothesis

Web of research design

Correct answer

role of hypothesis
Select the correct term * 1/1

Definition:
for a symmetrical bell shaped frequency distribution
- 68% lie w/i the standard deviation of the mean
- 95% lie w/i 2 standard deviations of the mean
- almost all lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean

Grouped data

stem and leaf display

empirical rule

frequency polygon

Select the correct term *1/1

Definition:
the science of collecting, organizing, analyzing, interpreting, and
presenting data

Level of measurement

Statistics

moderating variable

Lab studies
 * 1/1
Definition:
3 (sample mean- median/ sample standard deviation)

you will get a number between -3 and 3

0= normal distribution
-3= negatively skewed
3= positively skewed

clarifying research question

skewness

random sampling methods

ordinal level data

1/1
Definition:
qualitative: non-probability (might be bias), purposive, small sample

quantitative: probability, large sample, a non bias representation of the

population

Steps for finding the frequency distribution of data

experimental statistics

differences in turnaround between quali and quantitaive data

differences in sample design and size between qualitative and quantitative data
