Measurement--$100
A variable representing an interval
that can be broken down into
infinite fineness
answer
Measurement--$200
Of the four scales of measurement,
the most sophisticated
answer
Measurement--$300
This scale indicates > or < but not
by how much
answer
Measurement--$400
Many scales constructed to
measure psychological attributes
for research purposes (e.g., IQ and
extroversion) are measured on this
type of scale
answer
Measurement-$500
A ______ scale consists of
unordered, separate categories
and is depicted graphically with this
type of figure/graph
answer
Strategies & Designs--$100
The goal of this research strategy
is to establish a cause-effect
relationship.
answer
Strategies & Designs --$200
The goal of this research strategy
is to describe the relationship
between two variables as they
naturally occur in the environment.
answer
Strategies & Designs --$300
A researcher manipulates this
variable because it is the presumed
cause of behavior.
answer
Strategies & Designs --$400
This results when other variables
are allowed to vary systematically
with the independent variable,
leading to ambiguous results.
answer
Strategies & Designs --$500
This type of variable is treated like an
independent variable statistically but it
was not manipulated by the
experimenter.
answer
Frequency Distributions--$100
The simplest frequency distribution
consists of these two columns.
answer
Frequency Distributions --$200
The shape of a _____ distribution
is perfectly symmetrical.
answer
Frequency Distributions --$300
This is the appropriate type of chart
(or visual) for discrete data.
answer
Frequency Distributions --$400
These two types of charts
appropriately represent data from
continuous variables.
answer
Frequency Distributions --$500
A mathematical procedure for
estimating a value that is located
between two known values.
answer
Descriptive Stats--$100
A statistical measure that
determines a single value that
accurately describes the typical
score of a distribution.
answer
Descriptive Stats--$200
This measure of central tendency is
the score at the 50th percentile.
answer
Descriptive Stats --$300
This measure of variability
measures the average distance
between scores and the mean.
answer
Descriptive Stats --$400
This measures the average of the
squared distances from the mean.
answer
Descriptive Stats --$500
In order to calculate this, take the
square root of the population
variance.
answer
Grab Bag--$100
The type of correlation that
indicates an inverse relationship
between two variables.
answer
Grab Bag--$200
In statistical formulas, N represents
______________.
answer
Grab Bag--$300
The only appropriate measure of
central tendency for data measured
on a nominal scale.
answer
Grab Bag--$400
Percentile ranks correspond to the
values in the ______ column of a
frequency distribution
answer
Grab Bag--$500
The sum of the deviations from the
mean always equals this.
