QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ median. Answer: My Definition: The most middle number in a set
with half of the score below and half above.
Example: In set 23444566, 4 would be the median.
◉ range. Answer: My Definition: Difference between the highest and
lowest scores in a set.
Example: In set 23444566, 4 would be the range because 6-2 is 4.
◉ standard deviation. Answer: My Definition: Measure of distance to
see how far away other numbers are from the average score. Low
standard deviation = numbers aren't far apart and vice versa.
Example: The set 2, 5, 6, 8 has a lower deviation that set 3, 7, 18, 22
because the numbers are more spread out.
◉ normal curve. Answer: My Definition: Symmetrical bell-shaped
curve that is able to describe the distribution of many physical and
psychological features. In a normal curve, the measures of central
tendency are all directly in the middle.
, Example: A normal curve would be seen when creating one based on
the test scores of a class.
◉ normal distribution. Answer: My Definition: Function that shows
the distribution of variables in a bell-shaped graph that is
symmetrical.
Example: The normal distribution is the most important probability
distribution in statistics because it fits many natural phenomena.
For example, heights, blood pressure, measurement error.
◉ statistical significance. Answer: My Definition: Condition when
the probability of the results being due to chance is very low.
Example: Green beans being linked to acne (see picture)
◉ culture. Answer: My Definition: set of ideas, behaviors, attitudes,
and traditions that exist within large groups of people (usually of a
common religion, family, or something similar).
- Passed through generations, resistant to time
Example: El Dia De Los Muertos is a holiday-- and part of the
culture-- in Mexico.
◉ informed consent. Answer: My Definition: Part of the ethical
guidelines of the APA that requires participants to be told enough so
they are allowed a choice about whether they wish to participate.
