Statistics

Question 1

Describe the relationship between a dependent and an independent variable?

Answer 1

dependent variable is dependent of the independent one.
In an experiment the subjects are mostly the dependent variables and the treatment or the interventions are the independent ones. If the independent variable changes the dependent changes as well.

Question 2

Define the four levels of measurement!

Answer 2

Variables can be measured
categorial so their category is important .

nominal: means that there are only a few categories you can put them into. pie chart / bar chart, central tendency - none
ordinal: the order of measured scores is important. central tendency: median / mean, histogram

quantitative variables:

ratio: every scale with an absolute zero point
mean , median ( with outliers)

interval: scale with a meaningful interval in between the numbers. mean / median ( with outliers)

Question 3

What makes a graph skewed to the left / right?

Answer 3

skewed to the left : The skew ( tail) is on the left . So the peak is rather on the right side

skewed to the right: the skew is on the right. Peak on the left side.

Question 4

What attributes do the mode, median and mean have?

Answer 4

If you see a symmetric graph / histogram, the mode is always on the left the median in the middle and the mean on the right.

the mode is the least informative and the mean is the most informative.

The mean is sensitive to outliers and not as stable as the median.

Question 5

What is the summary of 5?

Answer 5

The minimum, Q1, Median , Q3 and the Maximum.

Question 6

How do you calculate the Median? P.30

Answer 6

M= n+1/ 2 –> Location of M than add the values of the score location to the formular–> M= x1+x2/ 2

Question 7

How do you calculate the mean? P. 28

Answer 7

sum of the values of the score divided by n.

Question 8

How do you calculate the quartiles ?

Answer 8

To calculate the quartile you first need to find the median and then take the median out of the two halfs you identified through the median.

Question 9

Define the boxplot! P.34

Answer 9

a graph of the five number summary. Not a real graph . A drawn box that visualizes the median, the two quartiles and the minimum and maximum on a scale.

Question 10

How do you calculate the interquartile range IQR ?

Answer 10

IQR= (Q3-Q1)

Question 11

How do you identify outliers? P.36

Answer 11

Multiply the IQR with 1,5 and

• from Q1 -> everything underneath that value is an outlier

+ to Q3–> everything above this value is an outlier

Question 12

What`s the standard deviation and what the difference towards the variance? P.38

Answer 12

the standard deviation looks @ how far the scores from their mean. And gives an average of a value like this.

The variance is simply the step before the standard deviation. From the variance you may also read out the difference to the mean, but the numbers are larger. This makes it easier to spot outliers.

The standard deviation is closer to the actual numbers.

Question 13

How is it possible to define the correlation between two variables?

Answer 13

• variables are either positively or negatively associated
• • association means that the scores / values of both variable are above average . x> average ; y> average- go together

negative correlation: one goes up the other goes down.

Question 14

Whats a scatterplot?

Answer 14

• visualisation of the correlation between two quantitative variables. f.i. price and rating
• each variable is represented as a dot in the coordinate system.
• -> you can easily spot outliers and see where there is a crowd of points . ( whether there is a weak or strong correlation)

Question 15

What do I need to consider when figuring out a relationship between data?

Answer 15

to identify the relationship you need to :

• identify the cases - how many cases are there , what kind of?
• are the variables categorical / quantitative?
• is it rather a response variable or an explanatory variable?
• What are the values and labels for each variable?

Question 16

Whats a log transformation?

Answer 16

• log comes from logarithm and is 10^x ( 10 hoch iwas)
• if you transform a scatterplot with a log transformation you take the values and take the root to make the distance between the scores shorter and the pattern more visible.

Question 17

What does smoothing have to do with a scatterplot?

Answer 17

• its a geometrical method of creating a smooth curve in a scatterplot, that helps us in identifying a linear relationship.
• the higher the smooth values is the straighter the curve is .

Question 18

What does the little r stand for? P 101

Answer 18

• correlation of two quantitative variables having a linear relationship.
• -> it describes if this relationship is positive or negative and how strong of weak it is .

Question 19

What is the formula for r?

Answer 19

r = 1/ (n-1) * Z ( (xi-mean of x)/ sx) ((yi- mean of y)/sy) )

Question 20

Tell me something about the character of r ?

Answer 20

• r is not affected if you change the scale. meters-> centimetres the correlation stays the same
• r is sensitive to outliers
• r is always in between of -1 and 1
• close to 0 = weak correlation ; close to 1/-1 scores are in a straight line
• negative correlation = x below mean+ y below mean
  visualisation: left top corner to right bottom corner
• positive correlation = x above mean + y above mean
  visualisation= left bottom corner to right top corner

Question 21

How can you put two categorical variables in a table? P 137

Answer 21

• you need a two way table which represents two categories at once yes /no / group one / two
• the yes / no on the left is the met requirement- whether a variable was met or not = row variable
• the = column variable is the vertical variable and describes group 1/2
• the combination of both is a = cell

Question 22

What the hell is a joint distribution? P. 138

Answer 22

• the davidite of the thing you write in the cell ( cell entry) through the entire sample size–> you get a proportion
• -> all proportions together give 1

the collection ( so not the sum - just all of the proportions written out) = the joint distribution

Question 23

How do you call a single comparison of a variable in a two-way table?

Answer 23

marginal distribution - of the column variable, consist out of two values of whom the sum is 1

Question 24

How are the values for a met requirement - row variable called?

Answer 24

conditional distribution , both values are in sum 1

Question 25

Why is a mosaic plot called mosaic plot?

Answer 25

because it consists out of 4 mosaic stones, which represent the marginal and conditional distribution. Each sector ads up to 1.l

Question 26

What has a “ lurking variable “ to do with the Simpsons paradox? P.144

Answer 26

• the so called third categorical variable is there because it is important for the evaluation of the table and the values.

third categorical variable: f.e. time

The Simpsons paradox occurs, if you have a two way table and you interpret the values in one way which is incorrect because a three way table is needed to interpret the data in the correct way.

Question 27

What does the line of least regression show us ?

Answer 27

• the relation between the explanatory variable ( x) and the response variable.
• difference to correlation is , that it is also used to predict the outcome of y ( response ) of the given value of x ( explanatory)

Answer 29

• straight line relating x to y is
  b1= slope; b1= r * Sy/Sx
  b0= intercept Eselsbrücke ( x= 0) ; b0= y-b1x

Question 30

Why did they give this least squares of regression line this fucking complicated name ?

And what does the formula look like?

Answer 30

• because they wanted to state, that this line aims to be as close to the actual score of y and has therefor the smallest amount of squares distance from the actual score .

the formula is : ^y = bo+b1x

Question 31

Through which points does the least squares regression line always pass?

Answer 31

through the mean of x and the mean of y :)

Question 32

Try to explain the relation between the correlation and the line of least regression.

Answer 32

• correlation is actually the slope ( steigung) of the line of least regression when they are standardised!
  formula : variance of predicted value ^y/ variance of observed value y

Question 33

Whats a regression line?

Answer 33

• a straight line through a scatter plot that tries to show how the response variable y is changed by the explanatory variable y.

Question 34

Relation regression and correlation

Answer 34

• The regression line is dependent on the correlation.

- if there is a perfect association , all points lay on the regression line .

Question 35

What’s the line of least regression?

Answer 35

• a line which shows us the predicted values for y out of x and tries thereby to be as precise as possible .
• It is also called the trendline in google sheets
• the equation ( formula ) is = a+b*x

Question 36

When are we able to use the regression line?

Answer 36

• when we have a linear correlation
• if we can get the outliers out of our data

Not

• if we have a nonlinear correlation
• if we have a curvilinear correlation

Question 37

What the heck are residuals?

Answer 37

• the deviation from the regression line to the real scores
• so how wrong the regression line predicted .
• -> a scatterplot helps us to grasp how much the regression line was wrong / or right .
• perfect association means also perfect regression line- no residuals ( or all on 0 )
• residuals are positive and negative and add up to 0

Question 38

How do we explain variation and what is unexplained variation ?

Answer 38

• explained variation = the sum of squares from the regression
  So: the Sum of (^Y - Mean) squared
  -> to get the deviation from the mean
• unexplained variation is what we find in the deviation of the residuals.
  So: Sum of ( Residual - Mean) Squared
• both together are the total

Question 39

And what is than the proportion of the explained

variation ?

Answer 39

• it is if you divide the explained variation through the unexplained variation
• -> r squared !!!

Question 40

What is the problem with a restricted range?

Answer 40

• it is problematic if you want to restrict your range , because it will significantly change your correlation .
• the more homogenous a group is , the less correlation there is . –> Confounding variable.

Answer 50

1. variables , describe are used to illustrate a relationship between two measurements . Either as independent and dependent variable or just as observed variables.
2. individuals are the single subjects of a sample .
3. a variable that is not quantitative measurable but orders subjects into the different categories . f.e. gender

18. factors for a multimodal shape : no symmetrical graph, several outliers .
19. outliers can be detected with the interquartile range multiplied by 1.5 and added to the Q4 and subtracted by Q1.
20. histogram : a bar chart that shows us the distribution of the variable and is ordinally ordered. Distribution, mode , central tendency.
21. interval/ ratio variables . –> quantitative
22. because the bigger the classes are ,the higher the bar will be, if the classes are smaller the distribution of values is gonna look wider.
23. modal value of a distribution?
24. the score of the middle position of all scores on a scale. Being the same amount of positions away from the minimum and from the maximum.
25. average is the sum of all scored divided by the amount of all scores (n).

27. three cases where to use median instead of mean
    - the graph has outliers
    - ordinal scale - categorical variable
    - skewed distributions

28.

• some measurements of central tendency are very sensitive to outliers - the mean .
• the outlier can draw a false picture of the central tendency because the mean got influenced by the outlier.

29. use another measurement of central tendency

Does the transformation of X scores into z-scores count as a linear transformation?

Answer 51

35. box plot : is the visualisation of the sum of squares .
36. Minimum , Maximum , Q1,Q3 and Median
37. if you time the IQR with 1.5 and you add it up to Q3 you get the amount after which you would define something as an outlier above. Subtract it from Q1 and you get the border to the negative outliers .
38. Because looking at the histogram / box plot can give you all the information that you otherwise would need to calculate the other stuff.
39. standard deviation –> root of the squared variance
    sx= root of ( Summ of ( xi-Mean) / N- 1 ) squared
40. why squared when we apply the standard deviation ?
    because than it becomes positive
41. the standard deviation is closer to the actual numbers than the variance. The variance gives a better overview over the whole thing and the outliers . The standard deviation is more precise.
42. If there are outliers . Because the Standard deviation is calculated with the mean . Sx is also sensitive to the mean.
43. We can use another form of measurement of dispersion for example the IQR .
44. linear transformation is to transform your data to another scale. For example Kg to mg . The data doesn’t change.
45. The median and mean will stay the same.
46. To the IQR will maybe change because if we change for example from a scale of celsius to Fahrenheit. The numbers get larger. The standard deviation wont change, because it will still be the compared the same deviation from the mean.
47. z scores indicate how many standard deviations a score is above or below the mean.

48.
yes because it transforms the scores in another scale.

Question 52

1. What do we mean by the terms univariate frequency distribution and bivariate frequency distribution? (course content) 2.

How can we apply a contingency table to determine whether there is any association between categorical variables X and Y? 4. What do we mean by the term joint distribution? 5. What are contingency table marginals?

Answer 52

1. univariante is measuring one variable and comparing scores among each other. Bivariant is measuring two variables and looking at the relationship of those variables. Also called one way and two way table.
2. if we have a linear correlation, a correlational coefficient of 1 .
3. If the relative frequency distribution is different between the columns and rows there is a association, if it is equal there is no association.
4. Marginals show us the univariante distributions : so the distributions where only one variable is taken into account . The distribution where both variables are taken into account is so called the conditional distribution.

Question 53

8. What do we mean by the term conditional distribution? 9. Let’s say there is no association whatsoever between categorical variables X and Y.

Give an example of a case in which the association between two interval variables could be influenced by a third – lurking – variable. 27. What sort of graph could we use to visualise the association between a categorical variable

Answer 53

8. conditional distribution: its the data in the cell we collected and put in a contingency table. In the Rows and cells.
9. Cell frequency on the basis of the row totals: Deviate the content of the cell through the row total?
10. if we see in the columns, that one condition is 0% the other is 100%. Than we can perfectly predict under which condition there will be a failure and under which there will be a win.
11. why not apply proportion of corresponding ratings with the inter raters agreement ? Because we can only see the actual observed agreements and not the expected one and can not take those into account.
12. the Kappa value establishes the relationship of expected and unexpected agreements.
13. the maximum is the total.
14. a high kappa value reflects a high level of agreement .
15. response variable is =y
    explanatory variable = x
16. The visualisation of the correlation of two measurements . Relationship explanatory and response variable.
17. quantitative , interval and ratio

How will the outliers in the point cloud affect the correlation between X and Y? 38. If the correlation between variables X and Y equals +1, can we safely conclude that the averages of X and Y are equal?

Answer 54

21. it would go from the forth quartile to the second quartile and the points would be tight together forming almost a line.
22. the same would be the thing for the negative correlation with the exception, that the line would go in the direct opposite direction. With a so called downwards trend from the first and third quartile.
23. it would be either in the second and forth ( positive ) quartile or the third and first quartile ( negative) .
24. if it would be two separated point clusters.
25. I would use separate colours for the separate genders.
26. for example if you want to compare the rate of car accidents from different age groups and you look at the sum of accident in one year and the age intervals. You don’t take into account the time intervals in which those accidents happend .
27. a histogram
28. we can see by looking at the graph, what relation the different categories have towards each other .
29. it does express the strength and the direction of a linear correlation . And if a correlation is present or not.
30. they reach from -1 to 1 .
31. 1 perfect positive cor. ; -1 perfect negative cor.
32. Yes this means that there is no association between x and Y. or only no linear ?
33. requisite level of measurement : it must be a linear correlation -
34. nothing will happen because the relation among the two variables doesn’t change.
35. the scatterplot will become maybe a bit bigger, but will have the same shape just spread over a larger scale.
36. a negative rxy tells us, that the increase of x causes the decrease of y.
37. the outliers will draw the correlation in their direction so to say .
38. no we can not , because they have maybe different scales . Just the correlation between them is perfect. Perfect dependence of each other. Doesn’t mean, that they are the same in numbers.

What does the linear correlation tell us about the linear regression of Y on X? 10. Does it matter whether we regress Y on X or vice versa? 11. Will a decision as to whether we regress Y on X or vice versa affect the regression equation? 12. What can we deduce from the square of the linear correlation coefficient? 13. If we draw the best fitting straight line in the point cloud, the degree of dispersion around this line may vary. Can this degree of dispersion tell us anything about rxy? About a? About b? About the quality of the predicted value of Y, given X? 14. What do we mean by the term residual? 15. How would you go about creating a residual plot? 16. If the association between X and Y is non-linear, how would this be reflected in a residual plot? 17. Why will an outlier in X direction have a clear influence on the slope of the regression line, whereas this will not apply in the case of an outlier in Y direction? 18. What do we mean by the statement ‘correlation and regression are non-robust’? 19. What is the restriction of range problem, and when could this phenomenon occur?

Answer 55

1. that the regression line is going to predict the values for y on the basis of the values of x.
2. it expresses the steepness of the regression line
3. the intercept is the point where x is zero . Crossing of the y axis.
4. yes it can tell us how strong the association is depending on the steepness.
5. the best fitting straight line from the points that are the furthest away from each other- in a linear direction.
6. they would be equal ?
7. extrapolation is the polation of an outlier, that draws the best fitting straight line in its direction .
8. I don’t know
9. if the correlation is strong the regression line is going to be predictable and straight.
10. Does it matter what we regress on what?
12. square of the correlation coefficient
13. the tighter the points are together, the stronger the correlation is .
14. the deviation from the regression line .
15. collecting the deviations from the line of regression and putting those in a scatterplot with a central line of 0 in the middle.
16. the residual plot would for example also have waves and the point would go in a wave shape.
17. slope of the regression line outlier in x direction – because it draws it to it.

18 . that they are sensitive to outliers.

19. The restriction of range problem occurs when it is important to keep the whole range in order to correctly interpret the data.
    for example restricting the range in order to
