Evaluation Flashcards
(8 cards)
Conclusions from data
Valid, specific
Spearmans rank
1= strong positive and comp to critical value, causal relation
Correlation could mean 3rd v
Uncertainty
Amount of error in mst due to limits in sensitivity of app
+-= range of true v so margin of error
%error
Uncertainty ÷reading x 100
Minimise errors
Most sensitive equipment
Lower it by %change = half unc
Evaluation
Repeatability = enough readings, repeats, similar data again?
Reproducibility = compare, other sci same results?
Validity = does it answ q
Precise, accurate eg thermos con wb
Limitations in procedure
Unethical, degree of accuracy, less rep= less reliable, reactants reach req temp, small p cant be gen to wider, res of app,
Error types
Random= judgement so red by repeats
Systematic = faulty eq= moerror
