18
Q

How is mean square calculated?

A

Sum of squares / df

19
Q

When conducting post-hoc comparisons in the 1-way independent ANOVA, what procedure is most likely to yield statistically significant differences between group means?

20
Q

In multiple regression case wise diagnostics, if you had a normal sample, 95% of cases would have standardised residuals with what range

21
Q

A study has 3 groups each with 8 participants.

If the SSm for this study is 38.26, what would the SSbetween be?

A

38.26 x 8 = 306.08

22
Q

In the formula for Chi-square what does O mean

A

Observed frequency

23
Q

How many null hypothesis could be associated with a 3x2x2 repeated measures factorial ANOVA?

24
Q

Which value is most relevant in an experimental context, population variance or sample variance?

A

Sample variance

25
Which value tells us the total dispersion of values in the data set from the mean?
Sum of squared errors
26
Why might the use of a 2 group pre and post test study give you an advantage over one group pre and post test study
By measuring twice, the researcher can establish an effect within 1 group that may result from exposure to a manipulation.
27
Define inter-rater reliability
Measures the degree of agreement between different people observing/assessing the same thing
28
Define split-half reliability
A test for a single knowledge area is split into 2 parts + then both parts given to 1 group of students at the same time.
29
What does it mean if the Durbin-Watson statistic has a value close to 2?
The assumption of independence of errors has been met
30
How many DV and IV are in a 2-way fully repeated measure ANOVA
1 DV 2IV
31
What are the consequences to the degrees of freedom after applying the Greenhouse-Geisser correction factor?
Value of the Greenhouse-Geisser epsilon = 0.934. So the Df for each of the Greenhouse-Geisser tests are 0.934 times the Df for the Sphericity Assumed tests.
32
When assessing whether the results of a study conducted on a sample of participants can be generalised to the population, what are we referring to?
External validity
33
How can you calculate how many groups took part in the study from the ANOVA SPSS output?
df between = no. of groups -1 So if df between groups = 5 Then 5 + 1
34
Calculation for the df interaction
(n-1)(k-1) | no. of columns -1)(no. of rows-1
