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.
