Statistics can be used to: a. reduce data to more easily understood, descriptive terms. b. generalize results. c. determine when an observed difference between two or more groups is the result of chance, or when it is the result of “real” differences between groups. d. all of the above A sociologist examines the relationship between political party affiliation and how this impacts views on the War in Afghanistan. Group of answer choices a. Political party affiliation is the independent variable, views on the War in Afghanistan is the dependent variable b. Political party affiliation is the dependent variable, views on the War in Afghanistan is the independent variable

What is statistical significance? What do we mean when we say that two variables, distributions, or responses are "significantly different" that one another? We say that the [arbitrary] cutoff for statistical significance is α < 0.05. In your own words, what does that mean? In Chapter 2, the green Analyzing Ecology box (Standard Deviation and Standard Error, on your first Data Analysis worksheet) you learned that when data have a normal distribution: - about 68% of the data fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean - 95% of the data fall within 2 standard deviations - and 99.7% of the data fall within 3 standard deviations Based on this information, if you had two groups of data with identically shaped distributions of data, approximately how many standard deviations apart would they have to be in order for the two groups to be considered statistically different?

Question 2. Primary types of error are measurement error and observational error which are the cause of variability and bias in estimates. How many statements are correct concerning types of error? A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D. 3 E. 4 Statement 1. Random error is measurement error that is explained. Statement 2. Systematic error is measurement error that can be explained by statistical design. Statement 3. Response error is observational error that is due to the subject. Statement 4. Non-sampling error is observational error that is due to mistakes. Question 3. How many statements are correct concerning the measures within descriptive data analytics? A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D. 3 E. 4 Statement 1. Sample Mean is a measure of dispersion. Statement 2. Variance is a measure of central tendency. Statement 3. Correlation is a measure of the linear relationship between variables. Statement 4. Regression estimates the explanatory variable given the information in the response variable.
