Cards

Term
independent samples t tests
Definition
examine differences between 2 independent groups.
Term
confidence interval
Definition
another way to determine if there is a significant difference between the two means is if 0 falls between the two intervals.  If 0 falls between the two intervals there is no significant difference.  If 0 does not fall between the two intervals we do have a significant difference. 
Term
Between treatment variability
Definition

there are 3 sources of between treatment variability:

 

1.  the treatment effect

2. individual differences

3.  error

Term
within-treatments variability
Definition

variability within each treatment group. two sources of within treatment variability.

 

1. individual differences

2. error

Term
total variability
Definition

consists of:

 

between treatments variability

within treatments variability

Term
F
Definition

F = treatment effect + individual differences + error

-------------------------------------------------

individual differences + error

 

If there is no between groups effect, we would expect the F ratio to equal 1.  But if the treatment made a difference, the numerator will be larger than the denominator and the F ratio will be greater than 1.

Term
degrees of freedom (ANOVA)
Definition

one value associated with numerator one value associated with denominator.

 

degrees of freedom = between groups variance

 

degrees of freedom associated with denominator = within groups variance
