Review sheet for first exam

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The standard disclaimer applies. Here is a list of potential topics on the exam. If something that was in the book and/or discussed in class isn't on this list, it may still show up on the exam. And, just because something is on this list, doesn't mean that it will be on the exam. This list is only meant to supplement your review of the textbook and of your lecture notes. Vocabulary that you should know:
bar graph
binomial distribution
central tendency
constant
correlational method
data
degrees of freedom
descriptive statistics
deviation
experimental method
frequency distribution
frequency distribution polygon
histogram
independent variable
inferential statistics
interquartile range
mean
median
mode
negatively skewed
normal distribution
parameter
percentile
percentile rank
population
population variance
probability
random sample
random sampling
random selection
range
raw score
real limits
sample
sampling error
Sampling with replacement
skewed distribution
standard deviation
standard score
standardized distribution
statistic
sum of squares symmetrical distribution
tail of the distribution.
variability
variable
z-score
Formulas that you should know and understand how to use

Probability of A = number of outcomes classified as A
		       total number of possible outcomes

---- need to insert these still ------

Some review problems (notice all are odd, so the answers are in the back of the textbook)


Review sheet for second exam

Vocabulary that you should know:

alpha level
alternative hypothesis
beta
between-subjects design
carry-over effects
central limit theorem
confidence interval
critical region
degrees of freedom
difference scores
directional test
distribution of sample means
estimated standard error
estimated standard error for
estimation

Review sheet for third exam

The standard disclaimer applies. Here is a list of potential topics on the exam. If something that was in the book and/or discussed in class isn't on this list, it may still show up on the exam. And, just because something is on this list, doesn't mean that it will be on the exam. This list is only meant to supplement your review of the textbook and of your lecture notes. Vocabulary that you should know:

ANOVA summary table
between-treatments variablility
coefficient of determination
correlation
distribution of F-ratios
error term
experimentwise error
F-ratio
factor
individual differences
least squares solution
levels
linear equation
linear relationship
mean square (MS)
negative correlation
Pearson correlation
perfect correlation
phi-coefficient
poin-biserial correlation
positive correlation post Hoc tests
regression
regression equation for Y
regression line
restricted reange
Scheffˇ test
slope
Spearman correlation
standard error of estimate
Analysis of Variance
sum of products
treatment effect
Tukey's HSD test within-treatment variability
Y-intercept

Formulas that you should know and understand how to use

F-ratio = variance between treatments = treatment effect + individual diffs + random error
	    variance within treatments 		individual differences + random error
