Statistics II

Decision table list/tree

ROOT:

1. Be able to read a research scenario and tell what type of test to run.

2. Know how to perform hypothesis testing for each test (including finding the critical value and
deciding) with frameworks available.

3. Be able to write test results in APA format and interpret results written in APA format.

BRANCH; The One Sample T Statistic and Estimation.

LEAVES:
1. What is a t-test?
a. When can we complete the t-test?
b. What are the assumptions?
c. What do the results tell us?
2. What are the measures of effect size for the t-test?
a. When do we calculate it?
b. What do the results tell us?
3. What is estimation?
a. How is it done?
b. What do the results tell us?

BRANCH; The Two-Independent-Sample t Statistic

LEAVES;
1. Differentiate between independent samples and related samples.
2. What is an independent samples t-test?
a. When do we use it?
b. What are the assumptions?
c. What do the results tell us?
3. What are the measures of effect size for this test?
a. When do we calculate it?
b. What do the results tell us?
How is the estimation for the one-sample design similar/different than the estimation for the two-
sample design?

BRANCH; Related Samples t Statistic

LEAVES;
1. Differentiate between repeated measures and matched pairs design.
2. Identify the different repeated measures and matched pair designs.
3. What is a related samples t-test?
a. What are the assumptions?
b. When do we use it?
c. What do the results tell us?
 4. What are the measures of effect size for this test?
a. When do we calculate it?
b. What do the results tell us?
BRANCH: One-way Analysis of Variance
LEAVES;
1. What is an ANOVA?
a. What are the assumptions?
b. When do we use it?
c. What do the results tell us?
2. Discriminate between a between-subjects and within-subjects research design?
3. What are the different sources of variability accounted for in the between-subjects ANOVA?
4. What are the different sources of variability accounted for in the within-subjects ANOVA?
5. What is Tukey’s post-hoc test?
a. When do you perform it?
b. What do the results tell us?
6. What is experimentwise alpha? How is it different from test-wise alpha?
7. Compare and contrast the measures of effect size used with the between and within-
subjects ANOVAs. When do you use them? What do the results mean?

BRANCH: Two-Way Analysis of Variance

LEAVES;
1. What is a factor?
2. What are levels?
3. Discriminate between a one-factor and two-factor ANOVA.
4. What are the different sources of variability for a two-way ANOVA?
5. What is a factorial design? How is it notated?
6. What is an interaction? How is it determined?
7. How do we interpret the results of a two-way ANOVA?
