It occurs right before dusk when the sun starts to set. It always looks the best on a beach or any open area. The sunset itself creates a vibrant array of colors ranging from red to yellow all across the sky. Its a beautiful sight that anyone can easily enjoy.]]> 2016-09-02 01:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/evanmar2265/fvwafktmh0gq/wish/121243852 9/1 evanmar2265 https://padlet.com/evanmar2265/fvwafktmh0gq/wish/121243883 I can understand how to create our experiment and identify variables.

  • Longitudinal: A study that takes place over a long period of time. Attrition occurs when participants don't come back for conclusive results.
  • Population is where subjects are being selected from.
  • Confounding variable is when there is another variable other than the independent that may create different results.
  • Experimental Group is the group thats being experimented on and the Control Group is the other group that is used for comparison.

  • Z-score: The Z value shows how many standard deviations there are from the raw mean.
  • Standard Deviation is the measure of how much the scores varied from the mean.
  • Mean, Median, and Mode are used as central tendency measures.
  • Skewed distribution is when scores lack symmetry around the average value.
  • Statistical Significance is a measurement of how likely an obtained result occured by chance.
  • Anova is an analysis of variance using statistical models.
  • P-value is the probability of obtaining the observed or extreme results when the null hypothesis of a study question is true.

  • -A subject's participation should be voluntary and based on consent.
  • -Subjects shouldn't be exposed to dangerous procedures.
  • -If an investigation requires some deception of subjects, the researcher is required to explain how it works.
  • -Subject's rights to privacy should never be violated
  • -Harmful or painful procedures imposed on animals must be thoroughly justified, the animals are also entitled to decent living conditions.

  • Correlation determines relationship but not cause.
  • Positive, Negative, and No relationship are the three types of correlation.
