BIOL2022 L01 Why statistics? Organisms are variable in a variable world.

Descripción

Module 1, Lecture 1 SUMMARY: - Must make questions explicit, and state hypotheses and logical predictions - Correlative approach will tell you that a pattern exists, but (in most cases) only an experiment will tell you why - A simple framework can make life easier!

Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
Variability, intrinsic vs extrinsic: Measurement error is an example of [blank_start]____________[blank_end]; ‘natural’ variation within the system (e.g. body sizes of different individuals) are an example of [blank_start]____________[blank_end].
Respuesta
  • Extrinsic
  • Intrinsic
  • None! Stupid answer.

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
Dispersion, spread: [blank_start]____________[blank_end] is the square root of [blank_start]____________[blank_end].
Respuesta
  • Standard deviation
  • Variance
  • Standard Error

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
Complete the following formula:
Respuesta
  • n (sample size)
  • variance
  • standard deviation
  • standard error

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
When to use main tests: Differences between 2 means: [blank_start]____________[blank_end]; Differences between >2 means: [blank_start]____________[blank_end]; Linear and/or curvilinear relationships: [blank_start]____________[blank_end]; Frequencies (counts): [blank_start]____________[blank_end]; (All of these test null hypotheses)
Respuesta
  • t-test
  • ANOVA
  • Regression and correlation
  • G test and Chi squared
  • Chi squared only
  • Regression only
  • Correlation only
  • G test only

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
Correlation vs regression:
Respuesta
  • Correlation defines a relationship between variables (causal or not)
  • Regression states that one variable predicts another
  • Regression defines a relationship between variables (causal or not)
  • Correlation states that one variable predicts another
