Narrative Review and Systematic Review
When p values is less than 0.05 we fail to reject the null hypothesis
Probability of rejecting a False Null Hypothesis is 0.45, then what is probability of Type II error
0.20
0.55
0.90
Cannot be calculated, insufficient information
p value is the probability of making type I error (alpha error)
Rejecting a True Null Hypothesis is called
Alpha Error
Beta Error
Power
1-alpha
Sample is calculated before the study so that
we get enough effect size
we achieve sufficient power
we reduce type I error
we increase internal validity
Null Hypothesis: There is no difference in the memory scores between girls and boys. The p value observed was 0.043. What do you infer from the study?
Boys and girls do not differ in their ability of memory
Boys and girls do differ in their ability of memory
Cohen's d is a measure of
Validity
Reliability
Effect Size
Sample size
A researcher conducts research in a clinic on patients who come to the clinic. What kind of sampling method would you consider this?
Simple random sampling

A researcher unknowingly fails to control certain confounding variables and out of lack of knowledge fails to chooses wrong statistical tests, these will reduce
Test score of a student categorized into low medium and high class, is an example of
Nominal data
Ordinal data
Interval data
Ratio data
Subject variability is best controlled in a
within group design
between group design
