Document Summary

Arrange conditions to isolate the effects of the iv: standardize conditions for all subjects, assign subjects randomly to conditions in order to minimize the in uence of extraneous variables. Mean: how much the mean is and how much the variable vary, standard deviation - average deviation of individual scores from the mean. Measure of the variability within a group. If the subjects add up to zero, square the deviation to nd out the standard deviation. !1: force of diffusion - involves high concentration to low concentration.
