Document Summary
Module 1 test: up to everything learned up to today. Positively skewed distribution (b: positive have hanging tail going towards bigger number, negative hanging tail going towards smaller. Which measure of central tendency most affect by extreme scores: mean, d)- range= a central variability but it is not a tendency. Strongest correlation: b) -. 75, since biggest number that is still smaller than +/- 1, cannot go outside -1,+1 range, bigger number stronger relationship not matter if +/- Sampling bias: who is asked is important, look at average family size. Can select people randomly how big is your family. Or can find families at random, and see how many people in family. Misleading comparisons: 1 in 2 couples divorce , not same bases- since 1 year look at who is married, yet 1 year after see who is divorced that includes everyone who has been married for many years.
