SOC202H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: F-Distribution, Marginal Distribution, Null Hypothesis
Document Summary
Association: the distribution of one variable differs depending on the value of another variable. Knowing variation in the independent variable helps us predict variation in the dependent. Iv causes dv (iv dv), empirical association between these variables does not necessarily indicate that there is causation// correlation does not equal causation: require logic and theory in order to determine whether causation relationship or not. Inherent ordering (ordinal level of measurement) categorical variables, there are three key questions we should consider: When we"re interested in examining whether there is an association between two. Than the association between biological sex and number of ovaries. Lecture 9 stronger associations between biological sex and number of ovaries in comparison to anger and biological sex ( men tend to have more anger according to literature but still a weaker association) When at least one variable is nominal, we can still talk about variables being associated, but (cid:498)direction(cid:499) isn"t an applicable descriptor.
