Document Summary

Provide us with a way of determining how much confidence we can have in results obtained from samples by telling us how likely it is that our results are due only to chance. Doing a study on effect of alcohol on memory. The larger the sample is the better representation of the proximity of the population. You"re assuming the results that you find with this study, this will also hold true for the population. All the smart ones may have by chance ended in the braino group (fluke). You don"t know if your results are real. Real: you would find this result in the population. If p is equal or less that 0. 05 then results are significant. If p is greater than 0. 05 then results are just due to chance. If p = 0. 05=5%=5/100 (95% sure your results are real) Biology plus environment are part of psychology"s three bio psychosocial level of analysis.
