Document Summary
If not now, when: exam q: protein required for per protein to be transcribed=clock. Highest cognitive skill=evalauation: used a sample to determine what true population was=use 95% ci for your error bars, std dev: variability of indiv data points (around mean of sample of pop). Std error(sem): measure of precision for estimated pop mean: confidence interval(ci): range of value with probability that true parameter is within. 95% ci: estimate that true value lies b/w these intervals. Not 95% probability: assumptions: values=indep, random sampling form pop that has gaussian distribution. D: run a statiscal power analysis to determine if you have enough data pts. Inductive: informal, specific to general, inference about general, from specific observations, learn by experience. Conc: probable truth ex) see pebbles 3 days/row conc: will see tomorrow too: deductive reasoning: formal, general to specific, begin w/ general; predict consequences, logical(math). Conc: start with hypothesis, but conc valid, but not true.
