21 Terms

1

Blocking

Grouping already selected subjects into subgroups (blocks) and then randomly assigning each block to treatments.

New cards
2

Purpose of blocking

To reduce variability so that differences can be more easily seen.

New cards
3

Direct control

A method to reduce variability for clearer observation of differences.

New cards
4

Completely randomized experiment design

The most common type of experiment where subjects are randomly assigned to treatments.

New cards
5

Matched pairs experiment

An experimental design where either both treatments are given to a single individual or subjects are matched based on similar characteristics before randomizing treatments.

New cards
6

Point of matched pairs experiments

To reduce within-subject variability.

New cards
7

Control group

A group that receives no treatment, used for comparison against a treatment group.

New cards
8

Placebo

A treatment that appears identical to another but contains no active ingredients, serving as a secret control group.

New cards
9

Single blind

An experimental design where subjects do not know which treatment they are receiving, but the measurers do.

New cards
10

Double blind

An experimental design where neither the subjects nor the measurers know which treatment is being administered, although the experimenter does.

New cards
11

Dot plot

A chart used for displaying numerical data.

New cards
12

Bar chart

A chart used for displaying categorical data.

New cards
13

Mosaic chart

In this chart, each bar's width represents its frequency.

New cards
14

Random selection using random numbers

Choose two numbers at a time, where 01-30 represent people, ignoring 31-99 and repeats until three people are selected.

New cards
15

Number of classes for a histogram

Calculated as the square root of the number of observations.

New cards
16

Class width/intervals

Determined by the formula class width = (high - low) / number of classes.

New cards
17

Left skewed

Another term for negatively skewed data.

New cards
18

Right skewed

Another term for positively skewed data.

New cards
19

Fixing unequal intervals

Achieved by dividing the frequency by the width, known as density.

New cards
20

Bad graphing practices

Poor scaling, such as not starting at zero, can exaggerate differences in graphs.

New cards
21

Scatter plots

Used for displaying bivariate data (numerical data).
