1. Whenever possible, __________ measures should be used to supplement __________ measures.
2. A __________ is one of a set of values that divide a set of scores into 100 groups of equal frequency.
3. A researcher is testing the hypothesis that anxiety scores are normally distributed. She collects anxiety scores and calculates a chi-square statistic equal to 47.96. The p value for this statistic is p < . 01. The researcher had set a (alpha) = .05 before conducting the test. The researcher can conclude, based upon this evidence, that __________.
4. The alpha level is usually set at _______.
5. A researcher hypothesizes that weight is normally distributed. She weighs 4000 subjects and sets their weights up in graphic form. The y-axis of the graph shows frequency and the x-axis shows the different values of weight. This graph is an example of a __________.
6. If the mean of a distribution of scores is greater than the median, the distribution is:
7. The normal curve is to __________ as a skewed distribution is to __________.
8. The __________ is computed by calculating the average squared distance of the scores from the mean and taking the square root of this value.
9. The Fahrenheit temperature scale has the __________ , and the Kelvin temperature scale has __________.
10. Measures are considered __________ if they are made with the subject's awareness, and if this awareness could lead to a bias in their results.
11. As the value of the chi-square statistic increases, there is greater evidence that the hypothesis being tested is:
12. When two subjects are assigned the same score on what is being measured when they, in fact, are identical on that property, the scale being used is said to have the __________.
