Stаt 100 Fоrmulа Sheet fоr Exаm 1 The margin оf error for a sample proportion from a random sample is around , where n is the sample size. It does not depend on the population size. Sampling types: simple random sampling; stratified sampling; cluster sampling; systematic sampling; non-probability sampling schemes such as voluntary, convenience, self-selected, haphazard. Comparative study types: observational versus experimental; retrospective versus prospective; matched pair and block designs; subject blinded, researcher blinded, double-blinded. Variable types: explanatory/ response/ confounding; categorical/ ordinal/ discrete measurement/ continuous measurement. Measurement issues: bias; reliability; validity. Sampling issues: low response rate; nonresponse bias; question wording issues; sampling frame not equal to population; small sample size with low reliability; non probability sampling schemes. Experiment issues: confounding variables; interacting variables; placebo effect; Hawthorne effect; experimenter effect; lack of ecological validity and generalizability. Observational study issues: confounding; claiming causation when only association is shown; extending the results inappropriately; using the past as a source of data. The five number summary: [minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile, maximum] Measures of location: mean; median. Measures of variability: standard deviation; IQR = Q3 - Q1. Measures of relative standing: percentiles; standard scores also known as z scores. Pictures of distributions: boxplots or histograms for measurement variables; pie charts or bar graphs for categorical variables; bar graphs for ordinal variables. Distribution shapes: skewed left; skewed right; symmetric; bimodal; normal bell shaped. Standardized score: = (value - average)/st. dev Observed value: mean + (standardized score)(st. dev) Empirical rule: if a distribution is close to the normal curve then about 68% of the values are within one standard deviation of the mean and 95% are within two standard deviations of the mean.
