EPSE 449 QUIZZES FINAL TEST 2026
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◍ true/false:Email the instructor if you have questions about how the course
works.
Answer: false
◍ Guidelines for Conducting ALL Types of Quantitative Analysis.
Answer: 1. Select tests a priori2. Run all the tests identified3. Report all the
tests that were run
◍ The ANOVA test is appropriate for....
Answer: analyzing differences among three or more group means and is
applied to avoid the error of multiple comparisons
◍ Unit of Analysis.
Answer: The definition of the major entity that will be considered a
"subject" for analysis
◍ The researcher must make decisions about the appropriateness of a
statistical test based on the following factors:.
Answer: - The requirements of the research question- The number of groups
to be tested- The level of measurement of the independent and dependent
variables - The statistical and mathematical assumptions of the test
◍ Thee styles of qualitative analysis.
Answer: template analysis, editing analysis, and immersion/crystallization
analysis
◍ There are essentially three versions of this test that can be applied to
determine differences in mean values:.
, Answer: 1. The one-sample t test quantifies the difference between a mean
value in a sample and a mean value in the larger population. For example, a
one- sample t test could test the difference between a hospital's mean length
of stay and the national average.2. The independent-samples t test quantifies
the difference between the mean in one group and the mean in another
group. An example would be a test to determine if mean lengths of stay
were different for rural and urban hospitals. This t test variant could also be
used as a test of effectiveness by comparing the mean in an experimental
group to the value for a control group. For example, an independent-samples
t test would be appropriate to determine if units that relied on standard
orders sets had a shorter length of stay than units that did not.3. The
paired-samples t test quantifies the difference between a mean value
measured in the same group over time. For example, a paired-sample t test
could be used to answer questions about average length of stay before and
after a change in Medicare reimbursement.
◍ Codebook.
Answer: A guide for the qualitative analysis that outlines individual codes
with definitions, criteria for inclusion, and examples
◍ true/false:Discussion forums remain accessible for posting and/or replying
through the end of the semester.
Answer: false
◍ Cohen's Kappa.
Answer: A measure of inter-rater or inter-coder reliability between two
raters or coders. The test yields the percentage of agreement and the
probability of error- Generates p value for probability that random error was
responsible for agreement
◍ Decision Trail.
Answer: A detailed description of the researcher's decision rules for data
categorization and inferences made in the analysis
◍ Parametric tests.
Answer: Statistical tests that are appropriate for data that are normally
