SOLUTION MANUAL FOR STATISTICS FOR THE
BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES FINAL PAPER SOLVED
QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE ANSWERS

◉ Discrete.
Answer: a finite number of values and there are gaps between
adjacent values [# of students] Ordinal + Nominal


◉ Independent.
Answer: The one thing you change in the experiment; the variable
you are observing and manipulating


◉ Dependent.
Answer: The change that happens because of the independent
variable


◉ Parametric.
Answer: statistical techniques that deal with looking at population
parameters and their distributions of values


◉ Nonparametric.
Answer: not looking at the distributions of those parameters

, ◉ Experimental research.
Answer: Involves groups created by the researcher; participants are
randomly assigned to these groups; the independent variable is said
to be manipulated


◉ Correlational research.
Answer: groups selected by the researcher; be cautious about
making causal conclusions
○ The difference between the two - in correlational research, you
cannot talk about causality


◉ The Cumulative Frequency Distribution.
Answer: sums the frequencies at and below a particular value;
determine the number of scores at or below your score


◉ Relative Frequency and Cumulative Relative Frequency
Distributions.
Answer: RF (frequency divided by N) Can determine the fraction of
scores at or below your score; CRF (cumulative frequency divided by
N)
