ANOVA test Analysis of variance (ANOVA) may be used in research studies
where there are two or more groups to compare.
Chi-square tests Chi-square tests determine if an association exists between
two categorical variables.
Control group In a healthcare environment, this group of patients does not
receive the treatment that is being studied.
Experimental group This group of patients receives the treatment being studied
with follow-up observation to determine the effect of the
treatment.
F-test The F-test is designed to test if two population variances are
equal. The ratio of the two variances is compared. If they are
equal, the ratio of the variances will be 1.

Frequency Frequencies measure how often a particular value occurs to
assess the importance of a value or check the variation of the
values in a study.
Hypothesis A proposed explanation for an observation that leads to a
prediction. Through investigation and the use of statistical
data, those doing the study will either confirm or reject the
hypothesis. Testing the hypothesis will show if there is a link (or
not) between two or more variables.
Integrity Research always makes some assumptions, depending on the
type of method used. Research assumptions must be
identified to determine possible breaches of integrity.
Interval data Interval data includes units of equal size, such as IQ results.
There is no zero point. An example of interval scale is time:
Time is measured in 24 hours in each day; the time between
each hour is the same, 60 minutes.

Mean Mean is the arithmetic average. Divide the sum of all scores by
the total number of scores.
Median Median is the midpoint of the distribution of values, or the
point above or below which 50 percent of the values fall.
Methods section components When analyzing the quality of a study, a careful evaluation of
the research methods can reveal critical details about
population and sample, covariables and hypothesis, data
presentation, statistical analysis, and study limitations.
Misleading statistics Interpreting and presenting the results of data analysis affords
many opportunities for accidental or deliberate
misrepresentations of data. Common examples include
implying causation, extrapolating beyond the reasonable,
relying on a biased or incomplete sample, and using
inappropriate graphical representations.
Mode Mode is the value that occurs most frequently in the data.
