According to the , a distribution of sample means will approximate a normal distribution even if the distribution of scores from the population is skewed.
2

The number of scores that are free to vary in a sample of a given size with a known mean is known as the .
3

statistics have no assumptions concerning the distribution of scores underlying your data.
4

If you decided not to reject the null hypothesis and it was, in fact, false, you have committed a error.
5

The that you adopt is really the probability that the observed difference between your sample means could have occurred purely through sampling error.
6

The hypothesis stating that sample means were drawn from different populations is called the .
7

In the analysis of variance, the total variance is partitioned into variation and variation.
8

If you do not have specific, preexperimental hypotheses about which of your multiple groups differ, must do .
9

is the error rate that takes into account the probability of making at least one Type I error as the number of comparisons increases.
10

A(n) between variables indicates that your variables are related in a complex manner.
11

Generally speaking, nonparametric statistics are than parametric statistics.
12

Reducing alpha (for example, from .05 to .01) leads to a(n) in power.
13

tells you the probability of your findings if chance alone is operating, whereas refers to how "important" your findings are.
14

A(n) changes the magnitude of the numbers in a distribution but not the scale of measurement.
15

Some researchers advocate the use of as a reasonable substitute for inferential statistics for testing the reliability of data.
