Midterm Topics

Midterm Topics

The midterm may not cover everything, but every one of these topics is fair game.

• Type I and II errors, power
• Hypothesis tests for paired samples
• Hypothesis tests for two-sample means
• Sample size calculations for two-sample means
• ANOVA tables and their interpretation (one-way, two-way, factorial)
  • Hypotheses
  • Assumptions
  • Relationships between cells in an ANOVA table
  • Interactions between factors
  • Appropriate conclusions
• Multiple comparisons
  • Bonferroni correction
  • Tukey’s method
• Experimental design (when to use each design)
  • completely randomized
  • randomized block
  • factorial

Note: Previous quizzes are a good example of how I approach test questions.
