Advanced Statistics ­ Study Guide Exam 3


Since statistics are cumulative, you need to be familiar with all of the statistical procedures we have covered so far:
Chi-square
T-tests
Correlation (pearson's and spearman's - you should know the difference between the two)
Regression (you should be able to make a scatter graph and draw a regression line on it).
One-way Anova
Factorial Designs
You should be able to use G Power to calculate power.
You should be able to enter the data by hand if necessary for any of these statistical procedures and you should able to interpret your results and make graphs if asked for.
You should be able to cut and paste output and graphs from SPSS or Excel into word.
You should be able to generate syntax if necessary and you should be able to modify syntax to conduct tests for simple effects.
You should be able to interpret you results.
You should be able to interpret output if given to you. You should also be able to determine what procedure was used to create the output.
If you are familiar with the material and how it was covered on Exam 2 you should be fine with procedures we have already covered. If you are familiar with the material from the homework and how to write it up in APA style you will well on the exam.
THERE WILL NOT BE ANY MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS ­ THIS TIME. So practice your stats and write-ups. This should all be stuff you are familiar with and have had ample feedback on thanks to Jen. Make sure you are fluent with the procedures so you don’t get stuck and run out of time.
Let me know if you have any questions.
