Today’s Agenda • Final Exam Review • Final CAOS and Attitudes Survey • Lab Evaluations 2

Important Dates • Today is the last lab of the semester • HW 12 due Monday April 14 th before 6 pm 30, 2237 Chem HW bins • Graded HW 11 & HW 12 in 2237 Chem HW bins, Wed and Thu, April 16 th and 17 th • Final exam Thu, April 17 th 7 pm 30 -9 pm 30 Material: all lectures/labs/HWs 3

Since Exam 2… • We’ve covered three major topics – ANOVA – Regression – Chi-square (covered this week in lectures) • Do you know when it is appropriate to use each? 4

ANOVA • Extension of pooled 2 -independent samples t-test • Do you know how to find an estimate of the common population variance? • Do you know when it is appropriate to use Tukey’s Multiple Comparisons procedure, and how to interpret this output? 5

Regression • Used to find linear relationship between two quantitative variables • Do you know how to test if there is a significant linear relationship? • Do you know what the assumptions for this test are, and how to check them? 6

Suppose we want to explore the relationship between Exam 1 scores and Exam 2 scores. Which procedure would be appropriate? A) ANOVA B) Regression C) Chi-square test of independence 7

A statistics instructor produces this scatterplot and regression line to see if her students' exam scores can be predicted from their scores on a standard test of mathematical ability. What do the numbers on the vertical axis represent? A) Statistics exam scores B) The number of people earning each exam score C) Mathematics ability scores 8

The correlation between height and weight for a certain breed of plant is found to be 0. 8. What proportion of the variability in plant weight is NOT explained by height? A) B) C) D) 1 -0. 8 = 0. 2 (0. 8)2 = 0. 64 1 -(0. 8) 2 = 0. 36 (1 -0. 8) 2 = 0. 04 9

Suppose we want to compare the average Exam 2 scores for each of the 4 academic classes (e. g. Freshman, Sophomore). Which procedure would be appropriate? ANOVA Regression Chi-square test of independence 10

Using the ANOVA table, what is an estimate of the common population variance? 300. 958 55. 517 11

True or False The ANOVA table below provides evidence that all of the population means tested are different from each other. 12
