Significance

Cards (7)

  • What is significance?
    The relationship between two variables is strong enough to reject the null hypothesis - our results are unlikely to be due to chance
  • If the P value is more than 0.05, what does this mean?
    We accept the null
  • If the P value is less than 0.05, what does this mean?
    We reject the null
  • What are the three types of data?
    Nominal
    Ordinal
    Interval
  • What is nominal data?
    Categories - not qualitative (eg hair colour)
  • What is ordinal data?

    Data is ordered but there is no quantifiable difference between values (eg a scale)
  • What is interval level data?

    Labels variables with a natural order and a quantifiable difference (eg cm)
