Quiz Fourteen covering Experimental Research and Field Research closes on Monday, May 5 at 6 p.m..

Final Exam Friday May 9, 9 a.m. in FA110.  Bring a pencil and a calculator.  The exam will be similar in format to the midterm.   There will be two pages of statistical questions followed by approximately 50 multiple choice items.  It will cover the entire semester.  The multiple choice questions will be similar to those we have had on the weekly exams.   The best way to review is probably to read the summaries at the end of each chapter of the book and to try the sample items in the Optional Review for the Final Exam in SAKAI.  When you don't understand something in the review, look it up in the book.    There is also an Optional Statistics Review Exam.  These review exams are not for credit, they are for review.  When you take them, the software will give you the correct answers.

The Statistics we need to know are summarized on the statistics review sheet.  You should be able to:
    Compute descriptive statistics for continuous distributions:   mean, median, mode, standard deviation, range. (explained here; practice items hereanswers to the practice items here). 
    Compute row percents, column percents, total percents for cross-tabulation tables. (explained on the WEB Page for Week Five, scroll down).  We will not do expected frequencies.
    Compute margins of error for percentages and mean scores and the sample size required to obtain a desired margin of error  (explained here)
     Use a regression equation to compute a predicted dependent variable from a value for an independent variable.  This was part of the Excel Regression assignment.  An  example is below
