Topic 1 Statistical Analysis

Statistics and Data (pg 2) What is statistics? Why do we use statistics?

How is data collected in science? There are two types of data Quantitative Qualitative

Qualitative Data When collecting data you have to take into consideration the limitations of your measuring equipment How do you know the limitations?

Qualitative Data What if you don’t know the limitations?

Data In any experiment there should be an independent variable and a dependent variable

Mean - Average of data points Range – measure of the spread of data Basics Statistics Mean - Average of data points (4+6+8)/3 = 6 Range – measure of the spread of data 4,6,8 to find range 8-4=4

Standard Deviation and Graphing (pg4) Clustered around the mean Spread out X

2SD Standard Deviation 68% of all the data values (measurements) in a sample can be found between the mean +/- 1 standard deviation

Standard Deviation So if I said that in my Honors Biology class the average exam grade was an 85 with a standard deviation of 3.4 that means that 68% of students scored between a 81.6 and 88.4. 95% of students would fall in two standard deviations (between 78.2 and 91.8)

Standard Deviation and Graphing (pg 4) Error bars – Visual representation of the variability of data. Can show range or standard deviation.

Error bars

Graphing Title must include the dependent and independent variable Both axis labeled with units Always graph the mean Always include error bars Make a key when needed

t-test and Correlation (pg 6) The t-test assesses whether the means of two groups are statistically different from each other. In biology the critical probability is usually taken as 0.05 (or 5%). This means the difference is due to chance 5% of the time If P  > 5% then the two sets are the same If P  < 5% then the two sets are different

Correlation v. Causation What is correlation? What is causation? Does correlation imply causation?
