  16. Writing Assignment – Pop Quiz Ari conducted a watermelon seed spitting experiment. She wanted to know if people can spit farther if they get a running start. She tested 100 people. She randomly assigned them into one of two groups. One group stood still on the starting line and spit their watermelon seeds as far as they could. The second group was allowed to run up to the starting line before they spit their watermelon seeds. She measured how far each person spit their watermelon seeds. Please answer the following questions 1. What is the independent variable? 2. The independent variable: Is it continuous or discrete? 3. The independent variable: Is it nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio? 4. What is the dependent variable? 5. The dependent variable: Is it continuous or discrete? 6. The dependent variable: Is it nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio? 7. Is this a quasi or true experiment? 8. Is this a within or between participant design 9. Is this a single blind, double blind or not at all blind experiment?

  21. Questionnaire Homework Variable label and scale values Variable label and scale values

  22. Questionnaire Homework What might you graph?

  23. Designed our study / observation / questionnaire Collected our data Organize and present our results

  24. Scatterplot displays relationships between two continuous variables Correlation: Measure of how two variables co-occur and also can be used for prediction Range between -1 and +1 The closer to zero the weaker the relationship and the worse the prediction Positive or negative

  25. Correlation Range between -1 and +1 +1.00 perfect relationship = perfect predictor +0.80 strong relationship = good predictor +0.20 weak relationship = poor predictor 0 no relationship = very poor predictor -0.20 weak relationship = poor predictor -0.80 strong relationship = good predictor -1.00 perfect relationship = perfect predictor

  26. Positive correlation: as values on one variable go up, so do values for the other variable Negative correlation: as values on one variable go up, the values for the other variable go down Height of Mothers by Height of Daughters Height ofMothers Positive Correlation Height of Daughters

  27. Positive correlation: as values on one variable go up, so do values for the other variable Negative correlation: as values on one variable go up, the values for the other variable go down Brushing teeth by number cavities BrushingTeeth Negative Correlation NumberCavities

  28. Perfect correlation = +1.00 or -1.00 One variable perfectly predicts the other Height in inches and height in feet Speed (mph) and time to finish race Positive correlation Negative correlation

  29. Correlation The more closely the dots approximate a straight line,(the less spread out they are) the stronger the relationship is. Perfect correlation = +1.00 or -1.00 One variable perfectly predicts the other No variability in the scatterplot The dots approximate a straight line

  30. Correlation

  31. Correlation does not imply causation Is it possible that they are causally related? Yes, but the correlational analysis does not answer that question What if it’s a perfect correlation – isn’t that causal? No, it feels more compelling, but is neutral about causality Number of Birthdays Number of Birthday Cakes

  32. Positive correlation: as values on one variable go up, so do values for other variable Negative correlation: as values on one variable go up, the values for other variable go down Number of bathrooms in a city and number of crimes committed Positive correlation Positive correlation

  33. Linear vs curvilinear relationship Linear relationship is a relationship that can be described best with a straight line Curvilinear relationship is a relationship that can be described best with a curved line

  34. Correlation - How do numerical values change? http://neyman.stat.uiuc.edu/~stat100/cuwu/Games.html http://argyll.epsb.ca/jreed/math9/strand4/scatterPlot.htm Let’s estimate the correlation coefficient for each of the following r = +.80 r = +1.0 r = -1.0 r = -.50 r = 0.0

  35. This shows the strong positive (.8) relationship between the heights of daughters (measured in inches) with heights of their mothers (measured in inches). 48 52 5660 64 68 72 Both axes and values are labeled Both axes and values are labeled Both variables are listed, as are direction and strength Height of Mothers (in) 48 52 56 60 64 68 72 76 Height of Daughters (inches)

  36. Break into groups of 2 or 3 Each person hand in own worksheet. Be sure to list your name and names of all others in your group Use examples that are different from those is lecture 1. Describe one positive correlation Draw a scatterplot (label axes) 2. Describe one negative correlation Draw a scatterplot (label axes) 3. Describe one zero correlation Draw a scatterplot (label axes) 4. Describe one perfect correlation (positive or negative) Draw a scatterplot (label axes) 5. Describe curvilinear relationship Draw a scatterplot (label axes)

  38. Describing Data Visually Lists of numbers too hard to see patterns 14 17 20 25 21 29 16 25 27 18 16 13 11 21 19 24 20 11 20 28 16 13 17 14 14 16 8 17 17 11 11 14 17 19 24 8 16 12 25 9 20 17 11 14 16 18 22 14 18 23 12 15 10 13 15 11 11 8 11 14 17 19 24 8 12 14 17 20 25 9 12 15 17 20 25 10 13 15 17 20 25 11 13 16 17 20 27 11 13 16 17 21 28 11 14 16 18 21 29 11 14 16 18 22 11 14 16 18 23 11 14 16 19 24 Organizing numbers helps Graphical representation even more clear This is a dot plot

Describing Data Visually 8 12 14 17 19 24 8 12 14 17 20 25 9 13 15 17 20 25 10 13 15 17 20 25 11 13 16 17 20 27 11 13 16 17 21 28 11 14 16 18 21 29 11 14 16 18 22 11 14 16 18 23 11 14 16 19 24 Measuring the “frequency of occurrence” Then figure “frequency of occurrence” for the bins We’ve got to put these data into groups (“bins”)

  40. Frequency distributions Frequency distributions an organized list of observations and their frequency of occurrence How many kids are in your family? What is the most common family size?

  41. Another example: How many kids in your family? Number of kids in family 1 3 1 4 2 4 2 8 2 14 14 4 2 1 4 2 3 2 1 8

  42. Frequency distributions Number of kids in family 1 3 1 4 2 4 2 8 2 14 How many kids are in your family? What is the most common family size? Crucial guidelines for constructing frequency distributions: 1. Classes should be mutually exclusive: Each observation should be represented only once (no overlap between classes) Wrong 0 - 5 5 - 10 10 - 15 Correct 0 - 4 5 - 9 10 - 14 Correct 0 - under 5 5 - under 10 10 - under 15 2. Set of classes should be exhaustive: Should include all possible data values (no data points should fall outside range) Correct 0 - 3 4 - 7 8 - 11 12 - 15 Wrong 0 - 3 4 - 7 8 - 11 No place for our family of 14!

  43. Frequency distributions Number of kids in family 1 3 1 4 2 4 2 8 2 14 How many kids are in your family? What is the most common family size? Crucial guidelines for constructing frequency distributions: 3. All classes should have equal intervals (even if the frequency for that class is zero) Correct 0 - 4 5 - 9 10 - 14 Wrong 0 - 4 8 - 12 14 - 19 Correct 0 - under 5 5 - under 10 10 - under 15 missing space for families of 5, 6, or 7

Selecting number of classes is subjective Generally 5 -15 will often work How about 6 classes? (“bins”) How about 16 classes? (“bins”) How about 8 classes? (“bins”)

  45. 8 12 14 17 19 24 8 12 14 17 20 25 9 13 15 17 20 25 10 13 15 17 20 25 11 13 16 17 20 27 11 13 16 17 21 28 11 14 16 18 21 29 11 14 16 18 22 11 14 16 18 23 11 14 16 19 24 5. Class width should be round (easy) numbers Lower boundary can be multiple of interval size Remember: This is all about helping readers understand quickly and clearly. Clear & Easy 8 - 11 12 - 15 16 - 19 20 - 23 24 - 27 28 - 31 Round numbers: 5, 10, 15, 20 etc or 3, 6, 9, 12 etc • 6. Try to avoid open ended classes • For example • 10 and above • Greater than 100 • Less than 50

Would intervals of 5 be easier to read?
