Arithmetic Mean, Error, Percent Error, and Percent Deviation

The statistical tools you'll either love or hate! These are the calculations that most
chemistry professors use to determine your grade in lab experiments, specifically
percent error. Of all of the terms below, you are probably most familiar with
"arithmetic mean", otherwise known as an "average".
Mean -- add all of the values and divide by the total number of data points

Error -- subtract the theoretical value (usually the number the professor has
as the target value) from your experimental data point.
Percent error -- take the absolute value of the error divided by the theoretical
value, then multiply by 100.
Deviation -- subtract the mean from the experimental data point

Percent deviation -- divide the deviation by the mean, then multiply by 100:

1. Independent one sample T-test is used to test whether the average of a
sample differs significantly from a population mean

TYPE THE ANSWER

2. AKA Mantel-Haenszel Test; hypothesis test for association between two
variables while controlling for or more nuisance or control variables

TYPE THE ANSWER

3. measures how far the results are from the expected results

TYPE THE ANSWER

4. Average

TYPE THE ANSWER

5. A measure of center in a set of numerical data. The median of a list of values
is the value appearing at the center of a sorted version of the list - or the
mean of the two central values if the list contains an even number of values.

test for independence of two attributes
1. Chi-square

4 True/False questions
1. The distance of a value in a population (or sample) from the mean value of
the population (or sample). Standard Error of the Mean
True False
2. Standard deviation over square root of sample size Standard Error of the
Mean
True False

3. Dependent T-test for paired samples used when samples are paired; implies
that each individual observation of one sample has a unique corresponding
member in the other sample T-test
True False

4. a paired version of Chi-square test- a form of chi-square test for matched

paired data which is used to compare paired proportions; can be used to
analyze retrospective case-control studies (each case matched to a control)
or can be used to analyze experimental studies (two treatments given to
matched subjects) McNemar Test for Paired Data
True False
