You have a dataset you will analyze and calculate certain values. This is a theoretical dataset, so no actual calculations at this point. I am asking at this point what each of the following calculations means (what does it tell you?). You are welcome to use outside resources; this is not an assessment, but more a factfinding so as to make sure everyone has the same foundation for work later this semester. You likely know most (if not all) of this, I am just making sure. What is the difference between the universe and a sample? What is the difference between discrete and continuous data? Give an example of each. What does the mean tell you about a sample? What does the variance measure? What does the standard deviation mean? How is it related to variance? What is alpha? What is the standard alpha value used in ecology? What are confidence limits? What do indicate? What is the z-score? How is it used? What is the difference between a correlation and a regression? Both use coefficients; what does each measure? When would you use a chi-square test? What statistic does it produce? How is it interpreted? When would you use a t-test? What statistic does it produce? How is it interpreted? When would you use a ANOVA test? What statistic does it produce? How is it interpreted?

dataset, so no actual calculations at this point. I am asking at this point what each of the
following calculations means (what does it tell you?).

What is the difference between the universe and a sample?
A sample is a small portion or quantity which is meant to show the characteristic of the
whole. It is usually a smaller portion of a larger group. It is usually used in statistical
analysis when the studied subject is too large for the test to be done properly.
A universe is used to refer to the entire thing that is complete in itself. The means that
no portions or smaller quanti...
