a. A number we compare our test statistic to in order to determine significance. In a sampling

distribution or a theoretical distribution approximating the sampling distribution, the critical

value shows us where the tail or tails are. The test statistic must fall in the tail to be significant.

b. Also called the Alpha Level. If the P-value is lower than this number, then the sample data

significantly disagrees with the null hypothesis and is unlikely to have happened by random

chance. This is also the probability of making a type 1 error.

c. A percentage or proportion involving two variables being true about the person or object, but

does not have a condition. There are generally two types (AND, OR).

d. The vertical distance between the regression line and a point in the scatterplot.

e. Statistical analysis that determines if there is a relationship between two different quantitative

variables.

f. When biased sample data leads you to support the alternative hypothesis when the alternative

hypothesis is actually wrong in the population.

g. A graph for visualizing the relationship between two quantitative ordered pair variables. The

ordered pairs (𝑥, 𝑦) are plotted on the rectangular coordinate system.

2

h. Data in the form of numbers that measure or count something. They usually have units and

taking an average makes sense.

i. Also called the line of best fit or the line of least squares. This line minimizes the vertical

distances between it and all the points in the scatterplot.

j. Collecting data from everyone in a population.

k. Statistical analysis that involves finding the line or model that best fits a quantitative

relationship, using the model to make predictions, and analyzing error in those predictions.

l. The probability of getting the sample data or more extreme because of sampling variability (by

random chance) if the null hypothesis is true.
