Give two illustrations. 2 Hvorfor kan man bedre drage konklusioner vedrørende kausalitet med experimental research end med correlational research? Why can one better draw conclusions about causality in experimental research than in correlational research? 3 Givet de 3 værdier x = 4, 6, 8, hvad er Sum of Squared Errors og Variance? Given the three numbers x = 4, 6, 8, what is the Sum of Squared Errors and The Variance? 4 En test for Moral Sense hos børn har en standard afvigelse af 15. I en sample på 9 Moral Sense scores, hvad er Standard Error of the Mean? A test for Moral Sense in children has a standard deviation of 15. In a sample of 9 Moral Sense scores, what is the Standard Error of the Mean? 5 Hvad er inferential statistics? What are inferential statistics? 6 Hvad betyder effect size? What does effect size mean? 7 Kolmogorov-Smirnoff testen kan bruges til at teste for normalitet i en fordeling. Hvilken ulempe har testen ifølge Field?
The Kolmogorov-Smirnoff test can be used to test for the normality of a distribution. What disadvantage does the test have according to Field? 8 I en undersøgelse af børn finder man en korrelation på 0,4 mellem Moral Sense og Antallet af nære venner. Hvor meget varians deler de to variable, som procent? In a study of children a correlation of 0.4 is found between moral sense and number of close friends. How much variance do the two variables share, as a percentage? 9 En regressionslinje, der relater MoralSense til antal nære venner har en skæringsværdi (intercept) på 50 og en hældningskoefficient (slope) på 2. Hvad vil den forudset værdi for Moral Sense være, for et barn med 5 nære venner? A regression line relating Moral Sense to number of close friends has an intercept of 50 and a slope of 2. What would be the predicted value of a Moral Sense score for a child with 5 close friends? 10 I en undersøgelse over børn mellem 9 og 12 bliver en multiple regression gennemført med MoralSense som den afhængige (dependent) variabel og Gender (Køn), Age og CloseFriends som uafhængige (independent) variable. Resultaterne er vist i tabellen. A C Hvad er t værdien for Gender? Hvilken af de tre afhængige variable relaterer stærkest til MoralSense? Forklar dit valg. Hvad kan konkluderes fra de 3 VIF værdier? In a study of children between 9 and 12 a multiple regression is performed with MoralSense as the dependent variable and Gender, Age, and CloseFriends as the independent variables. The results are shown in the table.
A What is the t value for Gender? Which of the three independent variables is most strongly related to MoralSense? Explain your choice. C What can be concluded from the three VIF values?

12 I en undersøgelse over effekten af psykoterapi på højdeskræk ( vertigo ), gennemgår 21 patienter en psykoanalytisk terapi og 21 patienter gennemgår en kognitiv terapi. Deres autonome nervesystems arousal (GSR) på filmklip taget fra højder bliver målt på tre tidspunkter: før terapi, umiddelbart efter terapi, og et år efter terapi. Responserne er scoret på en skala fra 0 = lav arousal til 25 = høj arousal. In a study of the effect of psychotherapy on vertigo, 21 patients are treated with psychoanalytic therapy and 21 with cognitive therapy. Their autonomic nervous system s arousal (GSR) to film-clips taken from heights is recorded at three time-points, before therapy, immediately after therapy and one year after therapy. The responses are scored on a scale from 0 = low arousal to 25 = high arousal.
