Statistical Questions
Excercises from OpenIntro §1
Several of these questions draw from Study 4 of the following paper (although I don't think it critical to look back at that paper to answer of the questions):
- Piff, Paul K., Daniel M. Stancato, Stéphane Côté, Rodolfo Mendoza-Denton, and Dacher Keltner. 2012. “Higher Social Class Predicts Increased Unethical Behavior.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 109(11):4086–91. [Available through UW Libraries]
- Exercise 1.6 about identifying cases, variables, types, and research questions
- Exercise 1.12 about populations, samples, and generalizability
- Exercise 1.52 about means and medians from a histogram
- Exercise 1.56 about skewness and choosing appropriate statistics
- Excercise 1.64 about selecting certain types of visualizations over others
Empirical Paper
- Kramer, Adam D. I., Jamie E. Guillory, and Jeffrey T. Hancock. 2014. “Experimental Evidence of Massive-Scale Emotional Contagion through Social Networks.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 111(24):8788–90. [Available through UW libraries]
Programming Challenges
Because this is our first week, there are no programming challenges this week.
