He posted a final exam info sheet on Blackboard. Here is a copy of it:
On the final, you will be asked to examine example datasets, summary statistics, and figures to answer the following types of questions (the emphasis will not be on performing calculations or constructing figures as in the first three exams):
• Given specific independent and dependent variables, determine how they should best be presented graphically (scatterplot vs. bar graph, appropriate axes for independent and dependent variables)
• Examine a histogram or a probability plot to determine outliers or normality
• Determine from a histogram or probability plot whether or not a given transformation has improved normality
• Determine from a boxplot whether or not data are skewed and whether or not two means are likely to be significantly different
• Determine whether the mean or median would be the most appropriate way to summarize central tendency
• Use a scatterplot to determine whether or not the relationship between two values is a positive or negative correlation
• Use a scatterplot to visually gauge how strong the relationship between two variables is
• Use a scatterplot or residuals to determine extreme values or outliers
• Use the equation of a trendline to predict specific values of y for x
• Interpret r, r2, and the output of a regression analysis
• Interpret the output of a t-test or ANOVA
• Use a P-value to determine whether or not a difference or relationship is statistically significant
