Match the following statistical concepts with their definitions:

Standard deviation = Measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values Hypothesis testing = Statistical method used to make inferences about a population parameter based on sample data Logarithmic shape = Representation of data in the form of logarithms T-test = Statistical test used to determine if there is a significant difference between the means of two groups

Match the following terms with their meanings:

H0 = Null hypothesis stating no significant difference or effect HA = Alternative hypothesis indicating a significant difference or effect UP/CP ratio = Albumin-to-creatinine ratio used to measure proteinuria in urine SD2 = Variance calculated as the sum of squared differences from the mean divided by the number of data points minus one

Match the following statistical calculations with their interpretations:

tCal = Calculated t-value used to compare with the critical t-value for hypothesis testing L1 and L2 = Limits for the population mean based on sample mean, standard deviation, and t-value P[L1 ≤ μ ≤ L2] = Probability that the population mean falls within the calculated limits based on sample data Sd = Standard deviation of the differences between paired data points

Match the following experimental procedures with their descriptions:

<p>Hypothesis testing for drug effectiveness = Determining if a drug has a significant effect on reducing proteinuria in patients with kidney damage using t-test Bacteria count analysis in milk samples = Assessing the impact of heating on bacteria count by comparing logarithmic values before and after heating Calculation of Sd in paired data = Measuring the variability between paired observations before and after an experimental treatment Calculation of t-value for significance level = Determining if the difference between sample mean and population mean is statistically significant</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the following statistical methods with their applications:

<p>Analysis of variance (ANOVA) = Comparing means of more than two groups to determine if there is a significant difference Chi-square test = Assessing the association between categorical variables in a contingency table Correlation coefficient calculation = Measuring the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two continuous variables Regression analysis = Modeling the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables</p> Signup and view all the answers
