A quasi-experimental study is a research design that shares similarities with experimental research but lacks randomization and/or a control group. In other words, it involves manipulating the independent variable but lacks some of the key elements of a true experimental design, such as randomly assigning participants to different groups or conditions. Quasi-experimental studies are often… Read More »
Simple linear regression is a statistical technique used to study the relationship between two continuous variables, where one variable is considered the dependent variable and the other variable is considered the independent variable. The goal of simple linear regression is to develop a linear equation that best describes the relationship between the two variables. The… Read More »
A confidence interval is a range of values that is used to estimate an unknown population parameter with a certain degree of confidence, based on a sample from that population. It is a statistical tool that helps us to make inferences about the population based on the information we have from the sample. In other… Read More »
T-test is a statistical hypothesis test used to determine whether there is a significant difference between the means of two groups of data. It is a common test used in many fields, including medicine, psychology, and social sciences. The t-test compares the means of two groups and calculates a t-value, which is a measure of… Read More »
