Powerpoints Quantitative Research

4 important questions on Powerpoints Quantitative Research

How do you determine statistical significance?


  • If (p ≤ 0.05), then the results are statistically significant, the deviation is not expected on the basis of normal fluctuation. H0 is then rejected (has become untenable/unachievable).

  • If (p> 0.05), then the results are not statistically significant, the difference is probable give normal fluctuation. H0 is then maintained (H1 is not tenable/achievable).


The lower the percentage, the more reliable your statement (hypothesis), because your margin of error is much smaller

What are the measures of spread?


  1. Variation width
  2. Interquartile distance
  3. Variance
  4. Standard deviation

What is variation width (range)?

The difference between the minimum and the maximum score

How are interquartiles determined?


In statistics, a quartile is one of three values that divides an ordered set of data, the sample or population into four (as good as possible) equal parts. Each part is then a quarter of the dataset. One speaks of the first, second and third quartiles and notes them as Q1, Q2 and Q3.

Interquartile distance = Q3 - Q1

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
