1The statistical difference in data is directly correlated to its biological importance.
- ATrue
- BFalse
2Statistical difference is relative to [blank_start]variation[blank_end] in the dataset, and tells you [blank_start]nothing[blank_end] about the actual biology. The biological importance of the dataset is the effect of the [blank_start]statistical difference[blank_end], and is the primary subject of the "[blank_start]discussion[blank_end]" portion of a paper.

26TYPES OF RANDOMIZATION
[blank_start]Random Selection with Replacement[blank_end]
1. Tag entire population
2. Random Draw
3. Replace individual in population
4. [blank_start]Probability of selection is constant[blank_end]
[blank_start]Theoretically the best way.[blank_end]
[blank_start]Random Selection without Replacement[blank_end]
1. Tag entire population
2. Random Draw
3. Measure Inividual
4. Do not place back into population
5. [blank_start]Probability of selection changes[blank_end]
Can get around by using same measurement if drawn again
[blank_start]Haphazard Selection[blank_end]:
1. Don't tag anything
2. No random draw
3. Measure Individual
4. Replacement is irrelevant
5. [blank_start]No probability of selection[blank_end]
[blank_start]The worst kind of selection[blank_end], though it is still often used- ARandom Selection without Replacement

27As sample size (n) increases, the t-value [blank_start]decreases[blank_end], the standard error (SE) [blank_start]decreases[blank_end], and the confidence interval (CI) [blank_start]narrows[blank_end].
