how likely an experiment had its outcome from chance (P < 0.05 to be significant)

something fake given to someone that they think is real

one long continuous study that can last years for one specific group of participants (Ex: one group of people from birth to death)

research that needs to split groups apart to not have one long continuous study (Ex: multiple different age groups)

shows how much two variables correlate to each other

when the participants do not know they are in a study

when neither the participants or experimenters know they are in a study
