Fall 2022 | Quantitative Analysis in Social Science Research | SOC202H1
Test Structure
• The test will be administered as a Quercus Quiz, remotely.
• You will have 24 hours during which to complete the test.
• Once you start, you will have 2 hours to complete the test.
• There will be about 30 multiple-choice and 4-5 open-ended questions on the test.
• Both types of questions will be pulled randomly (and in random order) from a question
bank, so that no two tests are alike.
• You must complete the questions in the order they are given and you will not have the
opportunity to go back or revise your answers.
Test Day Procedures
• The test will become available to you at 2:00PM EST on December 13th, 2020. It will be
available until 2:00PM EST the following day (December 14th).
• Find a quiet place, with reliable Internet connectivity, where you can be relatively
interruption-free for 2 hours.
• There are several calculation questions for which you can obtain partial credit. These
will be marked on the test. You can show your work by typing your intermediate
calculations directly in the textbox where you answer the question. Be sure to clearly
indicate your final answers.
• You should round your final answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round during
intermediate steps.
• If you experience unexpected technical problems during the exam, contact Professor
Dokshin as soon as possible (fedor.dokshin@utoronto.ca).
What You Will Need for the Test
Calculator: You will need a calculator for the tests and the final exam. All you need is a
calculator with basic mathematical functions (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division)
and a square root function.
Z/t/F/chi-square statistics tables: I recommend you use the copies available on Quercus, on
the “Answers to textbook practice problems and other handouts” Page. Print the tables out or
open it in a PDF reader for easy access.
Formula sheet: You may use the formulas on the inside cover of the textbook. I’ve uploaded a
copy of these to Quercus on the “Answers to textbook practice problems and other handouts”
page. Consider printing these out or opening the file in a PDF reader for easy access.
Study Guide for Final Assessment on Friday, December 13th-14th
Fall 2022 | Quantitative Analysis in Social Science Research | SOC202H1
Test Material
The final assessment is cumulative. About 80% of the questions will focus on the material
covered after the midterm assessment (weeks 7-12), and about 20% of the questions test
material covered in weeks 1-6.
The final exam will cover content listed in the study guides for the first midterm assessment
and all the concepts listed in the glossaries at the end of chapters 7-14 with the exception of:
• Using confidence intervals for hypothesis testing (Chapters 10.6 and 11.5). Note: You
must still know how to construct a confidence interval as part of your estimation
procedure (Chapter 6).
• phi (Ch. 8)
• eta-squared (Ch. 12)
• post hoc analysis (Ch. 12)
• homoscedasticity (Ch. 13)
• partial correlations (Ch. 14)
Note also that for one-sample and two-sample hypothesis testing, you can ignore formulas that
rely on population standard deviation (σ). I will always ask you to estimate the standard
deviation from the sample (I.e., you will not be given the population standard deviation).
Finally, for chapters 13 and 14, focus on the following:
Chapter Glossaries What you should focus on:
13 p. 441 • Correlation coefficient r
o you won’t have to calculate the correlation coefficient or
regression slopes (or calculate the test statistic for the
correlation coefficient)
o you are expected to know how to interpret the
correlation coefficient (including assumptions, see
section 13.7 of textbook) and calculate the coefficient of
determination based on a given r
• Scatter plots
• Bivariate regression: logic and interpretation (you are not
expected to know how to calculate the regression slope)
14 p. 479/480 • Relationships between variables:
o Spurious relationships
o Intervening relationships
• Multivariate/multiple regression:
o The focus will be entirely on the interpretation of
multiple regression/partial correlations, not the
calculation
o Know how to interpret: Unstandardized and standardized
("Beta Weights") partial slopes, the constant (Y-
interecept), R2, N
Make sure you know which hypothesis test is appropriate for different situation/question!
Here are some tips for what to pay attention to when conducting hypothesis tests:
Fall 2022 | Quantitative Analysis in Social Science Research | SOC202H1
• First review the given information and identify the variables involved (number of
variables, type of variable/level of measurement)
• Identify the research question (e.g. is the researcher interested in testing the difference
between a sample mean and a population mean? Or two means? Etc.)
• Did we formulate a one-tailed or two-tailed research hypothesis?
• Don't forget to check test assumptions and requirements: EPSEM sample, level of
measurement, etc.
Study Strategies
1. Use the glossaries as a guide to make sure you understand all the central concepts.
2. Studying together with other class members will help you in at least two ways: You can find
someone to help you understand parts of the class material or figure out how to tackle
practice problems. But more importantly, if you have to explain something to a friend, you
will know whether you truly understood the concept, and it will help you to get an even
better understanding yourself.
3. Complete practice examples at the end of each chapter or some of the cumulative exercises
at the end of each of the three parts of the textbook. You find the answers to the odd
numbered problems in the appendix (pp. 535).
4. If something is unclear to you:
a. Write down which parts/steps you do understand. Then write down the specific
questions you still have.
b. Re-read the relevant textbook passages, revisit the lecture slides, and revisit Aplia
homeworks (Aplia homeworks for prior weeks are available for review)
c. There are several ways to get help:
• Post a question on the discussion board.
• Attend the review session
• When: Wednesday, December 7th, 12:30pm-2:30pm
• Zoom: https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/88379856974; passcode: 072709
