Science Terminology

4. A statistical measure that indicates the extent to which two variables change together.
5. The number of new individuals added to a population through reproduction.
11. A subset of the population selected for study, should be representative of the population!.
12. The death rate within a population.
15. Failing to reject a false null hypothesis (false negative).
17. The square root of the variance. A measure of the average distance between each data point and the mean
18. The average of the squared differences from the mean of a set of values
20. The number of individuals per unit area.
21. Change in numbers of individuals over time.

1. The standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size. A measure of the variability of the sample mean.
2. The situation where a species is present at a site, but it is not detected, leading to an incorrect assumption of absence.
3. A range of values that is likely to include the true population parameter with a certain level of confidence.
6. Density within one place and/or time period, relative to the density in another place and/or time period.
7. The birth rate within a population.
8. A group of interbreeding individuals of the same species living in a particular geographic area or volume.
9. A hypothesis that there is no significant difference or effect; often used as a default assumption in statistical tests.
10. The reproductive capacity or potential of individuals within a population.
13. The movement of individuals into a population or geographic area.
14. Variation in capture probabilities among individuals, which can be accounted for in models.
16. The movement of individuals out of a population or geographic area.
19. Information collected through observation, measurement, or experimentation.
