When a person receives an email questionnaire and places it in their deleted items without responding, they are contributing to . Non-response error 12. The difference between a sample mean and the population mean is called the . Sampling error Introduction to hypothesis Testing (Section 5) 13. A type I error occurs when we . Reject a true null hypothesis 14. In a criminal trial where the null hypothesis states that the defendant is innocent, a Type II error is made when . A guilty defendant is found not guilty 15. The p-value of the test is the . The largest a at which a null hypothesis cannot be rejected Probability (Section 3) 16. Initial estimates of the probabilities of events are known as . Prior Probabilities 17. If the outcome of event A is not affected by event B, then events A and B are said to be . Independent 18. The collection of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called . A sample space 19. Suppose P(A) = .35. The probability of the complement of A is . .65 Inference about a Population (Section 6) 20. An unbiased estimator is . A sample Statistic, which has an expected value equal to the value of the population parameter QUIZ Section 1- A company has developed a new smartphone whose average lifetime is unknown. In order to estimate this average, 200 smartphones are randomly selected from a large production line and tested. Their average lifetime is found to be 5 years. 200 smartphones represents a . Sample Which of the following is a measure of reliability of a statistical inference? Significance level The process of using sample statistics to draw conclusions about population parameters is called . Doing inferential statistics Which of the following statements involve descriptive statistics as opposed to inferential statistics?

A population of all college applicants exists who have taken the SAT exam in the US in the last year. A parameter of the population are . SAT Scores QUIZ Section 2 -Which of the following statements is true regarding the design of a good survey? The questions should be kept as short as possible -Which method of data collection is involved when a researcher counts and records the number of students wearing backpacks on campus in a given day? Direct Observation -Manager at electronics store wants to know if customers who purchased video recorder over the last 12 months are satisfied with their products. If there are 4 different brands of video recorders made by the company, which sampling strategy would be best to use? Stratified random sample -Which of the following types of samples are almost always biased?

Exhaustive Which statement is not correct? If event A does not occur, then its compliment Ai will also not occur QUIZ Section 4- The concept that allows us to draw conclusions about the population based strictly on sample data without having any knowledge about the distribution of the underlying population is . The central limit theorem Each of the following are characteristics of the sampling distribution of the mean except . If the original population is not normally distributed, the sampling distribution of the mean will also be approximately normal for large sample sizes -Suppose you are given 3 numbers that relate to the number of people in a university sample. The three numbers are 10,20,30. If the standard deviation is 10, the standard error equals . 5.77 You are tasked with finding the standard deviation. You are given 4 numbers. Numbers are 5, 10, 15, and 20. The standard deviation equals. 6.455 Two methods exist to create a sampling distribution. Once involves using parallel samples from a population and the other is to use the . Rules of probability QUIZ Section 5 The hypothesis of most interest to the researcher is the . Alternative Hypothesis A Type I error occurs when . Reject a true null hypothesis Statisticians can translate p values into several descriptive terms. Suppose you typically reject H0 at a level of .05. Which of the following statements is incorrect? If the p value <.01, there is overwhelming evidence to infer that the alternative hypothesis is false. In a criminal trial where the null hypothesis states that the defendant is innocent a type I error is made when . An innocent person is found guilty To take advantage of the information of a test result using the rejection region method and make a better decision on the basis of the amount of statistical evidence we can analyze the . P Value Quiz Section 6 An unbiased estimator is . A sample Statistic, which has an expected value equal to the value of the population parameter Thirty-six months were randomly sampled and the discount rate on new issues of 91-day Treasury Bills was collected. The sample mean is 4.76% and the standard deviation is 171.21. What is the unbiased estimate for the mean of the population? 4.76% a 98% confidence interval estimate for a population mean is determined to be 75.38 to 86.52. If the confidence level is reduced to 90%, the confidence interval for the population mean Becomes Narrower Suppose the population of blue whales is 8,000. Researchers are able to garnish a sample of oceanic movements from 100 blue whales from within this population. Thus Researchers can ignore the finite population correction factor In the sample proportion, represented by p=x/n the variable x refers to: The number of succeses in the sample QUIZ Section 7 Distribution of the test statistic for the analysis of variance is the .
