- ARichtig
- BFalsch
4when the binomial distribution is used, the outcomes must be dependent

- A0
- B1/2
- C1
- Dit cannot be determined

9the total area under a normal distribution is infinite
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
10the standard normal distribution is a continuous distribution
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
11all variables that are approximately normally distributed can be transformed to standard normal variables
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
12the z value corresponding to a number below the mean is always negative
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
13the area under the standard normal distribution to the left of z=0 is negative
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
14the central limit theorem applies to means of samples selected from different populations
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
15the mean of the standard normal distribution is
- A0
- B1
- C100
- Dvariable
16approximately what percentage of normally distributed data values will fall within 1 standard deviation above or below the mean?
- A68%
- B95%
- C99.7%
- Dvariable
17which is not a property of the standard normal distribution?
- Ait's symmetric about the mean
- Bit's uniform
- Cit's bell shaped
- Dits unimodal
18when a distribution is positively skewed, the relationship of the mean, median, and mode from left to right will be?
- Amean, median, mode
- Bmode, median, mean
- Cmedian, mode, mean
- Dmean, mode, median
19the standard deviation of all possible sample means equals
- Athe population standard deviation
- Bthe population standard deviation divided by the population mean
- Cthe population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size
- Dthe square root of the population standard deviation
20Interval estimates are preferred over point estimates since the confidence level can be specified
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
21for a specific confidence interval, the larger the sample size, the smaller the margin of error will be.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
22an estimator is consistent if as the sample size decreases, the value of the estimator approaches the value of the parameter estimated
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
23to determine the sample size needed to estimate a parameter, you must know the margin of error
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
24when a 99% confidence interval is calculated instead of a 95% confidence interval with n being the same, the margin of error will be
- Asmaller
- Blarger
- Cthe same
- Dit cannot be determined

- Athe sample mean
- Bthe sample median
- Cthe sample mode
- Dthe sample midrange
26when the population standard deviation is unknown and the sample size is less than 30, what table value should be used in computing a confidence interval for a mean
- Az
- Bt
- Cchi-square
- Dnone of the above
27No error is committed when the null hypothesis is rejected when it is false
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
28when you are conducting the t test, the population must be approximately normally distributed
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
29the test value separates the critical region from the noncritical region
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
30the values of chi-square test cannot be negative
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
31the chi-square test for variance is always one tailed
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
32when the value of alpha is increased, the probability of committing a type 1 error is
- Adecreased
- Bincreased
- Cthe same
- Dnone of the above
33if you wish to test the claim that the mean of the population is 100, the appropriate null hypothesis is
- Ax(bar) = 100
- Bµ ≥ 100
- Cµ ≤ 100
- Dµ = 100
34the degrees of freedom for the chi-square test for variances or standard deviation are

- Bn
- Cn - 1
- Dnone of the above
35for the t test, one uses ________ instead of σ
- An
- Bs
- CX²
- Dt
36a negative relationship between two variables means that for the most part, as the x variable increases, the y variable decreases
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
37a correlation coefficient of -1 implies a perfect linear relationship between the variables
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
38even if the correlation coefficient is high (near +1) or low (near -1), it may not be significant
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
39when the correlation coefficient is significant, you can assume x causes y
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
40it is not possible to have a significant correlation by chance alone
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
41in multiple regression, there are several dependent variables and one independent variable
