Frage 1

Frage
What is a population?
Antworten
  • A subset of a large group of people
  • A large group of observations (people, objects etc.) about which a researcher wants to draw conclusions
  • The number of people in a country
  • The number of people that comprise a demographic

Frage 2

Frage
What does descriptive statistics do?
Antworten
  • Make leaps and conclusions about a population from sample data
  • Describe the data in a meaningful way
  • Explain formulae, the theory behind the statistics
  • Compress and condense raw data in the world into a workable size

Frage 3

Frage
What is σ²M
Antworten
  • Standard variance of the population
  • Standard error of the mean
  • Standard deviation
  • Variance of sample

Frage 4

Frage
What are inferential statistics
Antworten
  • A tool to predict the sample based on population data
  • A tool to draw inferences about a population from sample data
  • A way to compress and consolidate sample data
  • A way to estimate and make decisions about sample statistics

Frage 5

Frage
What are the two inferential procedures
Antworten
  • Hypothesis testing and extrapolating
  • Estimation and interpolating
  • Estimation and hypothesis testing
  • Hypothesis testing and determining limitations

Frage 6

Frage
What is a confidence interval?
Antworten
  • How likely a particular value or set of values is in the given data
  • An estimation of the confidence results are significant
  • An estimation of the area that encompasses a particular value
  • A tool to define a prediction, i.e. is it true or not

Frage 7

Frage
What is hypothesis testing?
Antworten
  • How likely a particular value or set of values is in the given data
  • A way to test if the hypothesis can be applied to the entire population
  • A way to test if the hypothesis is valid
  • A tool to define a prediction regarding a statement about the population parameter, i.e. is it true or not

Frage 8

Frage
What is the sampling distribution?
Antworten
  • A hypothetical distribution of values of a particular population parameter made by repeatedly sampling "n" times from a sample and calculating the value of the statistic for each sample
  • A hypothetical distribution of values of a particular sample statistic made by repeatedly sampling "n" times from a population and calculating the value of the population parameter for each sample
  • A hypothetical distribution of values of a particular sample statistic made by repeatedly sampling "n" times from a population and calculating the value of the statistic for each sample

Frage 9

Frage
The standard error of the mean only refers to the [blank_start]experiment[blank_end] [blank_start]that you are doing now[blank_end], i.e. the behaviour of the averages collected [blank_start]in the experiment[blank_end], while the variance is the noise in the [blank_start]population[blank_end].
Antworten
  • experiment
  • population
  • sample
  • that you are doing now
  • parameter
  • statistic
  • that you did previously
  • in the experiment
  • for the population
  • in a previous experiment
  • populations
  • experiments
  • samples
  • sampling distributions

Frage 10

Frage
M is the unbiased estimate of μ
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 11

Frage
[blank_start]Variability[blank_end] tells you how much you can trust your [blank_start]experiment[blank_end]
Antworten
  • Variability
  • experiment

Frage 12

Frage
As 'n' gets larger, you get a better estimate of the [blank_start]true population mean[blank_end].
Antworten
  • true population mean

Frage 13

Frage
Decreasing standard deviation makes the σ²M more spread out, and pulls data away from the population mean.
Antworten
  • True
  • False
