- 1For a normal probability distribution, which of the following quantities represents the best value of the mean?c. the sum of observations divided by the number of observations
- 2Which of the following parameters of the normal probability function equals the average deviation from the most likely value of the variable?b. standard deviation (σ)
- 3True or false? To estimate the best value of the mean, one must know the standard deviationfalse
- 4True or false? To estimate the best value of the mean, one must know the sample size.true
- 5True or false? The best value of the mean will minimize the sum of squares.true
- 6True or false? The best value of the mean will minimize the standard deviation.true
- 7True or false? The standard deviation is typically smaller than the sum of squares.true
- 8True or false? The standard deviation increases as the range of observed values increases.true
- 9True or false? For a given number of observations, the standard deviation increases as the sum of squares increases.true
- 10True or false? The standard deviation increases as the probability of observing the mean value increases.false
