Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
What is a population?
Responda
  • 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

Questão 2

Questão
What does descriptive statistics do?
Responda
  • 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

Questão 3

Questão
What is σ²M
Responda
  • Standard variance of the population
  • Standard error of the mean
  • Standard deviation
  • Variance of sample

Questão 4

Questão
What are inferential statistics
Responda
  • 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

Questão 5

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

Questão 6

Questão
What is a confidence interval?
Responda
  • 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

Questão 7

Questão
What is hypothesis testing?
Responda
  • 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

Questão 8

Questão
What is the sampling distribution?
Responda
  • 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

Questão 9

Questão
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].
Responda
  • 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

Questão 10

Questão
M is the unbiased estimate of μ
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 11

Questão
[blank_start]Variability[blank_end] tells you how much you can trust your [blank_start]experiment[blank_end]
Responda
  • Variability
  • experiment

Questão 12

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

Questão 13

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