Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
Select the right answer. With the help of inferential statistics, we can :
Respuesta
  • Making conclusions from a sample about the population
  • Conclude if a sample selected is statistically significant to the whole population or not
  • Compare two models to find which one is more statistically significant as compared to the other.
  • We can do feature selection, whether adding or removing a variable helps in improving the model or not.
  • Hypothesis testing.
  • All

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
Standard Error is the amount of variation in the _________ data. It is related to Standard Deviation as σ/√n, where, n is the _________ size.
Respuesta
  • Sample
  • Population

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
A Sampling Distribution is a probability distribution of a statistic (Mean/Median/Mode) obtained through a large number of samples drawn from a specific population.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
A Sampling Distribution behaves much like a normal curve and has some interesting properties like :
Respuesta
  • The shape of the Sampling Distribution does not reveal anything about the shape of the population.
  • Sampling Distribution helps to estimate the population statistic.
  • Both.

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
Central Limit Theorem states that: When plotting a sampling distribution of means, the mean of sample means will be equal to the population mean. And the sampling distribution will approach a normal distribution with variance equal to σ/√n where σ is the standard deviation of population and n is the sample size.
Respuesta
  • False
  • True

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
Greater the sample size, lower the standard error and greater the accuracy in determining the population mean from the sample mean?
Respuesta
  • False
  • True

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
No matter the shape of the population distribution, be it bi-modal, right-skewed, etc. The shape of the Sampling Distribution will remain the same (normal curve)?
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
For a sampling distribution: The number of samples has to be sufficient (generally more than 50) to satisfactorily achieve a normal curve distribution. We also have to keep the sample size fixed since any change in sample size will change the shape of the sampling distribution and it will no longer be bell-shaped?
Respuesta
  • False
  • True

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
As we increase the sample size, the sampling distribution squeezes from both sides giving a better estimate of the population statistic since it lies somewhere in the middle of the sampling distribution (generally).
Respuesta
  • False
  • True

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
The confidence interval is a type of interval estimate from the ___________ distribution which gives a range of values in which the population statistic may lie.
Respuesta
  • Sampling
  • Population

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in the results of a survey.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
Margin of Error________ the width of Confidence Interval
Respuesta
  • 1/2
  • 1/4th

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
Which of the following points are true for confidence intervals?
Respuesta
  • Confidence Intervals can be built with different degrees of confidence suitable to a user’s needs like 70 %, 90% etc.
  • Greater the sample size, smaller the Confidence Interval
  • There are different confidence intervals for different sample means. For example, a sample mean of 40 will have a different confidence interval from a sample mean of 45.
  • 95% Confidence Interval, does not mean that the probability of a population mean to lie in an interval is 95%. Instead, 95% C.I means that 95% of the Interval estimates will contain the population statistic.
  • All of the above.

Respuesta

Respuesta
  • False
  • True
