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.
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.
Pregunta 4
Pregunta
A Sampling Distribution behaves much like a normal curve and has some interesting properties like :
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.
Pregunta 6
Pregunta
Greater the sample size, lower the standard error and greater the accuracy in determining the population mean from the sample mean?
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)?
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?
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).
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.
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in the results of a survey.
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
Margin of Error________ the width of Confidence Interval
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.
Pregunta 14
Pregunta

Respuesta
-
Sample, Population

Population, Sample
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
Null hypothesis is a type of hypothesis in which we assume that sample observations are not by chance. They are affected by some non-random situation. It is denoted by H1 or Ha.
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
Alternate Hypothesis is a type of hypothesis in which we assume that the sample observations are purely by chance. It is denoted by H0.
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
Hypothesis Testing is done on different levels of confidence and makes use of z-score to calculate the probability.
Pregunta 18
Pregunta
For a 95% Confidence Interval, anything above the z-threshold for 95% would reject the null hypothesis.
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
Write down the steps to hypothesis testing.
Pregunta 20
Pregunta
The significance level, also denoted as alpha or α, is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is ________.
Pregunta 21
Pregunta
p-value is the probability of obtaining results at least as extreme as the observed results of a statistical hypothesis test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct.
Pregunta 22
Pregunta
Low enough p-value is ground for rejecting the null hypothesis. We reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is less than the significance level?
Pregunta 23
Pregunta
Type-1 error: Type 1 error is the case when we fail to reject the null hypothesis but actually it is false. The probability of having a type-1 error is called beta(β).
Pregunta 24
Pregunta
Type-2 error: Type 2 error is the case when we reject the null hypothesis but in actual it was true. The probability of having a Type-2 error is called significance level alpha(α).
Pregunta 25
Pregunta
For Type 1 and Type 2 error:
α= P (Null hypothesis rejected | Null hypothesis is true)
β= P (Null hypothesis accepted | Null hypothesis is false)
Pregunta 26
Pregunta
Power of test is defined as
P= 1- Type-2 error
= 1 – β
Lesser the type-2 error more the power of the hypothesis test.
Pregunta 27
Pregunta
For a Z - test:
1. A Z-test is mainly used when the data is normally distributed.
2. We find the Z-statistic of the sample means and calculate the z-score.
3. Z-test is mainly used when the population mean and standard deviation are given.
Pregunta 28
Pregunta
T-tests are similar to the z-scores, the only difference being that instead of the Population Standard Deviation, we use the Sample Standard Deviation?
Pregunta 29
Pregunta
Z-tests are statistical calculations that can be used to compare population means to a sample's.
T-tests are calculations used to test a hypothesis, but they are most useful when we need to determine if there is a statistically significant difference between two independent sample groups.
