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

that you are doing now
parameter

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
