Question 1

Which of the following best describes the sample standard deviation in statistical data analysis?

A measure of the central value of a dataset A measure of how spread out data values are around the sample mean The difference between the maximum and minimum values in a sample The proportion of sample values that lie within one standard error of the median

Correct Answer:

A measure of how spread out data values are around the sample mean

Question 2

In a standard normal distribution N(0, 1), what does a z-score of +1.5 indicate?

The observation is 1.5 units above the median The observation is 1.5 standard deviations above the population mean The observation is 1.5 times greater than the sample variance The observation lies in the bottom 15% of the distribution

Correct Answer:

The observation is 1.5 standard deviations above the population mean

Question 3

If events A and B are mutually exclusive, which of the following equations correctly states the probability of event A or event B occurring?

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) P(A or B) = P(A) x P(B) P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) P(A or B) = P(A) / P(B)

Correct Answer:

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

Question 4

Using standard normal tables, what is the approximate probability that a standard normal variable Z is less than 1.00 (i.e. P(Z < 1.00))?

0.5000 0.6827 0.8413 0.9500

Correct Answer:

0.8413

Question 5

What is the primary difference between a sample statistic and a population parameter?

A statistic describes a characteristic of a sample, while a parameter describes a characteristic of an entire population A parameter changes with every sample collected, while a statistic remains constant A statistic is represented by Greek letters like mu and sigma, while a parameter uses Latin letters like x-bar and s Parameters are calculated from surveys, while statistics are derived only from complete censuses

Correct Answer:

A statistic describes a characteristic of a sample, while a parameter describes a characteristic of an entire population
