Define “Sampling Variability.
.The differences between samples drawn from the same population.
What is a “True Parameter” in statistics
A numerical summary that represents the entire population.
- Explain what “Statistics” refer to in statistical terms
Numerical summaries calculated from a sample to estimate population parameters.
What is the primary benefit of a representative sample?
I
It ensures that the sample statistics match the population parameters.
What is a “Sampling Distribution”?
The distribution of sample means from multiple random samples.
True or False: The Central Limit Theorem guarantees that the sampling distribution will
always be normally distributed, even for small sample sizes.
f
True or False: The standard error of the mean increases as the sample size increases
f
True or False: Sampling variability arises from differences in the measurements taken
within a single sample.
f
True or False: The Central Limit Theorem applies only to populations with a normal
distribution.
f
True or False: A larger sample size will result in a narrower sampling distribution of the
mean.
t
Which of the following best describes “Between Sample Variability”?
) Differences between samples drawn from the same population.
What is the standard error of the mean (SE) formula?
SE = σ / n
the Central Limit Theorem applies, what can you expect about the shape of the
sampling distribution of the sample means?
It will always be normal
- What does the term “Statistical Inference” refer to?
b) Drawing conclusions about a population based on data from a sample.
n statistical terms, what does “Central Limit Theorem” (CLT) imply
The sampling distribution will be normal, regardless of the population distribution.
What is the term used to describe the average of a group of continuous numerical values?
Mean
. What is the term used to describe the most frequent value in a set of data?
mode
This type of categorical variable is to simply count for a category divided by the total number
of subjects
proportions
is the proportion times 100
%
The total number of subjects with a particular category or level is
counts
This is the common response on How to Find it in the Numerical Summary
mode
This is the lowest value in Numerical summary
minimum
This is the highest value in Numerical summary
maximum
Numerical summaries that describes the population
parameters
