Answer: False Difficulty: Medium 5. The sampling distribution of a sample statistic is the probability distribution of the population of all possible values of the sample statistic. Answer: True Difficulty: Easy 6. A sample statistic is an unbiased point estimate of a population parameter if the mean of the populations of all possible values of the sample statistic equals the population parameter. Answer: True Difficulty: Medium 7.
What does this result mean? The t ratio of -0.65 represents the smallest relative difference between the pretest and 3 months outcomes. This ratio does not have an asterisk next to it in the table which according to the footnotes the asterisk is said to represent p < 0.05 the least stringent acceptable value for statistical significance. 4. What are the assumptions for conducting a t-test for dependent groups in a study?
7-7 Geometric Sequences as Exponential Functions Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic, geometric, or neither. Explain. 1. 200, 40, 8, … SOLUTION: Since the ratios are constant, the sequence is geometric. The common ratio is 2.
(Mean= 346.5), (E=1.96*170.38/sqrt (20) = 74.67), (95% C/I= 346.5-74.67< u < 346.5+74.67) (b) Why might normality be an issue here? The CI (confidence interval) is a statement about the whole population. In the random sample provided by our assignment, I believe it does not correspond to the whole population. So the 20 page sample was not required or representative of the set of Yellow Pages. (c) What sample size would be needed to obtain an error of ±10 square millimeters with 99 percent confidence?
The total risk score is 4.14, the greatest relative or standardized difference between pretest and 3 month outcomes. This t ratio has a statistical significance of 0.05 - the least acceptable value for statistical significance. Also the larger the t ratio, the smaller the observed p value and increased odds of being able to reject the null hypothesis. 3. Which t-ratio listed in Table 3 represents the smallest relative difference between the pretest and 3 months?
3. The trials are statically independent. 4. The number of trials is a positive integer. According to that, we can use the theorem because there are only two possible outcomes with given probabilities.
5. A test statistic is a value determined from sample information used to reject or not reject the null hypothesis. 6. The region or area of rejection defines the location of all those values that are so large or so small that the probability of their occurrence under a true null hypothesis is rather remote. 7.
(TCO 5) Given a Poisson distribution with mean = 2. Find P(X < 5). (Points : 3) 0.036 0.947 0.983 0.017 9. (TCO 5) Given the random variable X = {5, 6} with P(5) = 0.2 and P(6) = 0.8. Find E(X).
c. What is the value of the test statistic? d. What is your decision regarding H0? e. What is the p-value? Chapter 10 Exercise 10 Given the following hypotheses: H0 : μ = 400 H1 : μ ≠ 400 A random sample of 12 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean was 407 and the sample standard deviation 6.
Quantitative Methods Mid term Question 1 Deterministic techniques assume that no uncertainty exists in model parameters. Selected Answer: True Question 2 An inspector correctly identifies defective products 90% of the time. For the next 10 products, the probability that he makes fewer than 2 incorrect inspections is 0.736. Selected Answer: True Question 3 A joint probability is the probability that two or more events that are mutually exclusive can occur simultaneously. Selected Answer: False Question 4 A decision tree is a diagram consisting of circles decision nodes, square probability nodes, and branches.
