Explain Confidence Interval for a Mean, Total, Proportion,
Standard Deviation.
Methods of Selecting Random Samples.
1. What is the key difference between a population standard
deviation and the standard deviation of a sampling
distribution?
2. How does this effect the normal distribution for the sample?
(i.e. shape)
What is the difference between standard deviation and average
deviation? Which calculation is more useful for determining if a
data point can be omitted from a data set?
Differentiating pooled variance and the estimated standard error of the difference in sample means For the independent-measures t test, which of the following describes the pooled variance (whose symbol is sp2 )? The difference between the standard deviations of the two samples The variance across all the data values when both samples are pooled together A weighted average of the two sample variances (weighted by the sample sizes) An estimate of the standard distance between the difference in sample means (M1 - M2) and the...
