Statistical Inferences and Sampling Distributions Quiz

#1

In hypothesis testing, what is the significance level?

The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true.
Explanation

Probability of rejecting null hypothesis when true.

#2

What is the purpose of using a hypothesis test in statistics?

To determine if there is enough evidence to reject a claim about a population parameter
Explanation

Assessing evidence to reject claims about population.

#3

Which of the following statements about Type I error is true?

It is also known as a false positive.
Explanation

Type I error termed as false positive.

#4

In a hypothesis test, what does the alternative hypothesis typically represent?

The researcher's claim or hypothesis
Explanation

Researcher's alternative claim or hypothesis.

#5

What is the sampling distribution?

It is the distribution of a sample statistic based on multiple random samples from the same population.
Explanation

Distribution of sample statistic from multiple random samples.

#6

Which of the following is NOT an assumption of the Central Limit Theorem?

The population distribution is normal.
Explanation

Normality of population distribution not required.

#7

What is the standard error of the mean?

It is a measure of the variability of sample means around the true population mean.
Explanation

Variability of sample means around true population mean.

#8

What is a confidence interval?

It is a range of values that likely contains the population parameter with a certain level of confidence.
Explanation

Range of values likely containing population parameter.

#9

What is the formula for the standard error of the mean?

Standard Deviation / √(Sample Size)
Explanation

Standard deviation divided by square root of sample size.

#10

What does the Central Limit Theorem state?

It states that the sampling distribution of the sample mean approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases, regardless of the shape of the population distribution.
Explanation

Sample mean distribution approximates normal with large samples.

#11

Which of the following is a correct interpretation of a 95% confidence interval?

If the experiment were repeated many times, 95% of the resulting confidence intervals would contain the true population parameter.
Explanation

Proportion of confidence intervals containing true parameter.

#12

Which of the following is an assumption of linear regression?

All of the above
Explanation

All listed assumptions required for linear regression.
