#1
What is the purpose of stratified sampling?
To ensure every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected
To ensure representation of all subgroups within the population
To select samples randomly from each stratum
To minimize sampling bias
#2
Which of the following is NOT a measure of central tendency?
#3
What is the purpose of random sampling?
To ensure every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected
To select samples based on specific criteria
To ensure representation of all subgroups within the population
To minimize sampling bias
#4
In which type of sampling does each member of the population have an equal chance of being selected?
Systematic sampling
Stratified sampling
Cluster sampling
Simple random sampling
#5
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of simple random sampling?
Every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected
It requires a sampling frame
It is easy to implement
It ensures proportional representation of subgroups within the population
#6
What is the formula for calculating the sample mean?
(Sum of all sample values) / (Number of samples)
(Sum of all sample values) * (Number of samples)
(Sum of all population values) / (Number of samples)
(Sum of all population values) * (Number of samples)
#7
What is the purpose of cluster sampling?
To ensure every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected
To select samples randomly from each cluster
To ensure representation of all subgroups within the population
To minimize sampling bias
#8
Which of the following is a disadvantage of convenience sampling?
It requires a sampling frame
It is time-consuming
It may lead to biased results
It ensures representation of all subgroups within the population
#9
What is the standard deviation?
A measure of the spread of data around the mean
The sum of squared deviations from the mean
A measure of the average distance between each data point and the mean
The average of the absolute deviations from the mean
#10
What is the formula for calculating the standard error of the mean?
Standard Deviation / Square Root of Sample Size
Standard Deviation * Square Root of Sample Size
Sample Size / Standard Deviation
Sample Size * Standard Deviation
#11
What does the p-value represent in hypothesis testing?
The probability of making a Type I error
The probability of making a Type II error
The probability of observing the sample data if the null hypothesis is true
The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true
#12
What is the formula for calculating the coefficient of variation?
(Standard Deviation / Mean) * 100%
(Mean / Standard Deviation) * 100%
(Mean - Standard Deviation) / Mean
(Standard Deviation - Mean) / Standard Deviation
