A worker wants to determine the average weight of fish fillets in his freezer. There are hundreds of boxes of fillets in the freezer with each box containing 15 fillets. He randomly selects 10 boxes of fish at random and pools all fillets in the 10 chosen boxes together as his sample. Is this simple random sampling, stratified sampling, or cluster sampling?

The statement, “The 95% confidence interval for the population mean is (350, 400)”, is equivalent to the statement, “there is a 95% probability that the population mean is between 350 and 400”. True or false?

Which of the following is NOT a statistic?
1. The sample mean
2. The sample median
3. The population proportion
4. The sample IQR (interquartile range)
5. All of the above are statistics

Definition Definition Middle value of a data set. The median divides a data set into two halves, and it also called the 50th percentile. The median is much less affected by outliers and skewed data than the mean. If the number of elements in a dataset is odd, then the middlemost element of the data arranged in ascending or descending order is the median. If the number of elements in the dataset is even, the average of the two central elements of the arranged data is the median of the set. For example, if a dataset has five items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31—the median is the third item in ascending order, or 21. If a dataset has six items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31, 33—the median is the average of the third (21) and fourth (27) items. It is calculated as follows: (21 + 27) / 2 = 24.
