1. One difference between ANOVA and regression is: a) ANOVA is for statistical inference, whereas regression is not b) a regression line accounts for variability, whereas variability is not a concept in ANOVA c) in regression, we estimate a slope, whereas in ANOVA, we estimate mean differences d) ANOVA bases its inferences on samples, whereas regression bases its inferences on populations e) ANOVA and regression are not different at all, they are exactly the same f) ANOVA features p-values, whereas regression does not
A) A sample of n=5 scores has a mean m=12. If one score with a value x=18 is added to the sample, what is the value for the new mean? B) Find the mean for the scores in the following frequency distribution table X F 9 1 8 1 7 3 6 4 5 1 4 0 The mean to two decimal places? C) A population of N=10 scores has a mean of mu =12, if one score with a value of X= 21 is removed from the popultion, then what is the value of the new population mean?
Which of the following is a characteristic of the sampling distribution of a mean or proportion? a) its standard error increases as the size of the sample increases b) its standard error increases as the size of the population increases c) it has the shape of a normal curve d) its shape depends on the shape of population distribution
If our data is considered to follow a Normal distribution, then we would expect to find approximately a) 15% of observed values in the sample less than the first quartile b) 65% of observations in a sample in the inter-quartile range c) 95% of observations in a sample within two standard deviations of the mean d) 50% of observations in a sample within one standard deviation of the mean
In a national health survey, the pulse rate of 2344 adults in a particular country averaged 69.59 beats/min with a standard deviation of 11.2 beats/min. Complete parts a through c below. a) Can the Central Limit Theorem be applied to describe the distribution of the pulse rates? Why or why not? A. No, because the sample size is not large enough to apply the Central Limit Theorem. B. Yes, if it is assumed that the sample is unimodal and symmetric. C. No, because the sample may be skewed. D. Yes, if it is assumed that these adults are a representative, random sample of adults in this country. OE. No, because the Central Limit Theorem is about sample statistics and not individual measurements. b) Can the Central Limit theorem be used to describe the sampling distribution model for the sample mean of all adults in the country? Why or why not? OA. Yes, if it is assumed that the sample is unimodal and symmetric. B. Yes, if it is assumed that these adults are a representative, random sample…
