Question
Answer
a parameter is   a number that describes a population  
🗑
a statisctic is   a number that can be computed from sample data without making use of any unknown parameterss  
🗑
two most common statistics are   x (sample mean) and p (p hat)  
🗑
statistics are used to   estimate parameters  
🗑
sampling variablility   sicne differnt samples yield diffren vlaues of the statistic in question, the varaition is called the sampling variable  
🗑
sampling distribution of a statistic   is the distribution of values taken by the statistics in all possible samples of the same size from the same population  
🗑
standard devation of a sample statistic is called   the standard error of the statistic  
🗑
sampling distribtions are described by examining   the sahpe of its graph, the center, its starndard dev, and outliers  
🗑
a measurment porcess is biased if   it systematically overstrates or udnerstats the true value of the variable it attemps to estimate  
🗑
a statistic used to estimate a parameter is unbiased   if the mean of the sampling distribution is equal to the true value of the parameter being estimated  
🗑
the sampling distribution of p hat is   approximately normal and closer to a normal distribution when the sample size n is large  
🗑
normal distributions are used to approximate the sampling distribution of p when both   np>10 and nq > 10  
🗑
the mean of p hat is   p (uphat=p)  
🗑
the satnadrd dev of p hat is   square root of pq/n  
🗑
if a population has a normla distribution then xbar of n independent observations   is normally distributed, has a mean of mu, has a standard dev of sigma/ root n which is smasller than the population satndard dev  
🗑
CLT   draw an srs of size n from an population with mean mu and finite standard deviation. when n is large the sampling sitruibtion of the sample mean x bar is approxiately normal with mean mu and satndard deviation sigma over root n  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
