Question
Answer
Symmetric Distribution   When the data values are evenly distributed about the mean (normal distribution).  
🗑
Negatively or Left-Skewed Distribution   When the majority of the data values fall to the right of the mean.  
🗑
Positively or Right-Skewed Distribution   When the majority of the data values fall to the left of the mean.  
🗑
Normal Distribution   A continuous symmetric, bell-shaped distribution of a variable  
🗑
Standard Normal Distribution   A normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.  
🗑
For a Standard Normal Distribution Z =   (value-mean) / standard deviation  
🗑
Sampling Distribution of Sample Means   A distribution using the means computed from all possible random samples of a specific size taken from a population.  
🗑
Sampling Error   The difference between the sample measure and the corresponding population measure due to the fact the sampling is not a perfect representation of the population.  
🗑
What are the properties of distribution of sample means?   The mean will be the same as the population mean. The standard deviation of the sample means will be smaller than the standard deviation of the population & it will be = to the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.  
🗑
Central Limit Theorem   As the sample size n increases without limit, the shape of the distribution of the sample mean taken with replacement from a population with mu and standard deviation sigma will approach a normal distribution.  
🗑
Correction Factor   Is necessary for computing the standard error of the mean for samples drawn without replacement from a finite population.  
🗑
Correction for Continuity   A correction employed when a continuous distribution is used to approximate a discrete distribution  
🗑
The Mean for the Binomial Distribution is (mu) =   n * p  
🗑
The Standard Deviation for the Binomial Distribution is (sigma) =   The square root of (n * p * q).  
🗑
q =   1 - p  
🗑


   

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.
