100
This measure of center is more resistant to outliers than the mean.
What is the median?
100
observed y - predicted y
What is the residual?
100
This phrase is used to describe an observed effect so large that it would rarely occur by chance.
What is statistically significant?
100
This type of random variable requires a fixed number of trials.
What is a binomial random variable?
100
The type of significance test used for the mean of a single population when the standard deviation of the population is unknown.
What is a T test (or T procedure)?
200
To calculate, subtract the mean of the distribution from the observed x, then divide by the standard deviation.
What is the z-score (or standardized value)?
200
Measures the direction and strength of a linear relationship between two quantitative variables.
What is correlation (or r)?
200
randInt(1,9,3)
What is the calculator command for generating 3 random numbers from 1 to 9?
200
The type of variable where the probability distribution assigns probability as the area under the density curve above a specific interval.
What is a continuous random variable?
200
The formula to calculate the one-sample z statistic.
What is z = (x bar minus mu sub o) divided by (sigma divided by the square root of n) ?
300
This rule helps to determine if data is normally distributed by checking the number of observations within each interval.
What is the 68-95-99.7 rule?
300
The fraction of the variables in the values of y that is explained by the LSR of y on x.
What is the coefficient of determination (or r squared)?
300
This experimental design involves the random assignment of units to treatments which are carried out separately within each group of units known to be similar in some way that is expected to affect the responses.
What is block design?
300
Events that have no outcomes in common and can never occur simultaneously, for which the addition rule is used.
What are disjoint events (or mutually exclusive events)?
300
The conditions to use this test include all expected counts be greater than or equal to 5 and the degrees of freedom are n-1
What is the goodness of fit ( chi-square) test?
400
The square of the standard deviation.
What is the variance?
400
The correlation if Sy=7 and Sx=10 and the slope of the regression line is .56
What is .8?
400
The 4 basic priciples of experimental design?
What are Randomization, Control, Replication, and Comparison?
400
The condition involving the population size that must be satisfied to use sigma divided by the square root of n as the standard deviation of a sampling distribution.
What is 'the population is at least 10 times the sample size'? independence...
400
Two of the conditions to be verified for inference about a proportion.
What are the population size be greater than or equal to 10n and n times p hat & n times (1 - p hat) be greater than or equal to 10? (SRS could also be one of the two)
500
This calculator command can be used to find the area under a normal distribution and above an interval.
What is normalcdf?
500
What I would say if I had to comment on this scatteplot of shoe size vs height
What is there is a moderately strong positive linear relationship between shoe size and height?
500
What you would say if you had to describe the process of using a random digits table for a simulation.
What is state what each digit represents, state where you will start on the table and where you will stop and what you will count, state what consists of one trial and how many trials you will run, state that each trial is independent and if you will skip any values (not necessarily in that order haha)
500
The formula to determine the variance for a discrete random variable with three possible values.
What is sigma sub x squared = (the square of the difference between x sub 1 and mu multiplied by p sub 1) + (the square of the difference between x sub 2 and mu multiplied by p sub 2) + (the square of the difference between x sub 3 and mu multiplied by p sub 3) ?
500
b +/- t*SE sub b
What is the confidence interval for slope beta of a true regression line?
