The conclusion if the p-value of 0.001 given an alpha = 0.05. 

What is "since the p-value is less than alpha = 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis, and conclude there is significant evidence to support the alternative hypothesis"?

This type of random variable requires a fixed number of trials, each observation to be independent, and to have two outcomes ("success" or "failure").

What is a binomial random variable? 

100

This calculator command can be used to find the area under a normal distribution.

What is normalcdf? 

100

This allows us to generalize our results to an entire population.

What is Random sampling?

Based on the summary statistics are there any outliers?  Use the IQR formula to prove one way or the other on the whiteboard.

No, upper fence at 6.992 and lower fence at 3.0625.

200

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? 

200

Events that have no outcomes in common and can never occur simultaneously, for which the addition rule is used. 

What are mutually exclusive (disjoint) events?  

200

This measure of spread is resistant to subtracting every value by 3.

What is the IQR, range, or standard deviation?

200

The population is divided into heterogenous groups. Some groups are randomly selected and all individuals in the chosen groups are sampled. 

What is cluster sampling?

300

The probability of rolling a fair six sided die and getting your first 4 on the third roll.

What is P(not 4)P(not 4)P(4) = (5/6)(5/6)(1/6) = 0.1157 = 25/216

300

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)? 

300

This type of bias is typically present when subjects feel pressure to give a specific response.

What is response bias?

What is the name of my oldest daughter?

Emma

What does it mean to be 95% confident? 

If you repeatedly took samples of the same size and constructed an interval of a certain length from the sample statistic, 95% of those intervals will contain the population statistic.

400

The probability of pulling a red or a Queen from a standard deck of 52 cards. 

What is P(red or queen) = P(red) + P(queen) - P(red and queen)  = 28/52 = 0.538
