Sampling & Experiments
Neither the subject nor those who measure the reponse variable know which treatment a subject received.
What is a double-blind experiment?
P-value = 0.03, alpha = .05
What is "we reject the null hypothesis, and have enough evidence to support the alternative hypothesis"?
How to algebraicly identify outliers
What is Q1 - 1.5(IQR) and Q3 + 1.5(IQR)?
The probability of rolling a fair die three times and getting three fours. (Fraction or decimal)

A Coke vs. Pepsi taste test is a common form of this experimental design
What is matched pairs?

What is "For every one unit increase in the explanatory variable, there is on average a 4 unit decrease in the reponse variable"?
How do you calculate the expected value of a discrete random variable
What is "the sum of the products of the values of x and their respective probabilities?"
The probability of pulling a red or queen from a standard deck of cards. (fraction or decimal)
What is P(red or queen) = P(red) + P(queen) - P(red and queen) = 26/52 + 4/32 - 2/32 = 28/52 = .54?
The probability of at least 8 successes in 12 trials given a probability of success of 45%.
What is binomcdf(12, .45, 8,12) = .11?
When some groups in the population are left out of the process of choosing a sample
What is undercoverage?
A z-score of -3.45
What is "The data value is 3.45 standard deviations below the mean"?
How to determine if two events, A and B, are independent
What is P(B|A) = P(B) or P(A and B) = P(A)P(B)?
If IQ distribution is N(100,15), the probability of an IQ at least 110. (Do not use calculator function)
What is z=(110-100)/15 = 0.67; table = .7486; p = 1 - .7486 = .2514

What is P(X=5) = .4(1-.4)^4 = .052
A 95% confidence interval with a random sample of size 40, sample mean of 10 and sample standard deviation of 2.1
What is tInterval(10, 2.1, 40, .95) = (9.33, 10.67)?

What is "The normal probability condition is not met"
The expected count for any value in a chi square 2-way test
What is the row total times the column total divided by the grand total?
