100

Stating this, that that 100 Silver Creek students is < 1/10 (of all silver creek students)

What is the 10% condition?

100

Increasing the sample size does this for a confidence interval

What is decrease variability? or What is to decrease the margin of error and therefore narrow the confidence interval?

100

This gives a range of plausible values that estimates the true proportion of a population

What is a confidence interval?

100

invnorm (area: .72, M: 0, Sigma: 1, tail: center)

What is a critical value of z* = +/- 1.08?

100

The point estimate of a confidence interval (0.35, 0.48)

What is 0.415?

200

Because you want sampling without replacement to be okay.

What s the 10% condition?

200

An outcome that is expected to occur less than 5% of the times purely by chance

What is statistically significant?

200

This 4 step process for writing confidence intervals

What are choose-check-calculate-conclude? or What are state-plan-do-conclude?

200

invnorm (area: .81, M: 0, Sigma: 1, tail: center)

What is critical value or z* = +/- 1.31?

200

This margin of error for a confidence interval of (0.432, 0.596)

What is 0.082?

300

Because you want to generalize results to the larger population.

What is to take a random sample?

300

They would say I am conservative because I don't have my p-hat

What p-hat = 0.5?

300

The standard error of a confidence interval

What is the sqrt [p-hat(1-p-hat)/n]?

300

z* = +/- 1.70

 .   

What is the critical value for a 91% confidence interval?

300

[(phat)(1-phat)] / [(ME)/z]^2

What is solving for sample size n?

400

This the large counts condition for a one sample z-interval for p

What is n*p-hat > 10 and n(1-p-hat) > 10?

400

0.28 is within the 95 % confidence interval (0.26, 0.40), but that does not mean I am this

What is the true proportion?

400

0.28 is in the interval (.23, 0.41) so it must be this

What is a plausible value?

400

This critical value does not include 12% of the standard distribution of data in a normal curve

What is z* = +/-1.55?

invnorm(area: .88, M:0, Sigma: 1, tail: center) 

400

An 80% confidence interval for p-hat = 0.55 and sample size n =88 (round to three decimal places)...assume all conditions are met

What is the confidence interval (0.482, 0.618)?

500

Because one of the conditions was not met

What is to "proceed with caution"?

500

0 is within a 95% confidence interval that we believe captures the true difference in proportion of students (9th grade - 12th grade)

What is not convincing evidence? or What is 0 or "no difference" is a plausible value?

500

This grade wants to attend prom more because the 95% confidence interval estimates the true difference in proportion to be (p_juniors - p_seniors) is (-.21, -0.03)

What are seniors?

500

The positive of this critical value is at the 96th percentile

What is z* = +1.75?

500

A 95% confidence interval for difference in (p-hat_1 minus p-hat_2) where p-hat_1 = 0.387 and p-hat_2... .332...sample size n_1 = 364 and sample size n_2 = 367 ...(round to three decimal places)...assume all conditions are met

What is a confidence interval of (-0.014, 0.124)
