100

 This measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between the x variable and the y variable

What is r?

100
We use this to make sure a scenario satisfies the Binomial Setting.

What is BINS

Binary, Independent, Normal, probability of Success

100

Degrees of Freedom for a test of Slope

What is n - 2

100

If you are comparing two distributions, you must do this to get credit.

Use comparison words in context.  Words like "more than", "less than"

(Example:  The mean score of Mr. B's class is higher than the mean score of Mrs. Z's class)

100

Generlaize results to the population of interest if

What is gathering a large random sample taken from the same population we hope to draw conclusions about.
200

The "estimated" or "predicted y value (state in context) for a given x-value (state in context)

What is y-hat?

200

Helps us describe univariate data?

What is SOCS?(or SOCCS which reminds us to give context)

Shape, Outliers, Center, Spread

200

Degrees of Freedom of a test of homogeneity or association/indpendence

What is (# of rows -1)(3 of columns - 1)

200

We should never do this when predicting with an LSRL

What is extrapolation.

200

Interpret confidence interval

What is "I am ___% confident that hte interval from ___ to___ captures the true ____.

300

% of variation in y (context) is accounted for by the LSR of y(context) on x (context)

What is r2?

300

Helps us to describe bivariate data.

DOFS

Direction, Outliers, Form, Strength

300

Degrees of Freedom for a the difference of means if you finding it manually.

What is n-1 of the smaller sample.

300

You can never infer this unless you know you have a well controlled experiment with a large enough sample.

What is causation?

300

Interprete Confidence Level

What is "Intervals produced with this method will capture the true population ______ in about ____% of all possible samples of this same size from this population.
400

measures the standard deviation of the estimated slope for predicting the y variable (context) from the x variable (context).

What is SEb?

400

Conditions for Inference on Slope

What is LINER

Linear, Indpendent, Normal (histogram of residuals), Equal variance of residuals, Random

400

How do you satisfy the Large Sample Size for Chi Square tests

Expected Counts are at least 5

400

This words are good words to show that we are the numbers are not certain, only helping us to conclude (you only need one of the words)

What is "estimating, predicting, or approximately".

400

Explain P-Value

Assuming the the null is true (in context), the P-value measures he chance of abserving a statistic (or differnce in statistics (context) as large as or larger than the one actually observed.

500

It measures the typical distance between the actual y-values (context) and their predicted y-values (context)

What is s?

500

The Words that describe that when n is large the sampling distributin of the sample mean x-bar is approximately Normal.

What is CLT?

Central Limit Theorem

500
Find the z* manually using the table.

What is Add the lower tail to the confidence level and look in the body of the table for that percentage, then find the appropriate z-score in the margins.

500
This word is taboo when concluding with confidence intervals because since we can't be certain of our conclusion.
What is "accept".


Instead we reject or fail to reject.  

500
The interpretation of an unbiased estimator

The data is collected in such a way that ther is no systembatic tendency to overestimate or underestimate the true value of the population parameter .  (also fine if you say that the man of the sampling distributin equal the true value of the parameter being estimated)
