200

How likely are drivers to come to a complete stop at a stop sign?  A researcher placed hidden camera at a stop sign and observed 150 cars to see if they came to a complete stop.

What is a Confidence Interval for a Proportion

200

If you calculate a point estimate then you add and subtract a margin of error from either side of that point estimate.

What is a confidence interval

200

How do you calculate degrees of freedom on a T-table

What is n-1

200
This type of sampling involves breaking individuals into groups, and then selecting an entire group or groups for your sample

What is cluster sampling

300

Two events that cannot occur at the same time

What is mutually exclusive (disjoint)

300

What is row total * column total / total total

400

If there is a 35% chance of rain every day this week, and each day is independent of the other days, what is the probability that it will not rain at all over the next 5 days?

What is 11.6%

400

Do customers at Safeway wait in the checkout line on average longer than 5 minutes?  150 randomly selected Safeway customers were observed.

What is a Hypothesis Test for a Population Mean

400

Rejecting the Null hypothesis when in fact the Null is true.

What is a Type 1 error

400

What is the z value for a one tailed test with an alpha of .025

What is 1.96

400

Spot the error in this conclusion AND reword correctly:

Ho: Temperatures aren't increasing
Ha: Temperatures are increasing

Because the p value (0.01) is less than .05, we cannot reject the null hypothesis and conclude that temperatures aren't increasing. 

Because the p value (0.01) is less than .05, we can reject the null and have significant evidence that temperatures are increasing

What is 62.3%
