-Correct decision
The absolute value of the coefficient indicates the magnitude, or the strength, of the
relationship.
-True
- -1
We use statistical tests to determine if the sample data give good evidence against the
claim (H0).
-True
It is applied when the probability of success are not the same from trial to trial.
-Hypergeometric Experiment
It involves using data to calculate a line that best fits that data and then using that line to
predict scores.
-Linear regression
It gives us a more precise measurement of the relationship between the two variables.
-Correlation coefficient
This level indicates the level of assurance you have that the resulting confidence interval
encloses the unknown population mean.
-Confidence level
-Zero correlation
If our data results in a statistic that falls within the region determined by the level of
significance then we accept H0.
-False
The numerical measure that we use to determine the strength of the sample evidence we
are willing to consider strong enough to reject H0.
-Level of significance
It is a measure of the number of standard deviations a particular data point is away from
the mean.
-z-score
It is the amount that is added to and subtracted from the mean to construct the confidence
interval.
-Margin of error
This is a complete description of all the possible values of the random variable, along with
their associated probabilities.
-Probability Distribution
The area under the part of a normal curve that lies within two standard deviation of
the mean is .
-about 95%
As the confidence interval for a given statistic increases in length, the confidence level
increases.
-True
-Error
It provides the general framework of what we are testing and how to perform the test.
-Hypothesis
-Correct decision
-Random variable
The area under the part of a normal curve that lies within one standard deviation of
the mean is .
-about 68%
As the level of significance or alpha level increases, the probability of making a Type II error
(β) decreases and vice versa.
-true
-Hypothesis
It is a statistic that is used to measure the strength and direction of a linear correlation.
-True
If the points are far away from one another, and the imaginary oval is very wide, this means
that there is a weak correlation between the variables.
-True
It gives us a more precise measurement of the relationship between the two variables.
-Correlation coefficient
When there is no linear relationship between two variables, the correlation coefficient is
.
-0
-Confidence Interval
-Level of significance
An influential point in regression is one whose removal would greatly impact the equation of
the regression line.
-True
The alternative hypothesis states that there is no difference between the hypothesized
population mean and the sample mean.
-False
If the difference is very large, we accept our hypothesis about the population.
-false
-1
It is an index that describes the relationship and can take on values between 1.0 and +1.0,
with a positive correlation coefficient indicating a positive correlation and a negative
correlation coefficient indicating a negative correlation.
-Correlation coefficient
-true
-Regression coefficient
If the points are close to one another and the width of the imaginary oval is small, this
means that there is a strong correlation between the variables
-true
The null hypothesis is false and we accept it.
-Error
The area under the part of a normal curve that lies within three standard deviation of
the mean is .
-about 99.7%
A hypothesis that defines a specific value of the population parameter that is of interest.
-Null hypothesis
If the difference is very large, we accept our hypothesis about the population.
-False
A single-tail hypothesis simply states that the mean is greater or less than the hypothesized
value.
-true
To evaluate the sample mean against the hypothesized population mean, we use the
concept of z scores to determine how different the two means are.
-true
When all the points on a scatterplot lie on a straight line, you have what is called a perfect
correlation between the two variables.
-Perfect correlation
These are the factors that affect the power of a test.
-Bivariate
