The null hypothesis is true and we accept it.

-Correct decision

The absolute value of the coefficient indicates the magnitude, or the strength, of the
relationship.

-True

The value of a perfect negative correlation is .

- -1

We use statistical tests to determine if the sample data give good evidence against the
claim (H0).

-True

The null hypothesis always includes the possibility of equality.


-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

A scatterplot in which the points do not have a linear trend.

-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

“Number of television per household”

-Discrete random variables

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

The null hypothesis is true and we reject it.

-Error
It provides the general framework of what we are testing and how to perform the test.

-Hypothesis

The null hypothesis is false and we reject it.

-Correct decision

It is a function or rule that assigns a number to each outcome of an experiment.

-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

It is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false.

-Power of the test

It is a conjecture about a characteristic or set of facts

-Hypothesis
It is a statistic that is used to measure the strength and direction of a linear correlation.

-Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient


An outlier is an extreme observation that does not fit the general correlation or regression
pattern.

-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

It is the range of possible values.

-Confidence Interval

We establish critical regions based on .

-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

The value of a perfect positive correlation is .

-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

Correlation does not imply causation.

-true

It explains the nature of the relationship between the two variables.

-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.

-All of the choices

It simply means two variables.

-Bivariate
