Questions and Answers

What is the definition of probability in statistics?

Probability measures the likelihood of an event occurring, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

How do you differentiate between descriptive and inferential statistics?

Descriptive statistics summarize and describe the characteristics of a data set, while inferential statistics make predictions or inferences about a population based on sample data.

What is a null hypothesis in hypothesis testing?

The null hypothesis is a statement that there is no effect or no difference, and it serves as a starting point for statistical testing.

Explain what a p-value indicates in the context of statistical hypothesis testing.

<p>A p-value indicates the probability of obtaining results at least as extreme as the observed results, assuming that the null hypothesis is true.</p> Signup and view all the answers
