22 Questions
What are the three main types of Descriptive Statistics mentioned in the text?
False
True or false: The mean is the middle of the set of numbers.
False
True or false: The sum of all observations divided by the number of observations gives the median.
False
True or false: The median is always the middle value of a set of data when arranged from least to greatest.
False
True or false: The mode is the value that occurs most frequently in a set of data.
True
True or false: The mean, median, and mode will always belong to the same 'team' in a normal distribution.
False
True or false: A high standard deviation indicates that values in a dataset are generally clustered close to the mean.
False
True or false: The standard error estimates the variability within a single sample.
False
True or false: The standard deviation describes the variability across multiple samples of a population.
False
True or false: Kurtosis measures the degree to which a distribution is peaked.
True
True or false: Skewness measures the degree to which a set of data are symmetrical.
False
True or false: The Empirical Rule states that almost all observed data will fall within two standard deviations of the mean for a normal distribution.
False
True or false: A smaller standard deviation indicates a higher peak in a normal distribution.
False
True or false: In a normal distribution, 99.7% of the observations fall within three standard deviations from the mean.
True
True or false: The mean, median, and mode are always equal in a normal distribution.
True
True or false: Skewness is a measure of symmetry in a distribution.
True
True or false: A distribution is considered left skewed if Sk < 0.
True
True or false: Violation of normality can cause major problems in statistical analysis, regardless of sample size.
False
True or false: The confidence interval indicates the range in which the true mean value of the population lies with a certain probability.
True
True or false: The margin of error is calculated by adding the lower confidence limit to the upper confidence limit.
False
True or false: A box plot displays the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum of a set of data.
True
True or false: A box plot is a method for graphically demonstrating the variability of data through their mean, standard deviation, and range.
False
