  • Null hypothesis
    Indicated by the notation 𝐻0
  • Alternative hypothesis
    Indicated by the notation 𝐻𝑎
  • Type I error
    The probability of committing a Type I error is also called the level of significance
  • The probability of committing a Type I error at 95% confidence level is 0.05
  • Which is NOT a condition to be satisfied concerning the mean for a sample size n to be considered sufficiently large? n < 30
  • The critical value for a one-tailed z-test at 0.01 level of significance is 2.326
  • Which condition for the p-value is satisfied when the test statistic is within the rejection region? 𝑝 ≥ 𝛼
  • Which condition is to be satisfied concerning the proportion p for a sample size n to be considered sufficiently large? 𝑛𝑝 > 5 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑛(1 − 𝑝) > 5
  • The sum of the proportion of success p and that of failure q is equal to 1
  • Which is the least sufficiently large sample size for a test of hypothesis concerning the proportion p when p = 0.1? 45
  • Which quantity does NOT have any effect on the z-statistic concerning proportion? level of significance
  • Dependent variable
    In bivariate data, the variable that is affected by the change in the value of the other variable
  • Which information is NOT found in a scatter plot? correlation coefficient
  • When the points in a scatter plot are located on a straight line, the correlation is said to be perfect
  • When the points in a scatter plot are concentrated near a straight line, the correlation is said to be strong
  • When the line of best fit in a scatter plot goes upward to the right, the direction of the line is said to be positive
  • Independent variable
    In a regression analysis, the variable that causes the change in the value of the other variable
  • Slope
    The rate of change in the value of the affected variable in a regression analysis
    1. intercept
    The value of the affected variable when the other variable is zero in a regression analysis
  • The Pearson r correlation coefficient equals 0.80
  • The strength of correlation is strong
  • The slope of the line of best fit is positive
  • The y-intercept of the regression line equals 0.36
  • The slope of the regression line equals 0.98
  • When the x-value of the regression line is zero, y equals the 𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡 𝑎
  • The independent variable is score in Science test
  • When x = 41, y is estimated to be equal to 40
  • To draw the line of best fit on a scatter plot, the line does not pass through all points
  • To draw the regression line, the point (29, 29) should be connected to the point (45.44)
  • The probability of committing a Type II error at α = 0.05 and power (1 - β) = 0.95 is 0.10
  • A random variable X follows a normal distribution with mean μ = 48 and standard deviation σ = 7
