Week 2 Quiz
Question 1
A numerical value used as a summary measure for a sample, such as sample mean, is known as a
population parameter | ||
sample parameter | ||
sample statistic | ||
population mean |
The 50th percentile is the
mode | ||
median | ||
mean | ||
third quartile |
The difference between the largest and the smallest data values is the
variance | ||
interquartile range | ||
range | ||
coefficient of variation |
When data are positively skewed, the mean will usually be
greater than the median | ||
smaller than the median | ||
equal to the median | ||
positive |
The numerical value of the standard deviation can never be
larger than the variance | ||
zero | ||
negative | ||
smaller than the variance |
Which of the following symbols represents the standard deviation of the population?
?2 | ||

Two events are mutually exclusive
if their intersection is 1 | ||
if they have no sample points in common | ||
if their intersection is 0.5 | ||
None of these alternatives is correct. |
The range of probability is
any value larger than zero | ||
any value between minus infinity to plus infinity | ||
zero to one | ||
any value between -1 to 1 |
The sum of the probabilities of two complementary events is
0 | ||
0.5 | ||
0.75 | ||
1 |
The union of events A and B is the event containing
all the sample points belonging to B or A | ||
all the sample points belonging to A or B | ||
all the sample points belonging to A or B or both | ||
all the sample points belonging to A or B, but not both |
Events A and B are mutually exclusive. Which of the following statements is also true?
A and B are also independent. | ||
P(A ? B) = P(A)P(B) | ||
P(A ? B) = P(A) + P(B) | ||
P(A ? B) = P(A) + P(B) |
