Exploring One–Variable Data
In order to infer about population parameters based on sample statistics without making assumptions about the shape of the population distribution, which nonparametric procedure can be applied?
Bootstrap confidence interval procedure
Two-Sample T-Test
Paired Samples T-Test
One-Sample Z-Test
What does the term "experimental units" refer to in statistics?
Variables that are kept constant or controlled in a study to eliminate their influence on the dependent variable.
Humans and other types of units, such as animals, plants, or inanimate objects, from which data can be collected.
Characteristics or attributes that are measured or observed for each individual in a study.
Individuals who contribute and answer surveys, providing information about themselves or their opinions.
What kind of bias occurs when some groups in the population are left out of the process of choosing the sample?
Voluntary response bias
Undercoverage bias
Response bias
Nonresponse bias
How can one check violations of the linearity assumption when analyzing the relationship between predictors and outcome in a logistic regression context?
Conducting a chi-square goodness-of-fit test concerning binned predicted probabilities versus observed frequencies.
Graphically inspecting scatterplots obtained from transformed versions of both sets of predictors and outcomes.
Utilizing Durbin-Watson autocorrelation errors to identify possible non-random patterns in error terms.
Performing Shapiro-Wilk normality tests on the original predictor variables to ensure they arise from normal distributions.
When considering a normally distributed population with known variability, how does an increase in sample size affect Type II error rate () in hypothesis testing at a fixed significance level?
It can either increase or decrease Type II error rate (), depending on other factors.
It decreases Type II error rate ().
It increases Type II error rate ().
It does not affect Type II error rate ().
If a dataset shows low variability, what can be inferred about the values in the dataset?
There is no relationship between the values.
Each value is significantly different from the mean.
The values are spread out over a wide range.
The values are relatively close to each other.
A data set has a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 8. What is the z-score for a data point with a value of 68?
1.5
2.5
2
1
