Probability, Random Variables, and Probability Distributions
Which method collects information from a part of the population to draw conclusions about the whole?
Consensus Gathering
Stratified Analysis
Sample Survey
Random Sampling
What kind of sample is obtained by randomly selecting individuals in such a way that each individual has an equal chance of being chosen?
Voluntary response sample
Simple random sample (SRS)
Judgment sample
Quota sample
What is the conditional probability that a random point chosen inside a square lies inside an inscribed circle as well?
Circumference(circle)/Circumference(square)
Radius(circle)^2/Radius(square)^2
Diameter(square)/Diameter(circle)
Area(circle)/Area(square)
Given that the probability a randomly selected student at Central High School is in a math club is 0.20 and the probability that a math club member is also in a science club is 0.30, what is the probability that a student selected at random from Central High School is in both clubs if it's known that the probability of...

Assuming there is no prior knowledge whether an email message is spam or not (), how would finding out that it contains certain keywords () affect our belief regarding its nature?
If , this implies that those keywords increase our belief that the message is spam.
These keywords have no effect on the probability of the message being spam, as missing such words are common in non-spam emails too.
These keywords ensure that the email will not be spam because they significantly decrease the probability of it being so.
Spamming emails are less likely to contain these keywords, thus reducing our assumption that a message is spam.
To assess whether a statistical model's performance significantly differs when used with two populations, what method should be employed considering conditional probabilities?
Calculating standard deviations separately for each population's predicted probabilities then comparing them directly.
Using a chi-square test for independence on frequencies of A and B occurring together in both populations.
Applying hypothesis testing to compare differences in predictive accuracies for between two populations using bootstrapping techniques.
Implementing ANOVA to evaluate group differences based only on unconditional probabilities within each population.
Suppose 40% of the women in a class received an A on the test and 35% of the men received an A. The class is 70% women. Given that a person chosen at random received an A, what is the probability this person is a woman?

What can be concluded if you know that for two events X and Y, ?
Event Y happens less frequently when event X occurs than at any other time.
Event X prevents event Y from happening more often than it would naturally occur on its own.
Knowing X occurred increases the likelihood of Y occurring over its marginal probability.
Events X and Y happen simultaneously with lesser frequency than if they were independent events.
What does a conditional probability of suggest about events A and B?
There is a lack of sufficient information to determine probabilities.
Event A occurs with a probability of 25% given that event B has occurred.
Event A occurs with a certainty when event B occurs.
Event A and B are mutually exclusive events.
Which sampling method involves selecting every nth individual from a list after a random start?
Systematic sampling
Cluster sampling
Simple random sampling
Stratified random sampling
