A school has 800 senior high school students. The average height of these students is 65 in. with a standard deviation of 5 in. Suppose you draw a sample of 45 students. What is the mean of the sampling distribution.
65
A population consists of the numbers 2,3,4,5 and 8. The number of possible samples of size 3 is 12.
False
Standard error is always non-negative.
True
Standard error is influenced by sample variance.
False
Which sample size will give a higher standard error of the mean? A. 12 b. 20 c. 25 D. 35
D
Random samples of 10 are drawn from a population with μ = 90 and σ = 15. The population mean is 10.
False
The t-distribution is symmetric and bell-shaped, like the normal distribution.
True
The t-table is used when the sample size is small (n > 30) and the population standard deviation σ is known.
True
The sample size of 45 will give a smaller standard error of the mean than a sample size of 35.
True
When the population is large and the sample size is small, the correction factor is not used.
True
All confidence levels have the same confidence coefficient.
False
Which of the following sample size will use the t-distribution? a. 100 b.75 c. 50 d. 25
D
The mean of the sampling distribution of the means is less than the population mean.
False
Assuming the standard deviation remains constant. Which of the following sample sizes would result in the largest value of standard error? A) 100 B) 16 C) 25 D) 49
B
Which of the following statements is correct? A. The mean of the sampling distribution of the means is less than the population mean. B. The mean of the sampling distribution of the means is equal to the population mean. C. The mean of the
B
When the confidence level is 99%, ά = 0.1
False
Sampling error and sampling size are directly related.
False
A finite population is one that consists of fixed number of elements.
True
Which standard deviation is a poor estimate of the mean? A. 0.77 B. 0.87 C. 0.97 D. 0.67
C
A standard deviation of 1.45 is a good estimate of the mean than a standard deviation of 0.75.
False
