What is the formula for calculating the mean of a set of numbers?

• Sum of numbers multiplied by count of numbers

• Sum of numbers divided by sum of numbers

• Count of numbers divided by sum of numbers

• Sum of numbers divided by count of numbers

What is the formula for calculating the median of a set of numbers?

• Arrange the numbers in ascending order and find the middle value.

• Add all the numbers in the set and divide by the total count.

• Multiply the largest and smallest numbers in the set.

• Find the average of all the numbers in the set.

What is the formula for calculating the mode of a set of numbers?

• There is no specific formula for calculating the mode. It is determined by finding the value with the highest frequency in the set.

• The mode is calculated by finding the average of all the numbers in the set.

• The mode is calculated by adding all the numbers in the set and dividing by the total count.

• The mode is determined by finding the value with the lowest frequency in the set.

What is the range of a set of numbers?

• The range of a set of numbers is the sum of all the numbers in the set.

• The range of a set of numbers is the average of all the numbers in the set.

• The range of a set of numbers is the product of all the numbers in the set.

• The range of a set of numbers is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers in the set.

What is the formula for calculating the variance of a set of numbers?

• variance = (sum((x - mean)^2)) / n

• variance = sum(x^2) / n

• variance = sum((x - mean)^2) / (n+1)

• variance = sum((x - mean)^2) / (n-1)

What is the formula for calculating the standard deviation of a set of numbers?

• Sum of the numbers

• Mean of the numbers

• Square root of the variance

• Product of the numbers

What is the difference between population mean and sample mean?

• The population mean is the average value of a variable in the entire population, while the sample mean is the average value of a variable in a subset of the population (sample).

• The population mean is the maximum value of a variable in the entire population, while the sample mean is the maximum value of a variable in a subset of the population (sample).

• The population mean is the total sum of a variable in the entire population, while the sample mean is the total sum of a variable in a subset of the population (sample).

• The population mean is the median value of a variable in the entire population, while the sample mean is the median value of a variable in a subset of the population (sample).

What is the difference between population variance and sample variance?

• Population variance measures the variability of values in a population, while sample variance measures the variability of values in a sample.

• Population variance measures the central tendency of values in a population, while sample variance measures the central tendency of values in a sample.

• Population variance measures the dispersion of values in a population, while sample variance measures the dispersion of values in a sample.

• Population variance measures the spread of values in a population, while sample variance measures the spread of values in a sample.

What is the difference between population standard deviation and sample standard deviation?

• The population standard deviation is calculated using a sample of the population data.

• The sample standard deviation is always larger than the population standard deviation.

• The population standard deviation is calculated using the entire population data, while the sample standard deviation is calculated using a subset of the population data (a sample).

• The population standard deviation is always larger than the sample standard deviation.

What is the formula for calculating the correlation coefficient?

• (nΣxy - ΣxΣy) / sqrt((nΣx^2 - (Σx)^2)(nΣy^2 - (Σy)^2))

• (nΣxy - ΣxΣy) / (nΣx^2 + (Σx)^2)(nΣy^2 + (Σy)^2))

• (nΣxy - ΣxΣy) / (nΣx^2 - (Σx)^2)(nΣy^2 - (Σy)^2)

• (nΣxy + ΣxΣy) / sqrt((nΣx^2 + (Σx)^2)(nΣy^2 + (Σy)^2))
