Chapter 9 The Practice of Statistics AP Stats

To test a claim about a mean, when the population standard deviation is unknown we use:

• z procedures

• Pythagorean Theorem

• t procedures

• np > 10 and n(1-p) > 10

When p-value is greater than alpha we:

• Accept Ho

• Accept Ha

• Fail to reject Ho

• Reject Ho

Margin of error equals:

• Critical Value ∗ standard Error

• z*

• 1.96

• Standard Error

When conducting a significance test for the difference in proportions, why do we pool the data when finding standard error?

• Because we like to swim

• Because we assume p1 = p2 in Ho

• Because the sample sizes are always equal

• To be safe and make sure we don't underestimate the standard error

• Because we don't the standard deviation.

Is this a probability distribution?

• No, the sum of p(x) does not equal 1.

• Yes, all p(x) are between 0 and 1.

• No, all p(x) are not between 0 and 1.

• Yes, the sum p(x) is 1.

Is this a probability distribution?

• No

• Yes

• A

• B

• C

• D

• E

When creating a confidence interval for the difference of 2 proportions, we pool the samples when finding standard error

• True

• False

What do we use to estimate unknown parameters?

• Hypothesis Test

• Confidence Interval

• Trig Identity

• Guess and check

A 95 percent confidence interval of the form p̂ ±E will be used to obtain an estimate for an unknown population proportion p. If p̂ is the sample proportion and E is the margin of error, which of the following is the smallest sample size that will guarantee a margin of error of at most 0.08?

• 25

• 100

• 175

• 250

• 625
