Worksheet time: 7mins
All of these parameters are possible parameters to be estimated EXCEPT:
μ1−μ2
π1−π2
σ1−σ2
None
All of these expressions are statistics that can be used to estimate unknown population parameters, EXCEPT:
s2s1
p2−p1
μ1−μ2
σ2

Which of the following statistical scores is used to construct a confidence interval for the ratio of two population variances?
t score
z score
χ2 score
f score
Suppose a 95% confidence interval for
μ1−μ2 is (-2.13,1.48), what can you conclude?We are 95% confident that there is no difference between the population means.
We are 95% confident that there is a difference between the population means.
We are 95% confident that μ2 is larger than μ1 .
We are 95% confident that μ1 is larger than μ2 .
Is there any difference between population variances at 99% level of confidence if the 99% confidence interval (CI) for the ratio of population variance is (0.78, 1.56)? Verify.
No difference because the 99% CI contains 1.
Yes, there is a difference because the 99% CI does not contain 0.
No difference because the upper limit of 99% CI is greater than the lower limit.
Is it possible that a 90% confidence interval for
π1−π2 is (-0.5, 0.7)? Why?YES, because negative lower limit implies π1 is smaller than π2 .
NO, because any proportion must always be positive.
Which statistical score will you use in constructing a 95% confidence interval for μ1−μ2 if σ1=3, σ2=2, s1=2.8, s2=2.3 and the sample sizes are both 20?

Which of the following expressions is CORRECT?
f0.05,4,8=f0.05, 8, 41
f0.95, 4, 8=f0.05, 4, 81
