Descriptive statistics summarize and organize data.
True
False
The mean is a measure of variability.
True
False
A histogram is a graphical representation of data.
True
False
The mode is the most frequently occurring value in a dataset.
True
False
The median is always equal to the mean in a dataset.
True
False
Standard deviation measures the spread of data around the mean.
True
False
Descriptive statistics allow us to make predictions about a population.
True
False
The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a dataset.
True
False
A frequency distribution shows the number of occurrences of each data value.
True
False
Percentiles divide data into ten equal parts.
True
False
Variance is the square root of the standard deviation.
True
False
The mode can be used for both numerical and categorical data.
True
False
The sum of squared deviations from the mean is always zero.
True
False
Descriptive statistics involve probability and hypothesis testing.
True
False
If all data values are identical, the standard deviation is zero.
True
False
The mean is sensitive to extreme values (outliers).
True
False
Descriptive statistics only apply to numerical data.
True
False
Inferential statistics allow us to make inferences about a population based on a sample.
True
False
Hypothesis testing is used to assess the validity of a claim about a population.
True
False
A larger sample size increases the precision of the estimate of a population parameter.
True
False
The t-distribution is used when the population standard deviation is unknown.
True
False
The z-test is appropriate when the sample size is small and the population variance is unknown.
True
False
The chi-square test is used for testing relationships between categorical variables.
True
False
The standard error of the mean decreases as the sample size increases.
True
False
The alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis we are trying to prove in hypothesis testing.
True
False
Statistical significance always implies practical significance.
True
False
The F-test is used to compare two variances.
True
False
