I. MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE. Write T if the statement is true, otherwise replace the underlined word/s to
make the statement true. Write your answer on the space provided. (1 point each)
___________ 1. The 95% confidence coefficients are ±1.96.
___________ 2. The mean of the means is called an interval estimate.
___________ 3. The value 99% is also known as the confidence level.
___________ 4. A good estimate of the mean is obtained if the standard error is large.
___________ 5. A point estimate is a specific numerical value of a population parameter.
___________ 6. The descriptive measures computed from a sample are called parameters.
___________ 7. The difference between the sample mean and the population mean is called the sampling error.
___________ 8. The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample means is equal to the population mean 𝜇.
___________ 9. The upper limit of the interval estimate is the value resulting from subtracting the maximum error from
the sample mean.
___________ 10. The Central Limit Theorem states that as sample decreases, the shape of the distribution approximates
the normal curve.
II. COMPLETION. Consider a population consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Suppose samples of size 3 are drawn from
this population. Describe the sampling distribution of the sample means. What is the mean and variance of the
sampling distribution of the sample means? Complete the table below. *All answers should be in fraction form.

1. A nutritionist wants to know the population proportion of Grade 1 learners who eat vegetables. Pegged at a confidence

(5 points)
