Question 1:

"A range of values within which, we believe, the true parameter lies with high
probability" is called:

p statistic

Point estimate

Interval estimate

Z value

Question 2:
The sample mean x̄ is a/an

point estimate of the sample mean.

interval estimate of the sample mean.

interval estimate of the population mean.

point estimate of the population mean.

 Question 3:
Which of the following is NOT a factor affecting the width of Confidence Interval?

sample size

sample mean

standard deviation

confidence level

Question 4:
If the sample size is increased, and all other factors remain unchanged, the width of
confidence interval for a population parameter will .........

decrease

increase

remain unchanged

increase or decrease depending upon specific situation

 Question 5:
You are required to study the effect of a new medicine on a set a set of patients in
recovery from flu. Which of the following tests would you choose for this?

Chi Square Test

F test

Paired t test

2 sample t test or z test depending upon the number of data points

Question 6:
As a part of your study, you want to compare 4 engine lubricants and want to see if
any one of these lubricants significantly makes difference in the mileage. Which of the
following tests would you choose from the list below?

ANOVA

Chi Square

Paired t Test


 Multiple Linear Regression
Question 7:
Look at the output of Anderson-Darling Test for Normality from Minitab. Is the data here
normally distributed with 95% confidence?

No. Because P-Value is greater than 0.05

Yes. Because AD Value is greater than 0.05

No. Because AD Value is greater than 0.05

Question 8:
 Look at the ANOVA table from an analysis done using Minitab. How many factors
were compared in this study?

12

14

Question 9:
Look at the ANOVA table below. Based on this:



Accept Null Hypothesis

Reject Null Hypothesis

Fail to reject Null Hypothesis

Adjust Null Hypothesis

Question 10:
When comparing 95% confidence interval and 99% confidence interval from the same
sample

95% interval will be wider

99% interval will be wider

Both intervals will be of same width

Point estimate in case of 99% interval will fall outside the confidence interval

Question 11:
 Which of the following is the condition for performing two sample t test?

Both populations exhibit normal distribution

Standard deviation is considered to be equal for both populations

Samples are randomly drawn 

All of these

Question 12:
What is chi-square test used for?

to compare means when population variance is considered to be same

to compare means when population variance is considered to be different

to compare means when population standard deviation is considered to be different

goodness-of-fit
