    This document provides instructions and questions for a statistical methods assessment covering topics such as population and measurement models, sources of statistical variation, randomization models, moment substitution and ordinary least squares methods, properties of order statistics from uniform and exponential distributions, moment and maximum likelihood estimation, and properties of estimators. Students are asked to distinguish models, identify situations leading to variation, state advantages of randomization, discuss estimation methods, derive distributions of statistics, find estimators and their properties including bias, mean squared error, and probability bounds.
