1.

The level of significance (alpha) is the risk we assume of rejecting the null hypothesis
(H0).
2. The mean height of a population has been known as 154cm, and their standard deviation
as 30cm. Today, a random sample of 100 people from the population shows that the
sample mean is 160cm. Then, Z statistic becomes 3 in comparing the two means.
 I think it’s -2
3. As p-value is lower, the chance of accepting an alternative hypothesis (H1) is higher.
4. The ANOVA test does not tell us which pair and how many pairs of the means are
different significantly.
5. The estimated regression equation becomes Y’=100-4X1+2X2. The correlation coefficient (
r ) between Y and X1 is supposed to be 0.8. Then, the correlation coefficient between X1
and X2 would be small.
6. F test does not distinguish between the one tail test and the two tail test, and the p-value
from the F test is the one for the one tail test.
7. An interaction effect cannot be analyzed in the case of two-way ANOVA without
replication.
8. If the significance level (alpha) is 5% in a hypothesis test, then we can allow up to (and
including) 5% type 1 error.
9. The residual (or random effect) in the one-way ANOVA test represents how much
variation exists across the different columns (or different groups).
10. For the paired (two group) data, we do not have to worry about the fairness issue in
comparing the two group means.
11. When we carry out a hypothesis test, a significance level (alpha) is not required to
calculate a p-value.
12. The coefficient of determination (r square) in the regression analysis represents how good
the slope is in the regression line.
13. The alternative hypothesis (H1) fir an ANOVA test means that all the means are different
significantly.
14. The paired T test is appropriate if the sample sizes of two groups are the same.
15. In a company, its old medication’s effect has been known as 10 days on average. Recently,
the company has developed a new medication, and reported that its mean effect is 9
days and the standard deviation is 4 days, based on a random sample of 16 patients.
Then, probably we would accept H0 (mu = 10) in the hypothesis test.
16. The strength of the correlation between two variables depends on the sign of the
correlation coefficient ( r).
17. If we accept the alternative hypothesis (H1) in a hypothesis test, then we actually make a
Type 2 error.
18. There would be a weak interaction effect in an ANOVA test, if there are a lot of lines that
are crossed.
19. The correlation coefficient (r ) is not designed to tell us how sharp (or how significant) the
slope is in the regression equation.
20. The one-way ANOVA test is to see a relationship between the column names and their
means.
21. To compare two independent group’s variances, we use F test to see if there is a
significant difference between the two variances.
22. The F distribution is positively skewed and its values on the horizontal axis range from 0
to positive infinity.
23. When we have a X-bar old and a X-bar today and then want to test if there is a
significant gap between the two means, we will use T distribution in the case that a
today’s standard deviation is available.
24. Suppose that we use a one-tail test to compare two means, set its hypothesis as H0:
 mu>=70 and H1: mu<70, and then have the Z value (or Z statistic) = 3. Then we can
accept H1, because 3 is enough far from zero, so the p-value will be so small that would
be less than 1%.
25. The multicollinearity (or intercorrelation) problem in the regression analysis may happen
when the correlation between the dependent and independent variables are high.
26. The term “block” in the ANOVA test stands for the collection of column names (or
column headings).
27. To deal with a qualitative (or categorical) variable in the regression analysis, we use a
scheme of variables which are valued either zero or one.
28. In the regression analysis, the F test is an individual test, whereas the T test is an overall
test.
29. The case of samples characterized by a “before” and “after” study for the same persons
(or the same objects) can be an example of dependent data.
30. The degree of freedom for the regression in the simple regression becomes n-1, where n
is the number of data for the Y variable.
31. If there are five categories (or statues) in the qualitative variable,, then we need to employ
four independent variables to cover the qualitative variable in the regression analysis.
32. The treatment variation in one-way ANOVA test represents how much difference exists
among the different column means.
33. If all the lines appear to be completely parallel in an ANOVA test, we can conclude that
there is no interaction effect between the column names and the row names.
34. If we have dependent (two group) data, then we do not worry about (or we do not need
to carry out) the variance difference test between the two groups.
35. For the same medication taken by two independent groups, the heterogeneous group’s
variance for the medication’s effect would be larger than the homogeneous group’s
variance.
