  1. Type I error
  2. Type II error
  3. Significance level
  4. Critical value
Question 3 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

The significance level of a hypothesis test is the probability of:

  1. Rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true
  2. Failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is false
  3. Making a correct decision
  4. Making an incorrect decision
Question 4 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

The critical value of a hypothesis test is the:

  1. Value of the test statistic that separates the rejection region from the non-rejection region
  2. Value of the test statistic that is equal to the significance level
  3. Value of the test statistic that is equal to the p-value
  4. Value of the test statistic that is equal to the null hypothesis
Question 5 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In a confidence interval, the confidence level is the:

  1. Probability that the interval contains the true population parameter
  2. Probability that the interval does not contain the true population parameter
  3. Probability that the sample mean is equal to the true population parameter
  4. Probability that the sample proportion is equal to the true population proportion
Question 6 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

The margin of error of a confidence interval is:

  1. Half the width of the interval
  2. The difference between the upper and lower bounds of the interval
  3. The amount by which the sample mean is likely to differ from the true population mean
  4. The amount by which the sample proportion is likely to differ from the true population proportion
Question 7 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In regression analysis, the dependent variable is the:

  1. Variable that is being predicted
  2. Variable that is used to predict the other variable
  3. Variable that is constant
  4. Variable that is random
Question 8 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In regression analysis, the independent variable is the:

  2. Variable that is used to predict the other variable
  3. Variable that is constant
  4. Variable that is random
Question 9 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

The coefficient of determination (R-squared) in regression analysis is a measure of:

  1. The strength of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables
  2. The amount of variation in the dependent variable that is explained by the independent variable
  3. The proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is accounted for by the independent variable
  4. All of the above
Question 10 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

The slope of the regression line in regression analysis is a measure of:

  1. The change in the dependent variable for a one-unit change in the independent variable
  2. The average change in the dependent variable for a one-unit change in the independent variable
  3. The rate of change of the dependent variable with respect to the independent variable
  4. All of the above
Question 11 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In ANOVA, the F-statistic is a measure of:

  2. The ratio of the mean square between groups to the mean square within groups
  3. The ratio of the sum of squares between groups to the sum of squares within groups
  4. All of the above
Question 12 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In ANOVA, the p-value is a measure of:

  1. The probability of obtaining a test statistic as extreme as or more extreme than the observed test statistic, assuming the null hypothesis is true
  2. The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true
  3. The probability of failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is actually false
  4. All of the above
Question 13 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

In ANOVA, the null hypothesis is that:

In ANOVA, the alternative hypothesis is that:

  1. The means of at least two groups are different
  2. The variances of at least two groups are different
  3. The distributions of at least two groups are not normal
  4. All of the above
