Question

Q1 If all other quantities remain the same, what affect does increasing the standard deviation, have on the width of the confidence interval?

It will widen the confidence interval

It will make the confidence interval more narrow

It will have no affect on the confidence interval.

Q2 The product of Z(alpha/2) multiplied by the the standard error is refered to as

A Point Estimate

An Interval Estimate

Level of Confidence

Margin of Error

Standard Error

Q3

The following is true regarding the central limit theorem

The central limit theorem is the probability of a binomial distribution

The central limit theorem describes the relationship between the sampling distribution of sample means and the population that the samples are taken from

The central limit theorem assumes a probability value of 0

The central limit theorem is related to the poisson distribution  

The central limit theorem has nothing at all to do with statistics   

Q4 What percentatge of a normal distribution is associated with an interval that lies within 2 standard deviations (plus / minus) of the mean?

0%

68%

95%

99.7%

100%

Q5

The following are properties of the normal distribution

The mean, median and mode are equal

The normal curve is bell shaped and symmetric about the mean

The total area under the normal curve is equal to one

The normal curve approaches, but never touches, the x-axis as it extends farther and farther away from the mean

all of the above

Q6   

The standard normal distribution is a normal distribution with the following characteristics

A mean of 1 and a standard deviation of 0

A mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1

A mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10

All of the above

None of the above

a.

It will widen the confidence interval

b.

It will make the confidence interval more narrow

c.

It will have no affect on the confidence interval.
