Statistics and Probability Practice Problems

1)Fill in the blanks or circle the correct answer for the following: a)If P(A∩B)=P(A)P(B) then A and B are called independent. b)Write the type of the variables i) Student’s N# qualitative ii) Student’s age quantitative-discrete c)If we reject Ho at 5% significance level, then we MUST also reject it at 1% level False. d)A type II Error cannot be committed when i) Hois true. e)Probability of Type I Error is called significance level. f)If the confidence level decreases, then the confidence

Understanding Point Estimates, Confidence Intervals, and Hypothesis Testing

Test 4

Point estimate – single number computed from a sample, which serves as a guess for the parameter.

Estimator – statistic of interest and is therefore a random variable.

Estimate – simply a specific value of an estimator.

Confidence interval – Interval of values constructed so that, with a specified degree of confidence, the value of the population parameter lies within it.

Confidence coefficient – Probability that the CI includes the population parameter in repeated samples.

Confidence level – The

MI CIUDAD

I live in Rota, which is a small town on the south coast of Spain, with a population of over 25.000 inhabitants.

Rota is a beautiful city, and it is great for walking aorund. There are a lot of narrow streets, and it is full of bars, markets and there are three churches. There is a beach and in summer people go to Rota for their holidays. There is an area called Costilla where there are a lot of outdoor bars and restaurants and there is a lot of nightlife on Saturdays.

The weather here is very good.

What is the connection between cartesian geometry and vector geometry? Given a point P in 3-space we associate three numbers x, y, and z with P.  These numbers are called the coordinates of P, and we denote the point (x,y,z) or P(x,y,z) to emphasize the label P.  The result is called a Cartesian Coordinate System for 3-space, and the resulting description in 3-space is called Cartesian geometry.  Vectors are introduced by identifying each point P(x,y,z) with the vector v->=

What is a linear equation?  What is a system of linear equations?  ax+by=c is a linear equation with x and y as variables.  When more than x and y, a linear equation is    a1x1 + a2x2 + . . .+anxn = b where x1, x2, xn are variables.  A finite collection of linear equations in the variables x1, x2,  . . ., xn is called a system of linear equations.  What is a solution for a system of linear equations?  What does it mean to solve a linear system?  Given a linear equation a1x1 + a2x2 +
