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

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

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->=

Quantitative techniques may be defined as those techniques which provide the decision makes a systematic and powerful means of analysis, based on quantitative data,Quantitative techniques may be defined as those techniques which provide the decision makes a systematic and powerful means of analysis, based on quantitative data There are different types of quantitative techniques. We can classify them into three categories. They are: Mathematical Quantitative Techniques Statistical Quantitative Techniques

Cluster: A collection of data objects
similar (or related) to one another within the same group
dissimilar (or unrelated) to the objects in other groups
Cluster analysis (or clustering, data segmentation, …)
Finding similarities between data according to the
characteristics found in the data and grouping similar
data objects into clusters
Unsupervised learning: no predefined classes (i.e., learning
by observations vs. learning by examples: supervised)
Typical applications
