A IRS auditor randomly selects 3 tax returns from 45 of which 15 contains errors What is the probability that she selects none of those containing errors?
.2861
What is four sigma?
It could refer to four standard errors. If an observation from a Gaussian (normal) distribution is 4 standard errors away from the mean, it has an extremely low probability.
To cut the maximum likely error in half the sample size should be?
... should be increased by a factor of 4. Note that this implies that the only errors are statistical (random) in nature; increasing the sample size won't improve systematic errors.
Whats the difference between random errors and systematic errors?
Random errors - Random errors can be evaluated through statistical analysis and can be reduced by averaging over a large number of observations. Systematic errors - Systematic errors are difficult to detect and cannot be analyzed statistically, because all of the data is off in the same direction (either to high or too low). Spotting and correcting for systematic error takes a lot of care.
What is gaussian distribution and what is its significance in least squares analysis?
From a technical perspective, alternative characterizations are possible, for example: The normal distribution is the only absolutely continuous distribution all of whose cumulants beyond the first two (i.e. other than the mean and variance) are zero. For a given mean and variance, the corresponding normal distribution is the continuous distribution with the maximum entropy. In order to make statistical tests on the results it is necessary to make assumptions about the nature of the experimental errors. A common (but not necessary) assumption is that the errors belong to a Normal distribution. The central limit theorem supports the idea that this is a good approximation in many cases. The Gauss-Markov theorem. In a linear model in which the errors have expectation zero conditional on the independent variables, are uncorrelated and have equal variances, the best linear unbiased estimator of any linear combination of the observations, is its least-squares estimator. "Best" means that the least squares estimators of the parameters have minimum variance. The assumption of equal variance is valid when the errors all belong to the same distribution. In a linear model, if the errors belong to a Normal distribution the least squares estimators are also the maximum likelihood estimators. However, if the errors are not normally distributed, a central limit theorem often nonetheless implies that the parameter estimates will be approximately normally distributed so long as the sample is reasonably large. For this reason, given the important property that the error mean is independent of the independent variables, the distribution of the error term is not an important issue in regression analysis. Specifically, it is not typically important whether the error term follows a normal distribution. In a least squares calculation with unit weights, or in linear regression, the variance on the jth parameter, denoted , is usually estimated with where the true residual variance σ2 is replaced by an estimate based on the minimised value of the sum of squares objective function S. The denominator, n-m, is the statistical degrees of freedom; see effective degrees of freedom for generalizations. Confidence limits can be found if the probability distribution of the parameters is known, or an asymptotic approximation is made, or assumed. Likewise statistical tests on the residuals can be made if the probability distribution of the residuals is known or assumed. The probability distribution of any linear combination of the dependent variables can be derived if the probability distribution of experimental errors is known or assumed. Inference is particularly straightforward if the errors are assumed to follow a normal distribution, which implies that the parameter estimates and residuals will also be normally distributed conditional on the values of the independent variables.
Auditors who prefer statistical to nonstatistical smapling believe that the principle advantage of statistical sampling flows from its unique ability to?
mathematically measured errors
Distinguish between determinate error and indeterminate error?
Indeterminate errors are random errors that randomly fluctuate and cannot be eliminated. Determinate errors
What is the literacy rate in the Czech Republic?
99,9% 0,1% is reserved for statistical errors.
What is involved with statistical quality control?
Statistical quality control involves using statistical methods to monitor and improve the quality of products and processes. This includes collecting and analyzing data, setting quality standards, identifying sources of variation, and implementing strategies to reduce defects or errors. Statistical tools like control charts, hypothesis testing, and regression analysis are commonly used in statistical quality control.
How long is 20 linear meters?
Allowing for statistical errors, measurement errors, the Lorenz contraction of space time due to relativity, and any other factor, it is exactly 20 metres.

What has the author Lyman George Parratt written?
Lyman George Parratt has written: 'Probability and experimental errors in science'
What is meant by the term normalize?
Normalize may refer to the term in mathematical logic or theoretical computer science, it may refer to statistical technique for making two distributions identical. It may also be removing statistical errors from measured data pieces.
Behavioral biases?
Biases can be basically labeled as either cognitive errors or emotional biases. A single bias, however, can have components of both with one type of bias dominating. Basically, cognitive errors emanate from the basic statistical, information processing, or memory errors; cognitive errors usually result from faulty reasoning.
To cut the maximum likely error in half the sample size should be?
... should be increased by a factor of 4. Note that this implies that the only errors are statistical (random) in nature; increasing the sample size won't improve systematic errors.
What is Hypothesis Testing of Goodness-of-Fit?
A test using relative errors comparing a frequency table to the expected counts determined using a given probability distribution; the null hypothesis is that the given probability distribution fits the data's distribution.
