What else can I help you with?
A numerical value used as a summary measure for a sample such as sample mean is known as a?
This is called a sample statistic. They are often used to give a general picture of a more specific whole.
What rule or principle is frequently expressed in statistical symbols?
Here are some commonly used symbols in statistics.μ is used to denote the population mean and σ is used for the population standard deviation. Some other very common and important ones arex (with a bar on top) which is used for the sample mean and s which is used for sample standard deviation.
What is the difference between convenience judgment and random sampling?
Non-probability or Judgement Samples has to do with a basic researcher assumptions about the nature of the population, the researcher assumes that any sample would be representative to the population,the results of this type of samples can not be generalized to the population(cause it may not be representative as the research assumed) and the results may be biased. Probability or Random samples is a sample that to be drawn from the population such that each element in the population has a chance to be in the selected sample the results of the random samples can be used in Statistical inference purposes
When the population standard deviation is unknown and the sample size is less than 30 what table value should be used in computing a confidence interval for a mean?
t-test for means
What distribution does the F distribution approach as the sample size increases?
The F distribution is used to test whether two population variances are the same. The sampled populations must follow the normal distribution. Therefore, as the sample size increases, the F distribution approaches the normal distribution.
Why is a sample used more often than a population?
because it is simpler and more accurate
A numerical value used as a summary measure for a sample such as sample mean is known as a?
This is called a sample statistic. They are often used to give a general picture of a more specific whole.
When can statistics be used to gain information about a population from a sample?
When the sample - whether it is random or systematic - is somehow representative of the population.
A small number of people used to represent an entire population is called a?
A small number of people used to represent an entire population is called a sample. Typically the sample reflects characteristics of the larger population from which it is drawn.
A sample average can be used to estimate a population average precision if the sample is?
large
How much error between sample mean and population mean?
The answer depends on the underlying variance (standard deviation) in the population, the size of the sample and the procedure used to select the sample.
Difference between calculating the sample mean and the population mean?
The same basic formula is used to calculate the sample or population mean. The sample mean is x bar and the population mean is mu. Add all the values in the sample or population and divide by the number of data values.
A numerical value used as a summary measure for a population of data is called?
A numerical value used as a summary measure for a population of data is called a statistic. It helps to describe or understand the data more easily by providing a single value that represents the entire dataset.
Population or sample psychology?
Portion of the entire population used to estimate what is likely happening within a population.
What is the difference between a sample and a census?
A Census is the type of survey for a complete population. A Sample Survey is only a portion of the population which is used to make predictions on the representation of the actual population.
How can you tell if the population data is related to the sample data?
There are Goodness-of-Fit tests that can be used. The choice of test will depend on what is known about the population and sample data.
What is sample and population relationship?
The sample is a subset of the population. For example, the population may be all the people at your school. A sample might be 5 people from each class. There are different types of sampling methods. The most commonly used is a simple random sample. When your obtain data from the entire population this is called a census.
