What is the purpose of a sampling distribution?
A statistic based on a sample is an estimate of some population characteristic. However, samples will differ and so the statistic - which is based on the sample - will take different values. The sampling distribution gives an indication of ho accurate the sample statistic is to its population counterpart.
What is a sampling distribution?
The sampling distribution for a statistic is the distribution of the statistic across all possible samples of that specific size which can be drawn from the population.
Which symbol is a test statistic used to test a hypothesis about a population mean?
The answer depends on what character is used for the variable that is used for the population values.
The process of using sample statistics to draw conclusions about true population parameters is called?
inferential statistic
What is the opposite of a measurable goal?
Nothing.
Is a parameter a measurable characteristic of a sample?
this is false... a parameter is a measure of a mean or mode, a measurable characteristic of a sample is called a statistic.
Is statistic a measure that describes a population characteristic?
Not necessarily.For instance, one can calculate a so-called 't' statistic as a way of testing an hypothesis about one or two population means. Notice that in this case the statistic does not describe a population characteristic.
What word means any measurable characteristic?
You could describe any measurable characteristic as a trait.
A physical property is a characteristic of a substance is one that?
Density is a physical property; physical properties are measurable.
What do you mean by a statistic and its sampling distribution?
A statistic is a summary measure of some characteristic of a population. If you were to take repeated samples from the population you would not get the same statistic each time - it would vary. And the set of values you would get is its sampling distribution.
What is an observable or measurable characteristic of an individual organism called?
Traits
Is a sample a number describing some characteristic of a statistic?
No. A statistic is a number describing a characteristic of a sample.
What is the purpose of a sampling distribution?

What is physical property is a characteristic of a substance is one that?
A physical property is a measurable property.
What structural characteristic definition?
These are either measurable or inferred and contribute directly to a description of the organism(s) of interest.
When using science to investigate physical phenomena which characteristic of the event must exist?
The physical phenomena must be observable and measurable.
What are the two types of measurable population density?
The two typesof population growth are, Logistic Growth and Exponential Growth
