QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED
VERIFIED ANSWERS
why do we collect samples? - answer to collect data from
populations to make inferences and answer questions about a
population of interest
element - answer the entity for which data are collected
population - answer the collection of al the elements of interest
sample - answer a subset of the population
simple random sampling of size n from a population of size N -
answer a sample selected such that each possible sample of size
n has the same probability of occurring
point estimation - answer a form of statistical inference in which
we use data from a sample to compute a value of a sample
statistic that serves as an estimate of a population parameter
sampling distribution of x-bar - answer the probability distribution
of a possible values of the sample mean x-bar
