C723 Quantitative Analysis |! |! |!
for Business- Final WGU Exam
|! |! |! |! |!
with precise answers |! |!
Hypothesis - Correct answer ✔is an assumption about a population
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
parameter such as a mean or a proportion
|! |! |! |! |! |! |!
null hypothesis (H0) - Correct answer ✔-represents the status quo
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
-states a belief that the population parameter is ≤, =, or ≥ a specific value
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
-believed to be true unless there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
alternative hypothesis (H1) - Correct answer ✔-represents the opposite of the
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
null hypothesis
|!
-believed to be true if the null hypothesis is found to be false
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
-always states that the population parameter is >, ≠, or < a specific value
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
two-tail hypothesis test - Correct answer ✔is used whenever the alternative
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
hypothesis is expressed as ≠ |! |! |! |!
one-tail hypothesis test - Correct answer ✔is used when the alternative
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
hypothesis is stated as < or > |! |! |! |! |! |!
, Type I error - Correct answer ✔-occurs when the null hypothesis is rejected
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
when it is true |! |! |! |!
-when it occurs the producer is looking for a problem in its process that does
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
not exist
|!
Type II error - Correct answer ✔-occurs when we fail to reject the null
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
hypothesis when it is not true |! |! |! |! |!
-when it occurs the customer is getting a product from a process that is not
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
performing properly |!
Correlation analysis - Correct answer ✔-is used to measure both the strength
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
and direction of a linear relationship between two variables
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
-A relationship is linear if the scatter plot of the independent and dependent
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
variables has a straight-line pattern |! |! |! |!
correlation coefficient, r - Correct answer ✔-indicates both the strength and
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
direction of the linear relationship between the independent and dependent
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
variables
population correlation coefficient (ρ) - Correct answer ✔refers to the
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
correlation between all values of two variables of interest in a population
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
confidence interval for the mean - Correct answer ✔is an interval estimate
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
around a sample mean that provides us with a range within which the true
|! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |! |!
population mean is expected to lie |! |! |! |! |!
