    1) The document contains 8 multiple choice questions about statistical concepts such as the standard normal distribution, Student's t distribution, the central limit theorem, and sampling distributions. 2) The central limit theorem states that the sampling distribution of sample means approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases, even if the population is not normally distributed. 3) Questions cover finding standard normal scores, properties of the t distribution, finding values from the t distribution, means and variances of sampling distributions, and using the central limit theorem to determine if a sampling distribution will be approximately normal.

    2. The Student t distribution:


    a. is symmetrical.
    b. approaches the normal distribution as the degrees of freedom increase.
    c. has more area in the tails than the standard normal distribution does.
    d. All of these choices are true.

    3. What number corresponds to t0.05,10?


    a. 1.812
    b. 1.372
    c. 2.228
    d. 1.833

    4. Given that all possible random samples of size n are taken from any population, which
    of the following would be true?

    A. and .
    B. and .
    C. and .
    D. Need to see the raw data before can make any true statement.

    5. The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) states that if all possible random samples of size n
    are taken from any population, the sampling distributions of sample means becomes
    A. Identical to the population distribution
    B. Approximately normal when the sample size n is large enough
    C. Normal if the original population is not too skewed
    D. Approximately normal for any sample size

    6. If all possible random samples of size n are taken from a population, and the mean of
    each sample is determined, what can you say about the mean of the sample means?
    A. It is larger than the population mean
    B. It is exactly the same as the population mean
    C. It is smaller than the population mean
    D. None of the above

    7. Consider a normal population with and . Suppose a sample of size 9 is


    selected at random. Find:
    a. (i.e. find the likelihood that the sample mean is between 48 and 61)

    = P(-0.40 < Z < 2.20) = 0.6415

    8. It is claimed that the average waiting time at an amusement park is 30 minutes with a
    standard deviation of 15 minutes. A random sample of 65 people was selected and,
    therefore, the mean of this sample belongs to a sampling distribution.
    What is the mean of this sampling distribution?
    30 minutes

    What is the standard deviation of this sampling distribution?

    15/√(65)

    What is the shape of this sampling distribution and why?

    Approximately Normal as n is large. This is an implication of the Central Limit


    Theorem.
