1
The form of the alternative hypothesis can be: one or two-tailed

one-tailed

two-tailed

neither one nor two-

one or two-tailed

2
A two-tailed test is one where: results in either of two directions can lead to rejection of the null hypothesis

results in only one direction can lead to rejection of the null hypothesis

negative sample means lead to rejection of the null hypothesis

results in either of two directions can lead to rejection of the null hypothesis
 no results lead to the rejection of the null hypothesis

3
The value set for is known as: O valor definido para é conhecido como The significance level

the rejection level

the acceptance level

the significance level

the error in the hypothesis test

4
In statistical analysis, the burden of proof lies traditionally with:

The Facts

the alternative hypothesis

the null hypothesis

the analyst

the facts

5
When one refers to “how significant” the sample evidence is, he/she is referring to the: P-value

value of

the importance of the sample

the p-value

the F-ratio

6
 What Refers to the degree of significance in which we accept or reject the null-hypothesis.  100% accuracy is not possible for

accepting or rejecting a hypothesis, so we therefore select a level of significance that is usually 5%. Level of significance

Level of significance

Level of importance

p-value

type I error

7
In which error ,we reject the null hypothesis, although that hypothesis was true . Type I error

Type I error

Type II error

Any errors

error free

8
A null hypothesis can only be rejected at the 5% significance level if and only if:

a 95% confidence interval does not include the hypothesized value of the parameter

a 95% confidence interval includes the hypothesized value of the parameter

a 95% confidence interval does not include the hypothesized value of the parameter

the null hypothesis is void

the null hypotheses includes sampling error

9
 we accept the null hypothesis but it is false it is called as _Type II errors__________. 

Type II errors

Type I error

Any errors

error free

10
Why are variance and standard deviation the most popular measures of variability? They are the most simple to calculate with

large data sets

They are the most stable and are foundations for more advanced statistical analysis

They are the most simple to calculate with large data sets

They provide nominally scaled data

They provide no scaled data

11
Why do we use inferential statistics?

Inferential statistics are used to help us to generalise from the sample to the whole population.

Inferential statistics are used to help us to compare the sample to the whole population.

Inferential statistics are used to help us to show the difference between the sample and the whole population.

Inferential statistics are used to help us to generalise from the sample to the whole population.

Inferential statistics can be applied to the use only sample without any population
12
What is the degree to which sample statistics differ from the equivalent population parameter known as? Sampling error

Sampling error.

Selection bias

Selection error

Sample bias

13
Which of the following statements is true?

The smaller the population size, the smaller the relationship will be between the sample mean and the population mean

The smaller the population size, the smaller the relationship will be between the sample mean and the population mean

The smaller the sample size, the closer the sample mean will be to the population mean.

The larger the sample size, the closer the sample mean will be to the population mean.

The larger the population size, the closer the population mean will be to the sample mean.

14
what is cross sectional designs

collection of data from more than respondent in the same time period
 a study of one specific segment of consumer

research design that is free from any personal bias

collection of data from more than respondent in the same time period

a comparison of two or more variables over a long period of time .

15
--------involves the testing of the equality of means of two or more groups. Anova

16
Analysis of variance is a statistical method of comparing the ________ of several populations. Variances

19
The function of a post-test in ANOVA is to_____________ Determine if any statistically significant group differences have

occurred

Determine if any statistically significant group differences have occurred

Describe those groups that have reliable differences between group means.

Set the critical value for the F test (or chi-square).

Set the critical value for the T test (or chi-square).

20
As variability due to chance decreases, the value of F will ___________________ Stay the same

increase
 stay the same

decrease

can’t tell from the given information

21
In ANOVA with 4 groups and a total sample size of 44, the computed F statistic is 2.33 In this case, the p-value is:_____

________ Exactly 0.05

exactly 0.05

less than 0.05

greater than 0.05

cannot tell - it depends on what the SSE is

22
The _______________ is used to determine whether there are any statistically significant differences between the means

of three or more independent (unrelated) groups. one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA

one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)

Two-way Anova

Analysis of Variance

23
A hypothesis is an assumption or a statement that may or may not be true . False
 Hypothesis isn’t assumption

True

False

24
The hypotheses that are proposed with the intent of receiving a rejection for them are called null hypotheses.True

True

False

25
Rejection of null hypotheses leads to the acceptance of alternative hypotheses. True

True

False

26
Which is A test is called one-sided (or one-tailed) only if the null hypothesis gets rejected when a value of the test

statistic falls in one specified tail of the distribution. True

True

False

27
Which is the test is called two-sided (or two-tailed) if null hypothesis gets rejected when a value of the test statistic

falls in either one or the other of the two tails of its sampling distribution. True
 True

False

28
The acceptance or rejection of a hypothesis is based upon sample results and there is always a possibility of a

sample not being representative of the population. False

True

False

29
The standard deviation as a measure of dispersion is independent of units of measurement False

True

False

30
Whether the range could be obtained from interval scale data False
The interval vs ratio scale comes from their ability to dip below zero. Interval scales hold no true zero and can represent

values below zero.

True

False
