Accepted Answer

$$s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \bar{x})^2$}{n-1}}$$

Accepted Answer

Mean

Question 12

For the article project, a student needs to determine if the results are statistically significant. Which value is most commonly used as the threshold for statistical significance?

Accepted Answer

$$\alpha = 0.05$$

Question 13

During the Chapter 3 exam, a student is asked to calculate the probability of an event. Which formula should they use for a simple event?

Accepted Answer

$$P(E) = \frac{	ext{Number of favorable outcomes}}{	ext{Total number of outcomes}}$$

Question 14

If a student is asked to interpret a p-value in the final exam, which statement is correct?

Accepted Answer

A small p-value indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis

Question 15

For the Chapter 9 & 10 assignments, a student is asked to calculate the probability of two independent events both occurring. Which formula should they use?

Accepted Answer
