10. What is the standard deviation for these data: 3.784, 3.784, and 3.784
Part B: True or False (11-27)
11. The random sample is the most important, because statistical theory applies to it alone.
12. In a frequency distribution, the class mark is the number of observations that fall within that class.
13. Original class interval frequencies can be obtained by multiplying the respective relative frequencies by the total number of observations.
14. The sum of the class frequencies is equal to the number of observations made.
15. Planning is the most important step in statistical studies.
16. Systematic, stratified and cluster sampling are not approximations to simple random sampling.
17. A relative frequency distribution describes the proportion of data values that fall within each category.
18. There would be no need for statistical theory if census, rather than a sample was always used to obtain information about populations.
19. A random variable is a variable that can take different values according to the outcome of an experiment, and it can be either discrete or continuous.
20. The median always exists in a set of numerical data.
21. means that A and B are mutually exclusive events.
22. Mutually exclusive events imply that if one event occurs, the other cannot occur. An event (e.g.,) and its complement are always mutually exclusive.
23. The mean of the discrete probability distribution for a discrete random variable is called its expected value.
24.When events are not mutually exclusive, the rule is:
25. Rule of addition when event are mutually exclusives:
26. The P(x) is always 0 ≤ P(x) ≤ 1.
27. Events are independent when the occurrence of one event has no effect on the probability that another will occur.
