Parameter - CORRECT ANSWERS️️A numerical characteristic of a population, such as a population mean µ, a population standard deviation σ, a population proportion p, and so on. Target population - CORRECT ANSWERS️️The population for which statistical inferences such as point estimates are made. It is important for the target population to correspond as closely as possible to the sampled population. Sampled population - CORRECT ANSWERS️️The population from which the sample is taken. Sampling distribution - CORRECT ANSWERS️️A probability distribution consisting of all possible values of a sample statistic. Sample statistic - CORRECT ANSWERS️️A sample characteristic, such as a sample mean bar(x), a sample standard deviation s, a sample proportion bar(p), and so on. The value of the sample statistic is used to estimate the value of the corresponding population parameter. Finite population correction factor - CORRECT ANSWERS️️the term √((N-1)/(n-1)) that is used in the formulas for standard deviation of x bar and p bar whenever a finite population, rather than an infinite population, is being sampled. the generally expected rule of thumb is to ignore this when n/N ≤ .05 Simple random sample - CORRECT ANSWERS️️A simple random sample of size n from a finite population of size N is a sample selected such that each possible sample of size n has the same probability of being selected. Standard error - CORRECT ANSWERS️️The standard deviation of a point estimator. Point estimator - CORRECT ANSWERS️️The sample statistic, such as bar(x), s, or bar(p), that provides the point estimate of the population parameter. Central limit theorem - CORRECT ANSWERS️️A theorem that enables one to use the normal probability distribution to approximate the sampling distribution of bar(x) whenever the sample size is large. Point estimate - CORRECT ANSWERS️️The value of a point estimator used in a particular instance as an estimate of a population parameter. Unbiased - CORRECT ANSWERS️️A property of a point estimator that is present when the expected value of the point estimator is equal to the population parameter it estimates. Confidence interval - CORRECT ANSWERS️️Another name for an interval estimate.

consisting of all possible values of a sample statistic.


Sample statistic - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️A sample characteristic, such as a

Finite population correction factor - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️the term
√((N-1)/(n-1)) that is used in the formulas for standard deviation of x bar and p
bar whenever a finite population, rather than an infinite population, is being
sampled. the generally expected rule of thumb is to ignore this when n/N ≤ .05


Simple random sample - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️A simple random sample of
size n from a finite population of size N is a sample selected such that each
possible sample of size n has the same probability of being selected.


Standard error - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️The standard deviation of a point
estimator.


Point estimator - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️The sample statistic, such as bar(x), s,
or bar(p), that provides the point estimate of the population parameter.


Central limit theorem - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️A theorem that enables one to
use the normal probability distribution to approximate the sampling distribution
of bar(x) whenever the sample size is large.


Point estimate - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️The value of a point estimator used in
a particular instance as an estimate of a population parameter.


Unbiased - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️A property of a point estimator that is
present when the expected value of the point estimator is equal to the population
parameter it estimates.


Confidence interval - CORRECT ANSWERS✔️✔️Another name for an interval
estimate.
