MCQs Estimation Quiz 7

MCQs from Statistical Inference cover the topics of Estimation and Hypothesis Testing for the preparation of exams and different statistical job tests in Government/ Semi-Government or Private Organization sectors. These tests are also helpful in getting admission to different colleges and Universities. The online estimation quiz MCQs will help the learner to understand the related concepts and enhance the knowledge too.

Most of the MCQs on this page are covered from Estimate and Estimation, Testing of Hypothesis, Parametric and Non-Parametric tests, etc. Let’s start with the MCQs quiz of estimation with answers.

12. If the population Standard Deviation is unknown and the sample size is less than 30, then Confidence Interval for the population mean ($\mu$) is

 
 
 
 

Statistical inference is a branch of statistics in which we draw conclusions (make some wise decisions) about the population parameter by using sample information. Statistical inference can be further divided into Estimation of the Population Parameters and Testing of the Hypothesis.

Estimation is a way of finding the unknown value of the population parameter from the sample information by using an estimator (a statistical formula) to estimate the parameter. One can estimate the population parameter by using two approaches (I) Point Estimation and (ii) Interval Estimation.

In point estimation, a single numerical value is computed for each parameter, while in an interval estimation a set of values (interval) for the parameter is constructed. The width of the confidence interval depends on the sample size and confidence coefficient. However, it can be decreased by increasing the sample size. The estimator is a formula used to estimate the population parameter by making use of sample information.

If you Found that the any POSTED MCQ is/ are WRONG
PLEASE COMMENT below the MCQ with the CORRECT ANSWER and its DETAILED EXPLANATION.

Don’t forget to mention the MCQs Statement (or Screenshot), because MCQs and their answers are generated randomly

Basic statistics deals with the measure of central tendencies (such as mean, median, mode, weighted mean, geometric mean, and Harmonic mean) and measure of dispersion (such as range, standard deviation, and variances).

Basic statistical methods include planning and designing the study, collecting data, arranging, and numerical and graphically summarizing the collected data.

Basic statistics are also used to perform statistical analysis to draw meaningful inferences.

Basoc Statistics

A basic visual inspection of data using some graphical and numerical statistics may give some useful hidden information already available in the data. The graphical representation includes a bar chart, pie chart, dot chart, box plot, etc.

Companies related to finance, communication, manufacturing, charity organizations, government institutes, simple to large businesses, etc. are all examples that have a massive interest in collecting data and measuring different sorts of statistical findings. This helps them to learn from the past, noticing the trends, and planning for the future.

MCQs Chi-Square Association

This post is about MCQs on Chi-Square Association.
The relationship/ Dependency between the attributes is called association and the measure of degrees of relationship between the attributes is called the coefficient of association. The Chi-Square Statistic is used to test the association between the attributes. The Chi-Square Association is defined as

$$\chi^2 = \sum \frac{(of_i – ef_i)^2}{ef_i}\sim \chi^2_{v},$$

where $v$ denotes the degrees of freedom

The following is the MCQs Chi-Square Association Test

Please go to MCQs Chi-Square Association to view the test

Attributes are said to be independent if there is no association between them. Independence means the presence or absence of one attribute does not affect the other. The association is positive if the observed frequency of attributes is greater than the expected frequency and negative association or disassociation (negative association) is if the observed frequency is less than the expected frequency.
