1. A subset of a population selected to represent the population is a a. Subset b Sample c. small population d. None of the alternative answers is correct. 2. The purpose of statistical inference is to provide information about the a. sample based upon information contained in the population b. population based upon information contained in the sample population based upon information contained in the population c. d. mean of the sample based upon the mean of the population 3. 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 a N has the same probability of being selected b. n has a probability of 0.5 of being selected n has a probability of 0.1 of being selected c. d. n has the same probability of being selected 4. A numerical measure from a population, such as a population mean, is called a. a statistic b. a parameter c. a sample d. the mean deviation 5. A sample statistic, such as f, that estimates the value of the corresponding population parameter is known as a. point estimator b. Parameter c. population parameter d. Both a parameter and a population parameter are correcet. 6. A probability distribution for all possible values of a sample statistic is known asa a. sample statistic b. Parameter c. simple random sample d. sampling distribution 7. The expected value of the random variable F is a. b. the standard error c. the sample size d. A
