Review Questions

1] define the following:


1. Biostatistics: statistical process and methods applied to collect,
organize, present and analyze bio-data
2. Statistical thinking: involves critical thinking and the ability to
make sense of results. Statistical thinking demands so much more
than the ability to execute complicated calculations
3. Population: The complete collection of all measurements or data
that are being considered. Typically, a population is the complete
collection of data that we would like to make inferences about
4. Sample: A subcollection of members selected from a population
5. Parameter and Statistics: Parameter is a numerical measurement
describing some characteristic of a population, Statistic
6. a numerical measurement describing some characteristic of a
sample
7. Simple event: is an outcome or an event that cannot be further
broken down into simpler components
8. Compound event: is any event combining two or more simple
events.

2] Data can be divided into Quantitative and Categorical (or qualitative


or attribute) data
3] Quantitative data divided into Discrete and Continuous
4] Types of sampling are Simple Random Sample
and Systematic Sampling and Stratified Sampling and Cluster Sampling

5] Give example for:


1. categorical variable: Gender (male/female)
2. Discrete variable: The number of tosses of a coin before getting
tails
3. Continuous variable: The lengths of distances from 0 cm to 12
cm
4. Simple event: one female in a single birth / Rolling a die and
getting a 4
5. Compound event: Rolling a die and getting an even number (2, 4,
or 6)
6. disjoint events: The events of "rolling a 2" and "rolling a 5" in a
single roll of die
7. Independent events: Flipping a coin and getting heads, and
rolling a die and getting a 4 are independent events.

6] From the following data 3, 5, 3, 6, 1, 3 find:


1. Mean =3.5 2. Median =3 3. Mode =3
4. Range= 5 5. Variance= 2.58 6. Standard deviation=1.61
7] Which of the following measures is resistant:
Mean, median, variance
8] If the variance = 9 the standard deviation = 3

9] If the standard deviation = 9 the variance = 81


10] If the range = 30 and number of classes = 6 then the class width = 5
11] Number of classes in frequency distribution should not exceed 20
12] Number of classes in frequency distribution should not be less than
5
13] Given the following frequency distribution:
Class 2–5 6–9 10 – 13 14 – 17 18 - 21
f 5 8 9 6 3
1. The midpoint of the class (10 – 13) is 11.5
2. The class width of the class (14 – 17) is 4
3. The relative frequency of the class (6 – 9) is 0.258
4. The cumulative frequency of the class (10 – 13) is 22
14] In histogram the horizontal axis represent midpoints (True or

false) 15] If P(A) = 0.4 , P(𝐴̅ ) = 0.6

16] P(A) + P(𝐴̅ ) = 1 (True or false)


17] -1 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1 (True or false)
18] If P(A) = 0.3 , P(B) = 0.4 find P(A or B) if A and B are disjoint 0.7
19] If P(A) = 0.3 , P(B) = 0.4 find P(A or B) if A and B are
independent 0.58

20] 20] Given the following probability matrix:


Infected Not infected
Male 10 30
Female 20 40

Find:
1. P(male) =0.4
2. P(infected) = 0.3
3. P(not infected female) = 0.4
4. P(male\infected) = 0.33
