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
