assigned to any group, improving validity of results.




What does the central limit theorem state?

distribution as the sample size increases, regardless of the population's shape.




What is statistical inference?


✔✔Statistical inference involves making conclusions about a population based on sample data,

often using estimates and hypothesis testing.




What is a confidence level, and what does it indicate?


✔✔A confidence level indicates the degree of certainty that a confidence interval contains the

population parameter, commonly set at 95% or 99%.

, How does increasing the sample size affect the margin of error?


✔✔Increasing the sample size reduces the margin of error, making estimates more precise and

reliable.




What is the primary purpose of regression analysis?


✔✔Regression analysis examines relationships between variables to make predictions about a

dependent variable based on one or more independent variables.




What does it mean for results to be statistically significant?


✔✔Statistically significant results indicate that the observed effect is unlikely to be due to

chance, suggesting a real difference or relationship exists.




What is the law of large numbers?


✔✔The law of large numbers states that as sample size increases, the sample mean approaches

the population mean, improving estimate accuracy.




What is meant by variability in a dataset?


✔✔Variability refers to how spread out data points are, showing the diversity or dispersion

within a dataset.
