Statistics & Probability Practice Test 3

This document contains a quiz on statistics and probability concepts like the central limit theorem, sampling distributions, standard error, and normal distributions. It includes 29 multiple choice questions testing understanding of how sampling distributions approach normality as sample size increases, how to calculate variance, standard deviation, and standard error of means from population parameters, and properties of the central limit theorem. The questions cover topics like finding probabilities and z-scores for normally distributed data and sampling distributions.
