Sampling distributions Worksheet

1. A probability distribution of all the possible means of the samples is a distribution of the
sample means.
a. TRUE
b. FALSE

2. A single sample selected from the population gives the of the population parameters.
a. Sample
b. Average
c. Whole value
d. Estimate

3. Why might it be a good idea to take multiple samples while working on a study?
a. Samples may not align with what you were hoping to find in your study, so
taking more samples might help find what you were looking for.
b. Data from samples need to be taken multiple times to make sure that the data is
accurate.
c. Samples may have some variability so taking more samples will give a more
accurate representation of the population.
d. It is not a good idea to take multiple samples, then there would be too much
data that might not support the right outcome of study.

4. The gives us a description of a given variable in a population.


a. Parameter
b. Sample
c. Survey
d. None of the above

5. If the sampling distribution is normally distributed, is the population normally distributed?


a. Yes
b. No

6. Charlie was working on a study for his whole school involving test scores and study time. He
collected data from a small sample of students from his school, but he found that the study
time for all the students he asked were all about the same and it wasn't representative of the
school. What might he be able to do and why?
a. He should take out some possible outliers in the sample he has collected already
to give him more representative data for the whole school.
b. He should ask another sample of students in his school to give him more
representative data for the whole school.
c. He should ask the students in his class to make sure that his class is represented in the
study.
d. He should ask another sample of students outside of his school to give him a
more representative sample for all students.

7. If you had 100 pennies and were asked to record the age of each penny, predict the shape of the
distribution. (The age of a penny is the current year minus the date on the coin.)
a. The data would be skewed toward older pennies because there are more new pennies.
b. The data would be skewed toward new pennies because there are more older pennies.
c. The data would show a normal distribution since n = 100.
d. None of the above

8. The sampling distribution depends on the :


e. Statistic being considered
f. Sampling procedure employed
g. Sampling size used
h. All of the above

9. The standard error is important in dealing with statistics which are normally distributed.
a. TRUE
b. FALSE
