IS IT A YES OR A NO ?

INSTRUCTIONS
The group needs to answer to the statement with either
a YES or a NO by simply raising the metacard.

The only time that the group will raise their answer is
when the facilitator gives a go signal.

The group with a wrong answer needs to draw from the

consequence box.
STATEMENT 1

Parameter is the numeral characteristics of

the sample while Statistic is the numerical
characteristic of the population
ANSWER 1

NO
Parameter is the numeral characteristics of the population
Statistic is the numerical characteristic of the sample
STATEMENT 2

Element is a characteristic or attribute of

persons or objects which can assume
different values for different persons or
objects while variable is an object on which
a measurement is taken.
ANSWER 2

NO
Variable is a characteristic or attribute of persons or
objects which can assume different values for different
persons or objects

Element is an object on which a measurement is taken.

STATEMENT 3
Nominal Level- categories are distinct ex. Family structure and
sex
Ordinal Level- the numbers assigned to categories may be
ranked or ordered ex. Likert scale (strongly agree to strongly
disagree)
Ratio Level- strongest level of measurement ex. weight in
kilograms, pounds and income in US Dollars
Interval Level- characterized by common and constant unit of
measurement ex. time in military hours
ANSWER 3

YES
STATEMENT 4
Sampling Units- are non-overlapping collections
of elements of the population that may or may
not cover the entire population
ANSWER 4

NO
Criteria for statistical analysis is that a sample must
represent the statistical population and that the
reliability must be measurable.
STATEMENT 5
Probability Sampling is a procedure wherein every element of the population
is given a (known) nonzero chance of being selected in the sample. The
methods of probability sampling are:

Stratified Sampling
Systematic Sampling
Convenience Sampling
Multi-stage sampling
ANSWER 5

NO
Convenience Sampling- chooses units which come to hand or are
convenient is a non probability sampling

* Simple Random Sampling

* Stratified Sampling
* Systematic Sampling
* Cluster Sampling
* Multi-Stage Sampling
STATEMENT 6
Estimation is concerned with finding a value or range of values for an
unknown parameter.
Test of Hypothesis deals with evaluating a claim or a conjecture about a
parameter or distribution of the population.
Estimation and Test Hypothesis are both problems addressed by summary
statistics
ANSWER 6

NO
Inferential Statistics
STATEMENT 7
Characteristics of Mean:
It always exists and is unique.
It is affected by the value of every observation. In particular, it
is strongly influenced by extreme values.
It is the most familiar measure used, and it employs all
available information.
ANSWER 7

YES
STATEMENT 8
Type I error is the mistake of not rejecting the null hypothesis
when it is false.

The symbol (beta) is used to represent the probability of a type

I error.
ANSWER 8

NO
Type II error is the mistake of not rejecting the null hypothesis
when it is false.
The symbol (beta) is used to represent the probability of a type
II error.
Type I error is rejecting the null hypothesis when its true
STATEMENT 9
margin of error such intervals are sometimes called 95%
confidence intervals and would be expected to contain the true
value of the target quantity
Population is an important factor in determining the margin of error.
ANSWER 9

NO
An important factor in determining the margin of error is the size of
the sample.
Larger samples are more likely to yield results close to the target
population quantity thus have smaller margins of error than more
modest-sized samples.
