samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that
the population standard deviations are equal.

Answer Key
Testname: PP3
1) Descriptive statistics
summarizes or describes
important characteristics of
known population data.
Inferential statistics uses sample
data to make inferences or
generalizations about a
population.
2) The margin of error is the
maximum likely difference
between the observed sample
8) 1) n ≤ 30
2) σ is unknown, and
3) the parent population is
essentially normal
9) We are 95% sure that the
interval contains the true
population value for mean

managers at Guiseppeʹs Pizza
and Pasta.
10)
mean x and the true value for
the population mean μ. The
confidence interval is found by
taking the sample mean x and
adding the margin of error E to
find the high value and
subtracting E to find the low
value of the interval. In the
interval 9.65 < μ < 11.35, the
sample mean x is 10.5 and the
error estimate E is 0.85.
3) A point estimate is a single
value used to approximate a
population parameter. The
4)

6)
7)
sample mean x is the best point
estimate of μ.
Provided n > 30, s can be used
in place of σ. If n ≤ 30, the
population must be normal and
σ must be known to use the
formula.
Provided n > 30, the standard
normal distribution is the one to
use. If n ≤ 30, the population
must be normal and σ must be
known to use the formula.
1) Use the range rule of
thumb.
2) Conduct a pilot study and
base your estimate of σ on the
first collection of at least 31
randomly selected values.
The parent population must be
essentially normal; that is, it
must have one mode and be
basically symmetric.

1)p is unbiased (does not
consistently overestimate or
underestimate p).
^
2) p is most consistent (has the
least variation of all the
measures of central tendency).
