the normal distribution
the t distribution with n degrees of freedom
the t distribution with n + 1 degrees of freedom
the t distribution with n + 2 degrees of freedom
QUESTION 2
An estimate of a population parameter that provides an interval of values believed to contain the value of the parameter is known as the
confidence level
interval estimate
parameter value
population estimate
QUESTION 3
The value added and subtracted from a point estimate in order to develop an interval estimate of the population parameter is known as the
confidence level
margin of error
parameter estimate
interval estimate
QUESTION 4

QUESTION 7
As the sample size increases, the margin of error
increases
decreases
stays the same
increases or decreases depending on the size of the mean
QUESTION 8
The ability of an interval estimate to contain the value of the population parameter is described by the
confidence level
degrees of freedom
precise value of the population mean μ
degrees of freedom minus 1
QUESTION 9
In general, higher confidence levels provide
wider confidence intervals
narrower confidence intervals
a smaller standard error
unbiased estimates
QUESTION 10
An interval estimate is a range of values used to estimate
the shape of the population's distribution
the sampling distribution
a sample statistic
a population parameter
QUESTION 11
As the number of degrees of freedom for a t distribution increases, the difference between the t distribution and the standard normal distribution
becomes larger
becomes smaller
stays the same
becomes negative

22
23
60
61
QUESTION 13
After computing a confidence interval, the user believes the results are meaningless because the width of the interval is too large. Which one of the following is the best recommendation?
Increase the level of confidence for the interval.
Decrease the sample size.
Increase the sample size.
Reduce the population variance.
