Point And Interval Estimation

1. Soru

What are the three basic features of a point estimation?

Cevap

  1. An unknown population parameter is to be estimated.
  2. A sample including n independent observations is selected randomly from the population and a particular function of the sample observations is used as an estimate of the parameter.
  3. The sample observations are obtained from the independent random variables X1, X2, … Xn. Thus, the statistic to be calculated is also a random variable. Therefore, the probability distribution of the statistic is called its sampling distribution.

2. Soru

Define the central limit theorem. 

Cevap

Central limit theorem is one of the most important theorems in statistics. If you take independent samples one by one from a population with a known arithmetic mean and standard deviation and calculate the means of these samples, central limit theorem states that the shape of the distribution of the sample means will be approximately Normal distribution. Central Limit Theorem also indicates that without the regard of the shape of a population parameter’s distribution (symmetric, asymmetric, left skewed or right skewed), the sampling distribution of the sample mean approximates to the normal distribution as the sample size increases.


3. Soru

An investigator has found the following sample values for a continuous variable: 8,12,18, and 24. Calculate the point estimate of the population arithmetic mean?

Cevap

It would be ‘15.5’.


4. Soru

Define the point estimation.

Cevap

Generally, the process of estimating a population parameter by a single number derived from the sample is called point estimation.


5. Soru

In an interval estimation problem, the sample arithmetic mean is 45 and the lower limit of the confidence interval is 35, then, for this problem, what is the upper limit of the confidence interval?

Cevap

The upper limit of the confidence interval is 55. 


6. Soru

Define sampling distribution.

Cevap

Generally, the probability distribution of a sample statistic is called sampling distribution of the statistic. A sample statistic is a random variable before the sample observation’s selection. However, after the sampling, a statistic is simply a number.


7. Soru

In an interval estimation problem, the investigator has found the limits of the confidence interval as (140, 170) when the significance level is 0.01. What is the sample arithmetic mean that was used in this confidence interval problem?

Cevap

The sample arithmetic mean that was used in this confidence interval problem is 155.


8. Soru

What is the sampling distribution of the sample mean?

Cevap

The sampling distribution of the sample mean is the probability distribution of all possible sample means that can be created from a population with a fixed sample size of n.


9. Soru

What are the two different situations in calculating Confidence Interval for Population Mean µ?

Cevap

There are two important situations in the calculation of confidence interval for a population mean. The first case is that we use sample data to estimate the unknown value of population mean µ with the value of sample mean found from a random sample of size n, and also the population standard deviation ? is known beforehand. The second case is that we use sample data to estimate the unknown value of population µ with the value of sample mean found from a random sample of size n, and also the population standard deviation ? is not known. In the second case, instead of the population standard deviation ?, the sample standard deviation s is used as the substitute.


10. Soru

If you create one sample from a population and calculate a statistic about a population parameter from this sample, how do we call this estimation method?

Cevap

We call this ‘Point Estimation’. 


11. Soru

When you use sample arithmetic mean to estimate the population mean, if the sample arithmetic mean of a variable is 65, then what is the point estimate of the population arithmetic mean of the same variable?

Cevap

The point estimate of the population arithmetic mean of the same variable is 65.


12. Soru

A teacher has counted the students in a class for a course in the morning and have noticed that 10 children is absent out of 67 students. The teacher has counted that there are 41 female students in the course this morning. What is the population proportion estimate of female students in this class?

Cevap

The population proportion estimate of female students in this class is 41/57. 


13. Soru

In order to estimate the population parameter if the investigator creates a range, what is this estimation procedure called in statistics?

Cevap

This estimation procedure is called Interval Estimation.


14. Soru

In a population there are 120 observations. An investigator has measured the weight of 12 objects and the results are: 12, 23, 14, 14, 15, 13, 10, 10, 9, 10, 9, and 11. Using the point estimation, what is the value of the population arithmetic mean weight?

Cevap

Using the point estimation approach, we can safely say that the value of the population weight is equal to the 12.50 kilogram.


15. Soru

Define the estimate of a population parameter.

Cevap

To obtain information about a population parameter, such as the value of population mean µ or population proportion ?, a random sample of objects from the population is usually created. Then, the sample statistic found from the values of the sample observations is used for predictions about population parameter.


16. Soru

For what purpose is interval estimation used?

Cevap

While it is known that the value of the point estimate of a population parameter gets closer to real value of population parameter as sample size increases, we would like to measure how close the point estimate really is to the actual value. For this purpose, interval estimation is used. An interval estimation of a population parameter, demonstrated by ? in general, includes two limits or boundaries.


17. Soru

The frequency of broken products in a sample of 4000 is 80. What is the point estimate of population proportion for broken products?

Cevap

The point estimate of population proportion for broken products is ‘0.02’.


18. Soru

In an interval estimation problem, the population standard deviation is not known, and the sample standard deviation is found as 48, if there are 12 observations in the sample, what is the value of the standard error that is be used in the confidence interval calculations?

Cevap

The value of the standard error that is be used in the confidence interval calculations is 4.
