A range of values within which the population parameter is expected:

• Confidence interval A
• Confidence coefficient B
• Confidence limits C
• Level of significance D

The process of making estimates about the population parameter from a sample is called:

• 20 values C
• 30 values D

A range of values used to estimate an unknown population parameter is

• a point estimator A
• An interval estimator B
• an unbiased estimator C
• A biased estimator D

• biased A
• unbiased B
• positively biased C
• none of these D

A single value used to estimate a population value is called:

• Interval estimate A
• Point estimate B
• Confidence interval C
• Level of confidence D

100(1-α)% confidence interval for population proportion of success,&=nbsp;π is

• P (L <μ < U) = 1 - α A
• P (L <σ < U) = 1 - α B
• P (L <π< U) = 1 - α C
• P (L <P&=nbsp;< U) = 1 - α D

The probability associated with confidence interval is called:

• Level of confidence A
• Confidence coefficient B
• Both A and B C
• Confidence limits D

Level of significance is denoted by

• 2 - α A
• 3 - α B
• α C

• two B
• three C
• four D

An estimator is ------------ if its expected value is equal to the population parameter to be estimated

• bad A
• biased B
• unbiased C
• none of these D

Statistic is an estimator and its calculated value is called:

• Biased estimate A
• Estimation B
• Interval estimate C
• Estimate D

Small sample has less than

• 30 values C
• 35 values D

By increasing the sample size, the precision of confidence interval is:

• Decreased A
• Increased B
• Constant C
• Unchanged D

A specific value of an estimator computed from the sample data is called

• estimation A
• estimate B
• interval estimate C
