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

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

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

(1-α) is called:

• Critical value A
• Level of significance B
• Level of confidence C
• Interval estimate D

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

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

Types of statistical inferences are

• one A
• two B
• three C
• four D

The endpoints of a confidence interval are called:

• confidence coefficient A
• Confidence limits B
• Error of estimation C
• Parameters D

Estimation is of two types:

• One sides and two sides A
• Type I and type II B
• Point estimation and interval estimation C
• Biased and unbiased D

If population proportion (P) is unknown, the standard error of the sample proportion (p) can be estimated by the formula

• 
  A

  B
• 
  C

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

The standard error of the estimate increased by decreasing

• population A
• sample size B

The difference of upper and lower limits of confidence interval measures the

• level of significance A
• level of confidence B
• interval C
