Across
3. Greek letter representing the mean of a population
[mu]
7. A _ distribution describes the values a statistic
would take in many repetitions of a sample or
experiment under like conditions [sampling]
9. A number that describes a sample [statistic]
10. The variability of a statistic is controlled by the _
of the sample. [size]
11.You should only use the formula for the standard
deviation of p-hat when the population is 10 times as
large as the _ [sample]
12. The CLT is the central _ theorem [limit]
14. When n is large, the shape of the sampling
distribution of p-hat is approximately _ [normal]
15. We can use the normal approximation when np
and n(1-p) are greater than _ [ten]
16. Statistical _ uses data to draw conclusions about
the population. [inference]
Down
1. According to the CLT, the standard deviation of the
sampling distribution of x-bar will be sigma divided by
the _ _ of the sample size [squareroot]
2. A statistic is _ if the mean of its sampling
distribution is equal to the true value of the paramter
being estimated. [unbiased]
4. As the sample size gets larger, the variability of the
sampling distribution gets _ [smaller]
5. A number that describes the population
[parameter]
6. Sampling _: The fact that the value of a statistic will
vary in repeated sampling [variability]
8. The CLT tells us that, regardless of the shape of the
population distribution, the shape of the sampling
distribution of x-bar will be _ if n is large enough.
[normal]
10. Another term that describes the variability of a
sampling distribution [spread]
13. Statistics from _ samples are less variable than
statistics from small samples [large]
