Measures of Central Tendency

This quiz evaluates the students understanding of the measures of central tendency seen in statistics. This quiz is specifically designed to incorporate the measures of central tendency as they relate to psychological research.

Measures of Central Tendency

Tests knowledge of the three main measures of central tendency, including some simple calculation questions.

Know Your Statistical Concepts

Each question is a choice-summary multiple choice question that presents you with a statistical concept and then 4 numbered statements. You must decide which (if any) of the numbered statements is/are true as they relate to the statistical concept.

    Each time the agent can either give the correct number or wrong number, so there are exactly two outcomes of each trial, either success or failure. 3.

  • Binomial Distribution and NC Army National Guard

    This year the number is: 2000 (so n = 2000), the 2 out comes recruiters deal with are do they enlist or do they not enlist so we have a success if they enlist or a failure if they do not enlist (success or failure).

  • Application of the Binomial Distribution to an Aircraft

    is a binomial coefficient. In this case, we have n=4 independent repeated trials (a particular engine succeeding or failing during flight), each with probability p = 0.992 of success (engine not failing) and a probability q = 0.008 of failure.

  • Bernoulli experiment and binomial distribution

    A Bernoulli experiment is a random experiment, the outcome of which can be classified in but one of two mutually exclusive and exhaustive ways, mainly, success or failure (e.g., female or male, life or death, non-defective or defective).

  • Binomial Expansion

    s = success f = failure Ex. Heads is a success. Tails is a failure. 8 coin tosses. 6 heads and 2 tails. 8! *(½)^2(½)^6 * 100 % 6!2! = 10.9 % Therefore, there is a 10.9 % of getting 2 heads in 8 tosses of a coin.

  • Binomial Probability: Women truck drivers

    Each trial has two possible outcomes, women (success) or men (failure). The probability of success, 0.05, is the same for each trial. Each trial is independent.

  • Probability Distributions

    The reason why you have a binomial distribution coming out of each of these questions is that the binomial distribution models a success/failure event.

  • the differences between the binomial and normal distribution

    " or "failure"). 4: The probability of "success" p is the same for each outcome.

  • Binomial distribution in business applications

    This is because companies deal with situations where there can eb just two outcomes, deemed as success and failure, and their sales and market reliability depends on number of successes. The binomial distribution is defined as: f(x) = [n!/(x!
