How to spot this family
- Power outage durations:You're given a list of raw data (10–25 values) · a) asks for the average / mean · b) asks for the sample standard deviation · c) asks for a confidence interval for the true mean at some confidence level · d) the width is written as , and asks what is and what it's called
- Cold start ignition time:Given a run of raw data (10–25 values) · a) asks for the average / mean · b) asks for the sample variance · c) asks for a confidence interval for the true mean at some confidence level · d) width written as ; asks what is and what it's called
- Weld gap:Given a run of raw data (10–25 values) · a) asks for the average / mean · b) asks for the sample variance · c) asks for a confidence interval for the true mean at some confidence level · d) width written as ; asks what is and what it's called
- Water pH:You are given a string of raw data (10 to 25 numbers) · a) asks for the average / mean · b) asks for the sample standard deviation · c) asks for a confidence interval for the true mean at some confidence level · d) The width is written as , asking what is and what it is called
