Why or why not? When is it appropriate to use exploratory research? Can decision-making be<br />

accomplished by using only descriptive research? Why or why not?<br />

(1) What are some of the differences between primary and secondary data? What are some<br />

disadvantages of using newspaper articles or magazine articles as secondary sources? Why<br />

should you use both primary and secondary data in research?<br />

(2) How valid/reliable are the statistics presented on the evening news? Why should we be<br />

concerned with errors resulting from questionnaire design? How do research design and<br />

statistical information affect validity?<br />

(3) What is a real-world example of a sample? A population? Compare and contrast probability<br />

sampling with non-probability sampling, giving an example of each.<br />

(1) What is decision theory? What is the difference between a payoff table and an expected<br />

payoff table? In the following payoff table, let P(S1) = 0.30, P(S2) = 0.50, and P(S3) = 0.20.<br />

Compute the expected monetary value for each of the alternatives. What decision would you<br />

recommend?<br />

(2) What are some differences between discrete and continuous data? Is the measurement of<br />

money continuous or discrete? Explain. Can discrete data be analyzed using a normal<br />

distribution? Why or why not?<br />

(3) Describe the properties of a normal distribution. Explain why there are an infinite number of<br />

normal distributions. Why do we want to assume that our sample data represent a population<br />

distribution?<br />

(1) Why is the population shape a concern when estimating a mean? What effect does sample<br />

size, n, have on the estimate of the mean? Is it possible to normalize the data when the<br />

population shape has a known skew? How would you demonstrate the Central Limit Theorem to<br />

your classmates?<br />

(2) What do confidence intervals represent? What is the most controllable method of increasing<br />

the precision (narrowing) of the confidence interval? What percentage of times will the mean<br />

(population proportion) not be found within the confidence interval?<br />

(3) A mayoral election race is tightly contested. In a random sample of 1,100 likely voters, 572<br />

said that they were planning to vote for the current mayor. Based on this sample, what is your<br />

initial hunch? Would you claim with 95% confidence that the mayor will win a majority of the<br />

votes? Explain.<br />

(1) A significance test is used to prevent a machine from under filling or overfilling quart bottles.<br />

On the basis of a sample, the null hypothesis is rejected and the machine is shut down for<br />

inspection. A thorough examination reveals there is nothing wrong with the filling machine.<br />

From a statistical standpoint, was there a “type” error made? If yes, which type? Explain<br />

(2) Suppose that you perform a significance test regarding a population mean, and that the<br />

evidence does not warrant rejection of the null hypothesis. When formulating the conclusion to<br />

the test, why is the phrase “fail to reject the null hypothesis” more accurate than the phrase<br />

“accept the null hypothesis”? Why can the null hypothesis not be proved? Explain.<br />

(3) A man is on trial accused of murder in the first degree. The prosecutor presents evidence that<br />

he hopes will convince the jury to reject the hypothesis that the man is innocent. This situation<br />

can be modeled as a significance test with the following hypotheses:<br />
