1.1 1) Statistics is defined as a numerical summary of a sample; it’s also referred to as the logic of uncertainty.

  1. An individual is a member of the population being studied.

  2. A statistic is a numerical summary of a sample. A parameter is a numerical summary of a population.

  3. This would be categorized as a parameter, because it is giving a numerical summary from a population (females out of US State govenors).

  4. This would be categorized as a statistic , because it is giving a numerical summary from a sample (1300 high school students).

  5. This would be categorized as a parameter, because it is giving a numerical summary from a population (one individual out of many baseball players).

  6. This would be categorized as a statistic, because it is giving a numerical summary from a population (6076 adults from various cities).

  19. Population is all kids who are 13-17 years of age and living in the United States. The sample in this study are the 1028 teenagers contacted who actually participate.

1.2 11) Experimental, because each group is being taught with a different technique; there is intentional direction with the intention of the results being different. 13) Observational, because there is no variable that is added; this survey simply asks individuals what they already like better (Coke or Pepsi).

This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com.

When you click the Knit button a document will be generated that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:

summary(cars)
##      speed           dist       
##  Min.   : 4.0   Min.   :  2.00  
##  1st Qu.:12.0   1st Qu.: 26.00  
##  Median :15.0   Median : 36.00  
##  Mean   :15.4   Mean   : 42.98  
##  3rd Qu.:19.0   3rd Qu.: 56.00  
##  Max.   :25.0   Max.   :120.00

You can also embed plots, for example:

Note that the echo = FALSE parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
