The following statistic are unbiased estimators: |
The Sample mean
S<sup>2</sup> = Σ(X - X)<sup>2</sup>/n-1
The sample proportion
All the above

The distance between an estimate and the estimated parameter is called: |
Sampling error
Standard error
Bias
Error of estimation
|
4 |
By increasing the sample size, the precision of confidence interval is: |
Decreased
Increased
Constant
Unchanged
|
5 |
If (1-α) is increased, the with of a confidence interval is: |
Decreased
Increased
Constant
Same
|
6 |
(1-α) is called: |
Critical value
Level of significance
Level of confidence
Interval estimate
|
7 |
The probability associated with confidence interval is called: |
