Question

Transcribed Image Text:Match each concept with its definition.
likelihood that an event of a random
experiment will occur
a) Bayes Theorem
b) Central Limit Theorem
rejecting the null hypothesis when the
null hypothesis is true.
c) correlation coefficient
d) definition of independence
The sum of n independently distributed
random variables will tend to be normally
distributed as n becomes large.
e) exponential random variables
f) F-distribution
difference between the observed and the
predicted value of some variable.
g) mutually exclusive events
outcome is not known with certainty in
h) operating characteristic curve
advance
i) overfitting
exact significance level of a statistical
test; probability of obtaining a test statistic that
is at least as extreme as the one observed if the
j) p-value
null hypothesis is true.
k) probability
set of all possible outcomes from a
random experiment
I) random experiment
m) residual
Pr(A|B)
Pr(B|A) Pr(A)
Pr(B)
n) Rule of Total Probability
Pr(A|B) = Pr(A)
o) statistic
failure to reject the null hypothesis when
the null hypothesis is false
p) Sample space
q) Type I error
Pr(B) = Pr (B|A) Pr(A) +
Pr(B|A') Pr(A')
r) Type Il error
summary value calculated from a sample
of abservations; usually an estimator of a
population parameter
ANB = Ø
