2nd Year Stat ch.12 Test

This document appears to be notes or questions from a statistics course. It includes multiple choice and short answer questions about key concepts in statistical inference such as: - The different approaches to statistical inference (estimation and hypothesis testing) - Types of estimation (point and interval) - Definitions of estimators, estimates, bias, and confidence intervals - Formulas for variance, standard deviation, and confidence intervals - Examples of calculating confidence intervals from sample data The questions cover both conceptual understanding of foundational statistical terms as well as practical applications of estimating population parameters from sample data.
