Quiz Tomorrow!

Hey! Check out this article (Statistician job profile) from U.S. News for a quick glimpse of how awesome the career of "Statistician" is!

Tomorrow we will start with a short (10 minute) quiz: here's what's on it!
  • Identify the sample (including sample size)
  • Define the population of interest
  • Define the population parameter of interest
  • Identify p-hat, q-hat, and x
  • Check the conditions for a one-proportion z-interval
    • Random sample?
    • sample < 10% of population
    • (n)(p-hat)>10 and (n)(q-hat)>10
    • State "A one proportion z interval is appropriate."

After our quiz we'll get back to the context regarding the % of people who are married or living with their partner, and we'll figure out the formula for a confidence interval! See you there!

So, your only homework tonight is to be ready for the quiz tomorrow! (look over #'s 1,2 on today's stamp/classwork example!)
