The null hypothesis represents the default position or the absence of an effect, while the alternative hypothesis represents the researcher's belief or expectation about the presence of an effect. The alternative hypothesis is what the statistical hypothesis test aims to support or provide evidence for.

85) Which symbol represents odds ratio?

Explanation

The symbol "OR" represents odds ratio. The odds ratio is a measure of the strength and direction of the association between two variables in a case-control or cohort study. It compares the odds of an event occurring in one group to the odds of the event occurring in another group. The OR value indicates whether the odds are higher or lower in one group compared to the other, and it helps in understanding the relationship between variables.

86) Which symbol represents proportion?

Explanation

The symbol "CI" in "95%CI" represents confidence interval, which is a range of values that is likely to contain the true population parameter. In this case, the confidence interval represents the proportion of the population with a certain characteristic or attribute. Therefore, the symbol "CI" represents proportion in this context.

87) Which symbol represents alternative hypothesis?

Explanation

The symbol that represents the alternative hypothesis is denoted by "Ha". The alternative hypothesis is a statement that contradicts or opposes the null hypothesis and suggests that there is a significant difference or relationship between variables. It is typically used in hypothesis testing to determine if there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis.

88) Which of the following is used to describe the probability that an observed effect occurred by chance alone?

Explanation

The p-value is used to describe the probability that an observed effect occurred by chance alone. It is a measure of the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis. A low p-value indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis, suggesting that the observed effect is unlikely to have occurred by chance. Conversely, a high p-value suggests that the observed effect could plausibly be due to chance.

90) The symbol         can be used to _______________

Explanation

The symbol         can be used to indicate the average value in a set of values. This symbol is commonly known as the "ampersand" and is often used in statistics to represent the mean or average of a set of numbers. It is a shorthand way of expressing the concept of taking the sum of all the values in a set and dividing it by the total number of values.

93) Which of the following is used to symbolize a test of independence of groups?

Explanation

The correct answer is chi-square test. The chi-square test is used to determine if there is a significant association between two categorical variables. It is commonly used to test the independence of groups, where the observed frequencies are compared to the expected frequencies under the assumption of independence. By calculating the chi-square statistic and comparing it to the critical value, we can determine if there is a significant relationship between the groups or if any observed differences are due to chance.

Which symbol represents mean?

Explanation

The symbol that represents mean is "M".

Submit
97) The symbol    p     can be used to _______________

Explanation

The symbol    p     can be used to determine whether a result is a real effect or a random outcome. In statistical hypothesis testing, the p-value represents the probability of obtaining the observed data or more extreme results, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. If the p-value is less than the chosen significance level (usually 0.05), it is considered statistically significant, indicating that the result is unlikely to be due to chance alone. Therefore, the p-value helps determine whether the result is a real effect or simply a random outcome.

98) Which of the following is a correct definition for the term "chi-square test"?

Explanation

The correct definition for the term "chi-square test" is a test of independence of groups. This statistical test is used to determine if there is a relationship between two categorical variables. It compares the observed frequencies in each category with the expected frequencies under the assumption of independence. If the calculated chi-square value is significant, it indicates that there is a significant relationship between the variables.

Submit
99) The symbol         can be used to _______________

Explanation

The symbol "    " is commonly used in statistical analysis to indicate a significant difference between two sets of data. This is typically done when comparing grouped or rank data. It is a way to convey that the observed difference between the two sets of data is unlikely to have occurred by chance alone. In other words, it suggests that there is a meaningful distinction between the two groups being compared.

100) Which of the following is used to symbolize how many standard deviations an observation is from the mean?

Explanation

Z is used to symbolize how many standard deviations an observation is from the mean. In statistics, the Z-score represents the number of standard deviations a data point is away from the mean of a distribution. It is calculated by subtracting the mean from the data point and dividing the result by the standard deviation. The Z-score allows us to compare observations from different distributions and determine how unusual or extreme a particular data point is within its distribution.
