1. 
Which of the following is false?

The distribution of areas of houses in Ames is unimodal and right-


skewed.

50% of houses in Ames are smaller than 1,499.69 square feet.

Correct Response 

The middle 50% of the houses range between approximately 1,126


square feet and 1,742.7 square feet.

The IQR is approximately 616.7 square feet.

The smallest house is 334 square feet and the largest is 5,642
square feet.

4. 
Which of the following is true about the elements in the sampling
distributions you created?

Each element represents a mean square footage from a simple


random sample of 10 houses.
Correct Response 

Each element represents the square footage of a house.

Each element represents the true population mean of square


footage of houses.

5. 
It makes intuitive sense that as the sample size increases, the center of the
sampling distribution becomes a more reliable estimate for the true
population mean. Also as the sample size increases, the variability of the
sampling distribution ___________.

decreases

Correct Response 

increases

stays the same

6. 
Which of the following is false?

The variability of the sampling distribution with the smaller sample


size (sample_means50) is smaller than the variability of the
sampling distribution with the larger sample size
(sample_means150).

Correct Response 

The means for the two sampling distributions are roughly similar.

Both sampling distributions are symmetric.


Both sampling distributions are symmetric.
