Round 1
Probability Basics
$200Events that cannot happen at the same time are known by this descriptor.
$400A set of all possible outcomes for a random experiment.
$600This theorem describes the probability of an event based on prior knowledge of conditions.
$800A distribution where all outcomes have the same chance of occurring.
$1000The likelihood that a specific event will occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.
Data Summarization
$200The middle value in a sorted list of numbers.
$400The most frequently occurring value in a data set.
$600A measure of the dispersion of a set of values relative to their mean.
$800The arithmetic average of a dataset calculated by summing all values and dividing by the count.
$1000This value represents the difference between the maximum and minimum in a set.
Hypothesis Testing
$200The error of rejecting a true null hypothesis.
$400The failure to reject a false null hypothesis.
$600The statement assumed to be true until evidence suggests otherwise.
$800This value represents the probability of obtaining results at least as extreme as the observed results.
$1000A predetermined threshold used to determine if a result is statistically significant.
Regression Analysis
$200The variable that is being predicted or explained in a regression model.
$400This coefficient measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship.
$600The vertical distance between an observed data point and the fitted regression line.
$800A visual tool showing the relationship between two quantitative variables.
$1000This statistic represents the proportion of variance for a dependent variable explained by independent variables.
Sampling Methods
$200Selecting every nth individual from a list.
$400Choosing a sample based on ease of access or proximity.
$600Selecting groups or clusters of individuals rather than individuals themselves.
$800Dividing a population into subgroups and then selecting from each to ensure representation.
$1000Choosing participants entirely by chance where everyone has an equal probability of selection.
Famous Statisticians
$200He is credited with the development of the Chi-squared test.

Double Jeopardy
Probability Basics
$400The sum of the products of each possible outcome and its associated probability.
