Example Question #1 : Sampling Distributions
A researcher wants to determine whether there is a significant linear relationship between time spent meditating and time spent studying. What is the appropriate null hypothesis for this study?
This question is about a linear regression between time spent meditating and time spent studying. Therefore, the hypothesis is regarding Beta1, the slope of the line. We are testing a non-directional or bi-directional claim that the relationship is significant. Therefore, the null hypothesis is that the relationship is not significant, meaning the slope of the line is equal to zero.

Example Question #2 : Sampling Distributions
The president of a country is trying to estimate the average income of his citizens. He randomly samples residents and collects information about their salaries. A percent confidence interval computed from this data for the mean income per citizen is Which of the following provides the best interpretation of this confidence interval?
percent of the citizens of the country have an income that is between and
There is a percent probability that the mean of another sample with the same size will fall between and
There is a percent probability that the mean income per citizen in the school is between and
If he was to take another sample of the same size and compute a percent confidence interval, we would have a percent chance of getting the interval
There is a percent probability that all the citizens of the country have an income between and
There is a percent probability that the mean income per citizen in the school is between and
A confidence interval is a statement about the mean of the population the sample is drawn from so there is a percent probability that a percent confidence interval contains the true mean of the population.
