What are the differences between standard deviation and variance?
Standard Deviation: Measures the spread of data around the mean, in original units. | Variance: Measures the average squared distance from the mean, in squared units.

What are the differences between standard deviation and variance?
Standard Deviation: Measures the spread of data around the mean, in original units. | Variance: Measures the average squared distance from the mean, in squared units.
What are the differences between a one-sample z-test and a two-sample z-test for proportions?
One-Sample: Compares a sample proportion to a known population proportion. | Two-Sample: Compares the proportions of two independent samples.
What are the differences between the Central Limit Theorem and the Large Counts condition?
Central Limit Theorem: Applies to means (quantitative data), stating that the sampling distribution of the sample mean approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases. | Large Counts Condition: Applies to proportions (categorical data), ensuring the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is approximately normal.
Differentiate between a point estimate and a confidence interval.
Point Estimate: A single value used to estimate a population parameter. | Confidence Interval: A range of values likely to contain the population parameter, providing a measure of uncertainty.
What are the differences between Type I and Type II error?
Type I error: Rejecting a true null hypothesis (false positive). | Type II error: Failing to reject a false null hypothesis (false negative).
What is the formula for the standard deviation of the difference in sample proportions?
Define 'sampling distribution of the difference in proportions'.
Distribution of all possible differences in sample proportions you could get if you repeated the study many times.
What is 'standard error'?
The standard deviation of a sampling distribution.
Define 'point estimate'.
A single value estimate for a population parameter.
Define 'nonresponse bias'.
Bias that occurs when certain groups are more or less likely to respond to a survey.
What is the 'Large Counts' condition?
Condition to confirm normality for proportion inference, verifying that $n_1p_1 ge 10$, $n_1(1 - p_1) ge 10$, $n_2p_2 ge 10$, and $n_2(1 - p_2) ge 10$.
