Blue 5 • A very important result related to samples from a normal distribution is that: • The sample mean is ____________ distributed. • The sample variance, appropriately scaled, is ____________ distributed. • The sample mean and sample variance are ____________________. • (Fill-in all three blanks for credit).

  8. Blue 6 • What are the 2 properties of pivot quantities and what are pivots used for?

  9. Blue 7 • How would you use the asymptotic normal distribution of many unbiased point estimators to create a confidence interval for their respective parameters? • (You can just give the formula). • Hint: Think of a specific case and generalize.

  12. Blue 10 • How do you form a small-sample confidence interval for a population mean?

  13. Pink 1 • If relative efficiency is computed between two estimators, it means that both estimators were _______________, and if the numerical value of the relative efficiency is 2, then it means that the _____________ (first or second) estimator is better.

  14. Pink 2 • What is the definition of consistency for an estimator? • Bonus: What concept of convergence is this equivalent to?

  15. Pink 3 • For an unbiased estimator, what is the “fast” way of showing consistency? • Bonus: Do you remember what convergence result this was derived from?

  16. Pink 4 • If you have a RS of n observations from a distribution with unknown parameter theta, and T is sufficient for theta, what does that mean?

  20. Pink 8 • Describe how the method of ML estimation works.

  21. Pink 9 • A main property of MLEs is that they are _____________, which means that ….

  22. Pink 10 • If an estimator is NOT admissible (i.e. inadmissible), what does that mean? • Give an example of an inadmissible estimator.

  23. Yellow 1 • What is the difference between simple and composite hypotheses?

  24. Yellow 2 • Describe the relationships between the two types of error in a hypothesis test, as well as their connection to power.

  25. Yellow 3 • If you have a test statistic, you can use either a rejection region approach or a p-value approach to determine if the null hypothesis should be rejected. What is the difference in the 2 approaches? (Describe).

  26. Yellow 4 • For the common large sample asymptotically normal z-tests, what is the rejection region for a 2-tailed test? • Bonus: If the significance level is .05 for this test, what is the range of test statistics where you would NOT reject the null hypothesis (numerical values).

  30. Yellow 8 • What does the Neyman-Pearson Lemma say? • (Get the gist of it, what does it let you find, and how?)

  31. Yellow 9 • How do you determine if a most powerful test is UMP?

  41. Brown 9 • Bayesian hypothesis testing is performed using ______ ________, which are Bayesian analogues of ________ test procedures, and which can allow you to find evidence in favor of your ___________ hypothesis.

  42. Brown 10 • What are some of the issues related to working with Bayes’ factors?

  43. Green 1 • Relationships between two variables, X and Y can be deterministic or ________________. Regression is used when the relationship is _______________. This means that ….
