Parking at a large university has become a very big problem. University administrators are interested in determining the average parking time (e.g. the time it takes a student to find a parking spot) of its students. An administrator inconspicuously followed 250 students and carefully recorded their parking times. The university is interested in using the information from the sample of 250 students collected to learn information about the entire student parking population. Would this be an application of descriptive or...

a. Distinguish between description and inference as reasons for using statistics. b. Suppose you have data for a population, such as obtained in a census. Explain why descriptive statistics are helpful, but inferential statistics are not needed. a. Which statement below best distinguishes description from inference? A. Statistical inference provides useful summaries of the data, while description helps make predictions and decide whether observed patterns are meaningful. B. Statistical inference provides useful summaries of data for a sample, while description...

Suppose you are interested in finding out how happy the students are at UNR. You design a survey that probes aspects of an individual’s emotional life, and using this survey are able to compute an accuracy index score ranging from 0 (completely miserable) to 100 (nauseatingly happy). You know that the standard deviation of the population (sigma) equals 8; however you do not know, and want to know, what the mean of the population (mu) is. Rather than give the...

Write a paragraph or two that defines and contrasts definitions of population, sample, and parameter, descriptive and inferential statistics? Provide three examples of continuous variables and three examples of nominal variables. Identify the independent and dependent variables in the following scenario: A counselor is interested in knowing if one of the two different treatments she is using with depressed clients is more effective in reducing measures of depression in them. Provide an example of a simple frequency distribution.
