20
Q

Can lead respondents to draw incorrect conclusion

A

Order of Question

21
Q

Refusal to respond by participants affect data

A

Non responses

22
Q

Can affect results

A

Missing data

23
Q

If a number looks very precise, people may think its reliable when it is not

A

Precise numbers

24
Q

Can be misleading or unclear

A

Percentages

25
Q

A blank is an process with a result determined by chance

A

Probability experiment (or trial)

26
Q

Each individual result that is possible for a probability experiment is an blank

A

Outcome

27
Q

The blank is the set of all possible outcomes for a given probability experiment

A

Sample space

28
Q

And blank is a subset of outcomes from a sample space

A

Event

29
Q

What are the four strategies you can use to list all the outcomes in a sample space

A

Pattern, tree, punnett Square, fundamental counting principle

30
Q

Blank uses the outcomes obtained by repeatedly performing an experiment to calculate the probability

A

Experimental probability (or empirical probability)

31
Q

Blank is the most precise type of probability and can only be calculated when all the possible outcomes in a sample space are known and equally likely to occur

A

Classical probability( or theoretical)

32
Q

The blank states that the greater the number of trials, the closer the experimental probability will be to the true probability

A

Law of large numbers

33
Q

Blank is an educated guess regarding the chance that an event will occur

A

Subjective probability

34
Q

A blank is a product of all positive integers less than or equal to a given positive integer, n, given by where n is a positive integer

A

Factorial

35
Q

A blank is a selection of objects from a group without regards to their arrangement

A

Combination

36
Q

A blank is a selection of objects from a group where the arrangement is specific

A
