1. Question 1

A/B testing — the correct answer

  • A/B testing ✅

  • Hypothesis testing ❌

  • Time series analysis ❌

  • Regression analysis ❌

Explanation:
Two groups receive different versions of a message to compare engagement — classic A/B testing.


2. Question 2

Correct statements:

  • Before conducting a test, data professionals choose the sample size. ✅

  • Sampling is the process of selecting a subset of data from a population. ✅

  • A population includes every possible element to be measured. ✅

  • Inferential statistics is the process of selecting a subset of data from a population. ❌

Explanation:
Inferential statistics draws conclusions about a population from a sample. Sampling is the act of selecting the subset.


3. Question 3

  • Descriptive statistics ✅

  • Statistical significance ❌

  • Inferential statistics ❌

  • Confidence intervals ❌

Explanation:
They summarize and understand a large dataset using a table, which is descriptive statistics.


4. Question 4

  • Parameter ✅

  • Sample ❌

  • Range ❌

  • Measure ❌

Explanation:
A parameter is a numerical characteristic of a population.


5. Question 5

  • Mean ✅

  • Range ❌

  • Mode ❌

  • Standard deviation ❌

Explanation:
Average time spent = mean.


6. Question 6

  • 2 ✅

  • 4 ❌

  • 10 ❌

  • 7 ❌

Explanation:
Mode = most frequent value → 2 appears twice.


7. Question 7

  • Range ✅

  • Percentile ❌

  • Standard deviation ✅

  • Variance ✅

Explanation:
Range, variance, and standard deviation measure spread (dispersion).


8. Question 8

Values: 1, 2.4, 3.2, 5, 2.8
Range = 5 − 1 = 4

  • 4 ✅

  • 5 ❌

  • 3.2 ❌

  • 2.4 ❌

Explanation:
Range = max − min.


9. Question 9

IQR = Q3 − Q1 = 70,000 − 40,000 = 30,000

  • $30,000 ✅

  • $40,000 ❌

  • $15,000 ❌

  • $55,000 ❌

Explanation:
IQR measures the middle 50% of data.


10. Question 10

  • Mode ✅

  • Median ❌

  • Mean ❌

  • Standard deviation ❌

Explanation:
For categorical data, describe() returns count, unique, top (mode), and frequency.
