Thanks. I'm taking the course online so some of the material gets fuzzy sometimes.
Statistically speaking yes, but i'm not as good as i use to be.
ask CGI. he has the answers for everything.
| Wagram said: Alright. I'm having a little difficulty with one of my statistics problems. I think i'm just really over thinking it and make it way more complicated than in it needs to be. The problem is: "A few years ago, the IRS received some bad publicity about the quality of information they were providing to phone inquiries. IRS employees were giving incorrect answers to questions coming from people trying to complete their tax returns. Suppose we want to see if the situation has changed. We call the IRS with 100 questions for which we have the correct answers and see how the agents respond. We find that 38% of the answers were incorrect. For this scenario, what is the parameter, sample, estimator and estimate?" If you could drop me an email giving me some advice with this I would appreciate it. |
Guess I know nothing about this kind of statistics.
Thought I was clever - oh well 
I think the parameter the correct-incorrect answer rate. Or percentage of incorrect answers.
Sample: 1 (i guess the 100 questions is 1 sample, rather than 100) that's why they don't have any statistical error.
estimator i a percentage and the estimate is the 38%
Although... I'm not sure =P
