Mean value over an infinite number of observations of the variables is the expected value of a random variables.
Data that are influenced by many small and unrelated random effects are approximately normally distributed.
A critical value is a z score separating unlikely values from those that are likely to occur.
It is 90% (or 0.90) confidence level for corresponding value of = 0.20
Solution
1. TRUE: Mean value over an infinite number of observations of the variables is the expected value of a random variables.
2. FALSE: A standard normal distribution has the mean equal to the variance.
3. TRUE: Data that are influenced by many small and unrelated random effects are approximately normally distributed.
4. TRUE: A critical value is a z score separating unlikely values from those that are likely to occur.
5. FALSE. It is 90% (or 0.90) confidence level for corresponding value of = 0.20. [It is 1 - 0.20 = 0.80 confidence]
