Quiz zum Vortrag
What is a contingency table?
- A contingency table describes the distribution of two categorical variables at the same time.
- A contingency table describes the distribution of a categorical variable.
- A contingency table describes the distribution of two quantitative variables at the same time.
- A contingency table describes the distribution of a categorical variable over time.
- A contingency table describes the distribution of a quantitative variable over time.
What statement below is correct about marginal distributions?
- The marginal distribution of the column variable can be obtained by looking at the column totals of the table.
- The marginal distribution of the row variable can be obtained by looking at the column totals of the table.
- The marginal distribution of the column variable can be obtained by looking at the row totals of the table.
- The table shows only what the distribution of one of the two variables looks like.
- The table shows only what the distribution of one of the three variables looks like.
What is correct about conditional distribution?
- We only talk about relative frequencies.
- We only talk about absolute frequencies.
- Here, we only pay attention to the observations that take the given value of the first variable.
- Here, we cannot complete a check on our work by making sure that the percentages we came up with add up to 100%.
- We consider the importance of both relative and absolute frequencies.
Which of the following statements is correct?
- Two categorical variables are independent if the conditional distribution of one variable is the same for all categories of the other variable.
- Two categorical variables are dependent if the conditional distribution of one variable is the same for all categories of the other variable.
- If two variables are dependent, we need to show that all of the conditional distributions are different.
- The easiest way to determine dependence is to look at the conditional distribution of one variable for each category of the other variables.
- If two variables are dependent, we need to show that all of the conditional distributions are opposite.
What is Simpson’s Paradox?
- Simpson’s Paradox describes a situation when a trend appears for one group of data but disappears when groups of data are combined.
- Simpson’s Paradox occurs when the data comes out in a way that you do not expect.
- Simpson’s Paradox occurs when the marginal distributions of each of the two variables differ.
- Simpson’s Paradox occurs when the conditional distribution of one variable given one value of the other differs from the conditional variable of one variable given another value of the second variable.
- Simpson’s Paradox describes a trend that only appears when data are combined.
What is another term for a contingency table?
- Two-way table
- Two-times table
- Two-cross table
- Two-fold table
- Three-way table
What is true about the marginal frequency of the category corresponding to the row?
- It can be obtained by adding up all of the entries in that row.
- It can be obtained by multiplying all of the entries in that row.
- It can be obtained by dividing all of the entries in that row.
- It can be obtained by squaring all of the entries in that row.
- It can be obtained by adding all of the entries in other rows.
Relative frequencies should add up to which of the following?
- 100%
- 70%
- 80%
- 90%
- 0%
Percentages we come up with for conditional distributions must add up to which of the following?
- 100%
- 70%
- 80%
- 90%
- 0%
How may Simpson's Paradox be present in a contingency table?
- Simpson's Paradox may occur when the conditional relative frequencies within each variable differ from the overall results.
- Simpson's Paradox may occur when the marginal relative frequencies within each variable differ from the overall results.
- Simpson's Paradox may occur when the conditional relative frequencies within each variable are the same as the overall results.
- Simpson's Paradox may occur when the absolute frequencies within each variable differ from the overall results.
- Simpson's Paradox may occur when the absolute frequencies within each variable are the same as the overall results.

It is better than that I watched in other web site. I really recommend this lecture.
Clear explanations that makes understanding of concepts easy. Relevant examples too
