Basic Statistics Quiz

This quiz covers fundamental and basic statistics concepts that everyone in class has probably already mastered at some point in their past. So, this quiz is probably a simple refresher.

This quiz is not "busy work." Your mastery of these concepts will be assumed in our class discussions after the quiz deadline. Some of the concepts listed below (e.g., variance) have formulas, but you don't need to memorize any of the formulas for this class. Instead, you need to have a solid conceptual understanding of what each concept really means and how it relates to the other concepts.

In case you want to test your knowledge before you take the quiz, I have made available a practice "self evaluation" quiz (click here to begin).

In case you want to refresh your memory on these concepts, I have created some instructional materials (click on each topic below.).
