In statistics, hypothesis testing is typically used to test claims about a population parameter, not a sample statistic, dataset, or an individual statistic.

The Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) balances goodness of fit with model simplicity by including a penalty for the number of parameters in the model. This discourages overfitting.

For a perfect normal distribution, the skewness value is zero. This is because a normal distribution is perfectly symmetrical, so its left and right tails are identical.

The Chi-square statistic is calculated by summing the squared differences between observed and expected frequencies, each divided by the expected frequency. This reflects how much the observed data deviate from the expected data.

Some potential issues with interpreting the results of factor analysis include: factors can sometimes be hard to interpret, factor loadings can be ambiguous (a variable may load onto multiple factors), and the results can be sensitive to outliers.

Factor analysis helps in understanding the structure of a dataset by identifying the underlying factors that give rise to the pattern of correlations within the set of observed variables. These factors can explain the latent structure in the data.

The Central Limit Theorem holds true when the sample size is sufficiently large (usually n > 30), regardless of the shape of the population distribution. This theorem states that if you have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed.

Effect size measures the magnitude of the difference or the strength of the relationship in the population. A larger effect size means a larger difference or stronger relationship, which in turn increases the statistical power of the test. Power is the probability that the test correctly rejects the null hypothesis when the alternative is true.

A binomial distribution is discrete, meaning it only takes on integer values on a countable range, and it represents the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials with a given success probability. A normal distribution is continuous, and it is often used as a first approximation to the binomial distribution, when the number of trials is large.

The assumption of linearity in a multiple linear regression model assumes that the relationship between each independent variable and the dependent variable is linear. This implies that the change in the dependent variable due to a one-unit change in the independent variable is constant, regardless of the value of the independent variable.
