This document contains a set of multiple choice questions about statistical concepts including standard deviation, variance, covariance, coefficient of variation, and analysis of variance. It tests understanding of how to calculate and apply these concepts to analyze datasets and compare variation between groups. Key topics covered include how to calculate and denote standard deviation and variance for populations and samples, how covariance measures dependency between variables, and definitions of factors, treatments, and covariates in analysis of variance models.
