Term
Two types of errors in Hypothesis testing.
Definition
Type I: if Null Hypothesis is rejected when it is true
Type II: if Null Hypothsis is accepted when it is false
Term
In Criminal trial, what corresponds to the significance level of a Hypothesis test?
Definition
Reasonable doubt
Term
Symbol for a sample mean
Definition
x with line above
Term
Symbol for a sample proportion
Definition
P hat
Term
Symbol for a Sample standard deviation
Definition
s
Term
Symbol for a Population mean
Definition
mu
Term
Symbol for a population proportion
Definition
p
Term
Symbol for a Population standard deviation.
Definition
lower case sigma
Term
Identify the population parameter (mean, proportion, or standard deviation) being tested and the distribution
(Standard Normal or Chi-Square) that you would use to conduct the hypothesis test for a claim about a
basketball player’s shooting percentage.
Definition
Mean/Standard Normal
Term
Identify the population parameter (mean, proportion, or standard deviation) being tested and the distribution
(Standard Normal or Chi-Square) that you would use to conduct the hypothesis test for a claim about a
basketball player’s points scored per game.
Definition
Proportion/standard normal
Term
Identify the population parameter (mean, proportion, or standard deviation) being tested and the distribution
(Standard Normal or Chi-Square) that you would use to conduct the hypothesis test for a claim about a
basketball player’s c) game to game consistency (or inconsistency) in total points scored.
Definition
Standard deviation/Chi-Square
Term
Two types of Statistical analysis
Definition
Inferential and descriptive
Term
Define ANOVA (analysis of Variance) Hypothesis test
Definition
Used to compare means of three or more populations.
Term
Define a two sample Z test
Definition
Used to test the difference between two population means when the large sample is randomly selected each is independent.
Term
Define a two sample F test
Definition
used to compare two population variances.
Term
Define a discreet variable.
Definition
has a finite or countable number of possible outcomes that can be listed. Most often represent counted data.
Term
Define a continuous variable.
Definition
Has an uncountable number of possible outcomes. Most often measured data.
Term
What 2 conditions must a discreet probability distribution satisfy?
Definition
1. The probability of each value is between 0 and 1, inclusive.
2. The sum of all probabilities equal 1.
Term
Mean of a discreet random variable.
Definition
Mean = Ex(P)x
Term
Symbol for population Variance is?
Definition
lower case sigma Squared
Term
Symbol for standard variation is?
Definition
lower case sigma
Term
Define expected value.
Definition
The mean of a random variable represents what you would expect to happen over thousands of trials...or expected value.
Term
Conditions for a binomial experiment are?
Definition
1. experiment is repeated for a fixed # of trials, and each trial is independent.
2. There are only 2 possible outcomes: Success (S) and failure (F).
3. The probability of success P(S) is the same for each trial.
4. The random variable x counts the number of successful trials.
Term
How do you find a binomial probability using T84?
Definition
hit: 2nd distr.
then: 0: binompdf
Enter: n,p,x
Term
What does the mean of a bell shaped distribution tell you about the graph of the distribution?
Definition
the mean is where the distribution is centered.
Term
What does the standard deviation of a bell shaped distribution tell you about the graph of the distribution?
Definition
It tells you how much the distribution is spread out from the mean. the higher the standard deviation, the more spread out the data from the mean.
Term
What is the range possible for Z scores in a standard normal distribution?
Definition
-3.49, 3.49
Term
Suppose a variable x is known to be uniformly distributed. What does the Central Limit Theorum tell you about the distribution of x(line), for n=30?
Definition
The sampling distribution of the variable x (line) will be approximately normally distributed.
Term
Define level of Confidence.
Definition
The prob that the interval estimate contains the pop parameter.
Term
If sample size is kept constant and the confidence level is increased, what effect would it have on the margin of error of a confidence interval estimate?
Definition
If sample size is kept constant, an increase in confidence level will increase margin of error.
Term
Does rejecting the null hypothesis mean you are concluding the alternative hypothesis to be true?
Definition
Yes.
