Formula quiz 10

        Help!  

Question
Answer
point estimate   a single number used to estimate a population parameter  
🗑
confidence interval   although a point estimate can be a reasonable approximation of a populatin parameter it is often safer to find an interval into which a parameter could fall  
🗑
onfidence intervgals are intervals in the form of   point estimate plus or minus margin of error  
🗑
a one sample z interval   it is used to estimate a populaton mu wehen the population standard deviation is known  
🗑
the formula for a one sample z interval is   xbar plus or minus zstar times sigma over root n  
🗑
90% CI, z* is   1.645  
🗑
95% CI, z* is   1.96  
🗑
99% CI, z* is   2.58  
🗑
assumptions fo rusing the formula for a one sample z interval   1) an SRS 2) sigma is known 3) either the sample size is larger than 30 or it's normally distributed  
🗑
95% confidence means   f we constructed a 95% confidence interval using every possible sample of the same size, the true population mean would lie in 95% of these intervals  
🗑
the margin of error in in a confidence interval is   the part of the formula that lies in back of the plus minus  
🗑
make the margin of error smaller is   we use a larger samole size or a lower confidence level  
🗑
the smaller the confidence level   the smaller, narrow, the confidence interval, asuming that the sample size is the same  
🗑
msot of the time sigma is unknown, in large samples   we may use s, the sample standard deviation, in place of sigma  
🗑
steps used to confudct a test of significane   1) assumptions 2) null/alt hyp 3) calculate test statistic 4) calculate the pvfalue of the test statistic 5) interpret the results of the test (fail to reject, reject)  
🗑
null hypothesis   the statement that claims that there is no change in the population  
🗑
alternate hypothesis states   that whatever process wwe are testing has had an effet on the population  
🗑
the pvalue of a significane test   is the porbability computed assuming that HO is true that the test statistic would tkake a value as extreme or more extreme than that actaully observed, the smaller the pvalue is the stronger the evidence against HO provided by the data  
🗑
if the pvalue is lessthan alpha   we say tat our data is statisticall significant at this level and reject the null hypothesis  
🗑
the test statistic for a one sample z test is   xbar minusmu over sigma over root n  
🗑
assumptions for a one sample z test   1) the population standard dev is known 2) srs 3) either the sample is large or the population is approvimately normal  
🗑
if H0 is true and you reject Ho   type 1 error  
🗑
if HO is true and you fail to reject HO   then it's the corect decision  
🗑
if HA is true and you reject HO   it's the correct decision  
🗑
if HA is true and you fail to reject HO then   it's a type 2 error  
🗑
if asignificance test has a fixerd significane level of slpah then alpha   is the probability of making a type 1 error  
🗑
the probability of a type 2 error is denoted by   the symbol beta  
🗑
the probability that a fixed level alpha significance test will rejct ho when a particular alternative of the parameter is true   is called the power of the test against that alternative  
🗑
the power of the test is the proabbility that the nll hypothesis   will be rejected if it is false  
🗑
power of the test equals   1-prob (type 2 error)= 1- B  
🗑
there are two ways to increase the power of a significance test   a) increase the sample size b) increase the significance level  
🗑
increasing the significance level increases   the probability of making a type 1 error which, in turn, dcreases the probability of making a type 2 error, which amkes 1- B a larger quantity  
🗑
