Question | Answer |
Centeral Limit Theorem | As the sample size n increases without limit, the shape of the distribution of the sample means taken with replacement from a population with mean and standard deviation or will approach a normal distribution. |
Type I | Occurs if you reject the null hypothesis when it is true. |
Type II | Occurs if you do not reject the null hypothesis when it is false. |
Critical Region | The range of calues of the test value that indicates that there is a significant difference and that the null hypothesis should be rejected. |
Two tailed test | The type of hypothesis in which the alternative claims that the mean is not equal to a particular value rather the claim is greater or less that that value. |
One tailed test | Either a right tailed test or left tailed test depending on the direction of the inequaliity of the alternavie hypothesis. |
Degree of freedom for the t test | The number of values that are free to vary after a sample statistic has been computed, and they tell the researched which specific curve to use when a distribution consists of a family of curves. |
Level of significance | The maximum probability of committing a type I eror. |
P-value | The probability of getting a sample statistic or a more extreme sample statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true. |
Permutation | An arrangement of n objects in a specific order. |
Combination | A selection of distinct objects without regard to order/ |
2 major branches of statistics | Descriptive statistics Inferential Statistics |
4 reasons why samples are used in statistics | It saves time Less costly Provides room for better accuracy and effectiveness Product conservativeness It allows the use of more qualified hands/professionals and better equipments |
Standard deviation measure | The sum of dispersion or distance of individual value away from the mean. |
Outlier | An extremely high or extremely low data value when compared with the rest of the data values. |
Chebyshev's theorem | The proportion of values from a data set that will fall within k standard deviations of the mean will be at least 1-1/k squared, where k is a number greater than 1 (k is not necessarily an integer). |
Characteristics of the binomial distribution | Must be a fixed number of trials. Each trial can have only 2 outcomes or can be reduced to 2 considered either success or failure. Outcome of each trial must be independent of one another. The probability of a success must remain same for each trial |
