hypothesis

lower tail

left tailed

α is called

level of significance

right-tailed test: - t-test

look up value using α and df and keep POSITIVE

lower the level of confidence

narrower the interval

use ____ to create an interval _________. this interval contains more values and we can be a certain levels of confident it contains the _______.

the added variability in the t-distribution is due to

p + q =

1

α= .01

1% represent rejection region 99% represents fail-to-reject region

using the t-table

1. find df (n-1) in first or last column 2. determine if it's one tail (α) or two tailed (α/2) 3. use α or α/2 and find the intersection of the df and tα to determine the critical value - z critical values are at the bottom of t-table

q̂ equals

1-p̂

5 steps to conduct hypothesis test

1. determine null and alternative hypothesis 2. calculate test statistic 3. find p-value OR critical value 4. make decision 5. state conclusion

1. n is randomly selected from the population of interest 2. the population of interest is approximately normally distributed - we use t distribution

2 types of hypothesis are

1. null hypothesis- Ho: no difference 2. alternative hypothesis- Ha: difference

Sampling distribution for x̄: -requirements for large samples (z-distributions)

Sampling distribution for x̄: -requirements for small samples (t-distributions)

1. random sample from population of interest 2. population of interest is approximately normal (use table 4)

α= .05

5% represents rejection region 95% represents fail-to-reject region

left-tailed test

Ha: parameter < "value" - p < p₀ - µ < µ₀

two-tailed test

Ha: parameter ≠ "value" - p ≠ p₀ - µ ≠ µ₀

Population proportion (p) hypothesis test: - left tailed

Ho (null): p = p₀ Ha (alternative): p < p₀ - population proportion is LESS THAN status quo suggests

Population proportion (p) hypothesis test: - right tailed

Ho (null): p = p₀ Ha (alternative): p > p₀ - population proportion is GREATER TAHN status quo suggests

Population proportion (p) hypothesis test: - two tailed

Ho (null): p = p₀ Ha (alternative): p ≠ p₀ - population proportion IS NOT EQUAL to status quo

Population mean (µ) hypothesis test: - right tailed

Ho (null): µ = µ₀ Ha (alternative): µ > µ₀ - population mean is GREATER THAN status quo suggests

Population mean (µ) hypothesis test: - two tailed

Ho (null): µ = µ₀ Ha (alternative): µ ≠ µ₀ - population mean IS NOT EQUAL to status quo

Population mean (µ) hypothesis test: - left tailed

Ho (null): µ = µ₀ Ha (alternative): µ < µ₀ - population mean is LESS THAN status quo suggest

referred to as the researchers hypothesis, is the claim that competes with the null hypothesis. usually the claim researchers try to support with evidence

alternative hypothesis - researcher wants to reject the null hypothesis

fail to reject null hypothesis (Ho)

at α ("value") level of significance, there IS NOT SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE to suggest that the alternative hypothesis is accurate. - replace α and Ha based on problem

reject null hypothesis (Ho)

at α ("value") level of significance, there IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE to suggest that the alternative hypothesis is accurate. - replace α and Ha based on problem

tells us how to estimate the population parameter from the sample data

confidence interval

values which represent extreme values for the distribution based on preset α values. - considered part of rejection region - will change based on type of hypothesis testing - found in tables - doesn't need to be calculated

critical values

1.65, 1.96, 2.33, 2.58 is referred to as

critical values when giving α

two types of error

type I error (reject null) type II error (do not reject null)

occurs when the researcher (not at fault) reject the null hypothesis when the null is accurate. α (level of significance) represents the probability of committing this error

type I error (rejects null)

occurs when researcher (not at fault) fails to reject the null hypothesis when the null should be rejected. the probability of committing this error is referred to as β and usually not known. - as α increases β decreases
