6- Probability Flashcards
Probability
used to predict the type of samples that are likely to be obtained from a population (connection between samples and population)
random sampling
requires that each individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected (1/17) take one marble out (1/16)
independent random samping
each individual has an equal chance of being selected and that the probability of being selected stays constant from one selection to the next
describe unit normal table
column A: lists z-score values
column B: the body
column C: the tail
column D: proportions between mean and z-score
if an individual in the sample have scores around the original population mean, then we must ________________
if an individual in the sample have scores around the original population mean, then we must conclude that the treatment appears to HAVE NO affect
if an individual in the sample have scores that are significantly different then original population mean, then we must ________________
if an individual in the sample have scores that are significantly different then original population mean, then we must conclude that the treatment appears to HAVE AN affect
how do you know what is “significantly different” from the pop mean?
if they are past the critical region of the end 5% on either side
