7.2 Finding critical values

Question 1

What is the critical region?

Answer 1

» A region where the probability distribution which, if the test statistic falls within it, would cause you to reject the null hypothesis

Question 2

What is the critical value?

Answer 2

» The first value to fall inside of the critical region

Question 3

What is the acceptance region?

Answer 3

» Where we accept the null hypothesis

Question 4

What is the actual significance level of the test?

Answer 4

» Probability of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis

Question 5

What are the steps of doing a full tailed hypothesis test?

Answer 5

» Define test statistic X - stating is distrubtion and parameter p
» Write null and alternative hypothesis
» Determine probability of observed statistic, assuming null hypo is true
» 2 Part conclusion :
- Do we reject hypothesis or no?
- CONTEXT

Question 6

What is the observed value or more extreme?

Answer 6

» Known as the p - value
» Probability

Question 7

What is the alternative method with critical regions?

Answer 7

» Define test statistic X - stating is distrubtion and parameter p
» Write null and alternative hypothesis
» Determine critical region - By find which test stastic is less then significance value
» 2 Part conclusion :
- Do we reject hypothesis or no?
- CONTEXT
