Anything else Flashcards
What is a hypothesis test
A test using samples or an experiment to determine whether or not to reject the hypothesis
What is the critical value
The first value to fall inside of the critical region
The acceptance region
The region where we accept the null hypothesis
The critical region
The region where we reject the null hypothesis
If two events are independent
P(A n B) = P(A) x P(B)
P(A|B)= P(A)
Discrete uniform distribution
When the probability of each outcome is the same
When can you use binomial distribution
There is a fixed number of trials, there are two possible outcomes, there is a fixed probability of success, trials are independent of each other
If two events are mutually exclusive
P (A n B) = 0
P (A U B)= P(A) + P(B)
What is P(A|B)
It is the probability of A given that B has occurred.
P(A n B) / P(B)
How to find P(A U B)
P(A) + P(B) - P(A n B) or 1 — P(A’ n B’)
When can you use normal distribution
When n is large (n>50 usually)
When the p-value is close to 0.5
