DECK 8: HYP TESTS 2 Power/Conditions/Chi-Square/Regression Flashcards
What is the “you think it worked but it didn’t” error?
Type 1
What is the missed opportunity error? (the “I didn’t notice” error)
Type 2
IF you are testing to see if a marketing program increases sales, describe a type 1 and type 2 error.
Type 1: you think it increased sales but it didn’g
Type 2: It actually increased sales but you didn’t notice
If you are testing to see if a math program works in your town (that will cost 4 million to implement) describe a type 1 and type 2 error.
Type 1: you think it worked, but it didn’t so you spend 4 million on a program that isn’t good.
Type 2: It worked, but you didn’t notice, so you miss the opportunity to adopt a good math program.
If there is a screening test for mathphobia, describe a type 1 and a type 2 error
Type 1: You think the person has mathphobia, but they don’t
Type 2: They have mathphobia, but you didn’t notice
Can you decrease alpha while increasing power (even though they move together?)..
Yes.. increase samle size. They move together with constant sample size.
How are power and alpha related?
they go up and down together
How else can you explain power?
The likelihood you correctly reject a false null.. The likelihood you correctly detect what you were trying to detect
If you are doing a 2 tailed test with alpha=.05.. What confidence interval goes with that?
95% confidence interval (there is .025 in each tail)
If you are doing a one tailed test with alpha=.05.. What confidence interval goes with that?
90% confidence interval tests a one tailed test. There is 5% in the tail.
How can you increase power?
Increase alpha or increase sample size..
Can you draw the alpha/beta/power diagram?
BE ABLE TO SKETCH THE ALPHA BETA POWER DIAGRAM from the original pregnancy worksheet. Know where everything is. This helps you understand how alpha, beta and power interact.
What is beta?
It is probability that you’ll make a Type II error.. P(Type II error)
how are beta and power related
as one increases, the other decreases, and vice versa. They have to because they BOTH ADD TO ONE!!! Power + Beta = 1
What is the null for a 2 prop Z?
p1=p2 OR… p1-p2=0, there is no diff
What is the null for a 2 sample mean T?
mu1=mu2 OR mu1-mu2=0 there is no diff
What is the null for a paired T test?
xbar diff=0 (the average diff is zero)
What is the null for a chi squared GOF test?
The distribution fits [the expected distribution]
What is the null for a chi squared test for homogeneity?
The [samples of —] are similarly distributed.
WHat is the null for a chi squared test for independence”
The [two variables in context] are independent.
When you are doing PAIRED or MATCHED or BLOCKED tests.. What are you finding?
The average difference.. You are doing 1 sample procedures on a NEW THIRD LIST OF DIFFERENCES
What is difference between 2 Samp T test and a PAIRED T Test
In a two sample T test you are comparing TWO SAMPLE AVERAGES to eachother. In a PAIRED T test you are looking just at JUST ONE average of the THIRD LIST… They are paired.. So you find each individual BEFORE-AFTER and take the average of all of those differences. You do ONE SAMPLE T TEST on it because you really have one mean. You just the average or the difference list.
How do you find df in 2 samples?
USE CALCULATOR.(or smaller sample-1). you have to run an interval or a test on your TI and read the output (unless you want to use the equation.)
when is data “paired”
when you have 2 measurements of the same variable on the same subject (or matched subjects)
