Q

Standard error =

A

the standard deviation of the SAMPLE

23
Q

For Means to be NORMAL:

A
  • large enough sample size
  • random
  • independent
  • not larger than 10% of population
24
Q

For Proportions to be NORMAL:

A
  • need at least 10 successes and 10 failures
  • random
  • independent
  • not larger than 10% of population
25
Q

Mean/Proportion problem, finding probability: first find standard error (std. deviation of the sample mean) then JMP =

26
Q

Width of a CI =

A

2(ME) OR (Upper CI - Lower CI)

27
Q

As confidence level increases, the width of the confidence level will

28
Q

If sample size increases, width of the confidence interval will

29
Q

IF null hypothesis is contained within the confidence interval and when null is zero and contained you would

A

FAIL TO REJECT HO

30
Q

IF null hypothesis is NOT contained within the confidence interval or when null is zero and not contained you would

31
Q

P-value tells us the probability of

A

obtaining the sample assuming the null hypothesis is true

32
Q

P-value lower than a (significance level)?

A

REJECT THAT HO
Results are statistically significant
There is sufficient evidence for HA

33
Q

P-val less than 0.01

A

VERY STRONG

34
Q

P-val less than 0.05

35
Q

P-val greater than 0.10

36
Q

To determine where equal variances or not =

A

larger std dev / smaller std dev < 2 then ITS EQUAL/POOLED

37
Q

Ho and Ha are always with the

A

PARAMETERS

38
Q

Means use __ score

39
Q

Proportions use __ score

40
Q

To find the CI of 2 proportions/means…

A

Use Hypothesis Test!!!

41
Q

Previous / expected in a study is the

A

p for the Ho and Ha

42
Q

You get a test statistic then what conclusion?

A

JMP: Dist calculator, input values to calculate probability, put test statistic as value, 2 sided, find p-val and make conclusion

43
Q

Type 1 & 2 Errors!!!

A

1 - Ho True - Reject - Alpha

2 - Ho False - FTR - Beta

44
Q

Increase alpha = increase probability of Type 1 means Type 2 will

45
Q

Increasing sample size will decrease probability of a ___ error

46
Q

Power is

A

ability of a hypothesis test to detect the Ho is false

47
Q

The bigger the effect side, the easier to

48
Q

Chi Sq GOODNESS OF FIT

A

determine if data fits a given distribution
one categorical variable
whole what night people go out more problem

49
Q

Chi Sq INDEPENDENCE

A

determine if two categorical variables are independent

if 3X3 then it must be independence

50
Q

Chi Sq HOMOGENEITY

A

ONE categorical but over TWO populations

first semester, last semester problem testing crammed stuff

51
Q

Linear regression is always ___

52
Q

residual - e =

A

actual (y) - predicted (yhat)
