Estimation of Parameters and Types of Hypothesis Flashcards
This is the kind of reasoning where we estimate the a of a population Mean based on the information obtained by the sample.
Estimation
Also known as Sample Mean
Point Estimate
a number that gives an estimate of a population parameter
Point Estimate
the ratio of the difference between the sample point estimate and the true population parameter value. (maximum error)
Margin of Error
the reliability of an estimate is measured by ____________
Confidence Level
What are the most used Confidence level and their critical value
0.90 or 90% = 1.645
0.95 or 95% = 1.96
0.99 or 99% = 2.58
What is the critical value of 0.90
1.645
What is the Critical Value of 95%
1.96
What is the Critical Value of 0.99 or 99%
2.58
uses interval estimate to define a range of values that includes the parameter being estimated with a specifies level of significance.
Confidence Interval
What is the formula of Confidence Interval?
_ _
x - E < M < x + E
What is the Formula of Margin of Error
