Hypothesis Testing (Binomial And Normal) Flashcards
What do you do when the probability you get from P(X< 5) probability distribution is < than the significance level?
- reject the Ho
- There is sufficient evidence to suggest that Ho is true.
- meaning that the hypothesis stated is true.
What do you do when the P(X<5) is > greater than the significance level?
- Fail to reject the Ho.
- There is insufficient evidence to suggest that Ho is true.
For a normal distribution, explain the steps required to carry out a hypothesis test.
- let mu be the population mean … of …
- Ho : p
- H1: p
- Assume Ho is true (Normal distribution)
Remember : the variance is (o^2)/ n
Remember: standard deviation is sqrrt variance. - Do the probability normally
Statement depending on whether the distribution is less that or greater than the sig level.
Is the result significant or insignificant if the probability outcome is greater than > the significance level?
Result is not significant
What if the probability outcome is less than < the sig level, is the result significant or insignificant?
Result is Significant.
What must you always remember in a two tail test?
Half the significance level
For a two tail test in a normal distribution sample means test what must you always do in regards with the mean?
Always work away from the mean.
