Nd Hyp Testing Flashcards
N and n differences
N = POP And n = sample
What does CLT stand for and what does it mean?
The central limit theorem
Concept that mean provides unbiased estimate of the population mean (if sampling process was carried out over and over again, sample mean would on average produce pop mean
What is another symbol for mean?
X bar
Sample mean or x bar =
X bar squiggle n brackets mean , so squared over n
Step 1 of hyp
Write out h0 and h1 using greater/less/not = to
Then specify mean (pop mean weight of)
Step 2 of hyp
State significance level - if none is mentioned in q then use 5%
Step 3 of hyp
Set pop distribution assuming null is true then state sample dis
Step 4 hyp
Calculate p-value (prob) calc
Step 5 hyp
Compare p val with significance level + make conclusions
