Confidence Interval and hypothesis test refer to
the population
Precision
describes how much variability there is from one sample mean to the next
more precision
population standard deviation is small
sample size is large
standard error
square root standard deviation over population size
Central Limit Theorem
if the conditions are met and the population mean and standard deviation then the sampling distribution will be approximately normal
Z-test statistic
categorical data
random sample
at least 10 successes and 10 fails
t-test statistic
quantitative data
random sample
nearly normal
matched pairs or independent groups
Chi-square test
categorical data one column or spread sheet
random sample
all expected values greater than or equal to 5
ANOVA
3 or more data sets all measuring the same quantitative variable random sample data sets are independent nearly normal variances are close
reject the null
there is significant evidence
p-value is less than significance level
fail to reject the null
there is not significant evidence
p-value is greater than the significance level
CI
the confidence level is a measure of how well the method used to produce the confidence interval performs
dependent
each observation from one group is coupled with a particular observation from the other group
independent
there is no pairing
