Test 3 review Flashcards
Graphs for categorical data
Bar Chart (best),
Pie Chart (okay, but no scale),
Pictogram (often
misleading)
p vs. p-hat
p is the population parameter, p-hat is the sample statistic
How to compute p-hat
x / n
standard deviation of p-hat
σ = sqrt(p(1-p) / n)
standard error of p-hat
sqrt(phat(1-phat) / n)
margin of error for p-hat
z*sqrt(phat-hat(1-phat) / n)
One-Sample z Confidence interval for p conditions for use?
- Large sample size or normality
FOR LARGE SAMPLE SIZE:
np > 10, (1-p) > 10 - Randomization
Sampling distribution of p-hat?
All sample proportions
From all possible random samples
Of the same size
Taken from a population
Definition of confidence interval
Range of reasonable values which we predict with certain accuracy the parameter of interest falls under
Computing confidence interval for one sample z confidence interval for proportions
p̂ ± z*√(𝑝̂(1−𝑝̂) / 𝑛)
Interpretation of confidence interval
We are ___% confident that (parameter of interest) is contained in the interval (lower bound, upper bound)
Minimum sample size for categorical data
np > 10, n(1-p) > 10
How conditions are different for confidence intervals and hypothesis tests for p
For confidence intervals you always use p-hat because there is no null hypothesis
For hypothesis tests, you always assume p-null is true, and thus you use it for np rules and test statistics
One-sample z Test for proportions conditions for use?
- Large sample size or normality
FOR LARGE SAMPLE SIZE:
np > 10, (1-p) > 10 - Randomization
One-sample z Test for proportions hypotheses?
H0 p = #, Ha p >, <, =/= #
