W7 Lectures t-test, type 1 and 2 errors + distribution of mean sample and central limit theorem + z-test Flashcards
characteristics for a t‐test to test for the mean of paired differences
- Two Related Groups: Same subjects measured twice (before & after).
- Normal Distribution
- Dependent Samples
- Mean Difference: Tests if the average difference between pairs is zero.

t‐test for the mean of paired differences
H0: ud = 0
H1 ud =/ or < or > 0
what test works for all data?
Sign test
what test only works for Normally distributed?
t-test
type I error
when we reject 𝐻0 when it is true - or we conclude that a change has
occurred when it hasn’t
type II error
If we fail to reject 𝐻0 when it is false - or we conclude no change when there is one
the significance level - 𝜶
The probability of making a type I error,
the ‘power’ - 1-𝛽
The probability of detecting an effect if there is actually one present.
The probability of making a type II error
Central Limit Theorem (CLT)
For a large enough sample size n ≥ 30., the sampling distribution of the sample mean approaches a normal distribution, regardless of the population’s distribution.
how do you calculate standard error
standard devotion/ root(n)
Z-test hypotheses
𝐻0: 𝜇 = 9.4
𝐻1: 𝜇 =/ or < or > 9.4
