which interval Flashcards
population normal and sigma known
x_n±z_(α/2) σ/√n
Population normal sigma unknown
x_n±t_(n-1,α/2) S_n/√n
Population non-normal n greater than 30 sigma known
x_n±z_(α/2) σ/√n
Population non normal n greater than 30 sigma unknown
x_n±z_(α/2) S_n/√n
Population non normal n less than 30
bootstrapping
Type 1 error
Reject H0 when H0 is true
probability less than or equal to significance level alpha
this is a conditional probability
Type 2 error
Fail to reject H0 when H0 is false
probability beta
this is a conditional probability
When to use the Wald interval
When np and n(1-p) are both greater than or equal to 15
When to use Agresti-Coull interval
When np and n(1-p) are both greater than or equal to 5
when to reject H0
When the test statistic is different than Z_alpha (or alpha/2) enough in the direction of H1
OR
P LO HO GO
How to find quantiles
Qtheta = Xn + Sn*Qztheta
Qztheta is from the probability that you are given (ex. 93.27 quantile)
