What are the two reasons why a sample statistic will differ from the claimed population
parameter? - ANSWER✅1. The claimed population parameter is incorrect
2. We are just seeing a chance random sample fluctuation (sampling error)
How do we decide if the computed sample statistic is unusual or not for a given
population? - ANSWER✅We compute the probability of getting a sample result out in
the tail and compare that probability to the level of significance. If the probability is less
than or equal to the level of significance, then the sample result is unusual (and we
have evidence that the claimed population parameter is incorrect)
When testing a single parameter, what will the null hypothesis look like? - ANSWER✅It
will be of the form "parameter = claimed value"
For example,
p = 0.07
or
mu = 78.2 pounds
What is the parameter of interest in this course when we collect qualitative data? -
ANSWER✅p = the percentage of ALL objects in the population that are in some
category of interest
What is the parameter of interest in this course when we collect quantitative data? -
ANSWER✅mu = the mean measurement of ALL objects in the population
What is the definition of Type I error? - ANSWER✅After looking at the sample data,
you decide to reject the null hypothesis when in fact the null hypothesis is true.
(rejecting the truth)
What is the definition of Type II error? - ANSWER✅After looking at the sample data,
you decide to not reject the null hypothesis when in fact the null hypothesis is false
(failing to reject a lie)
What is the symbol for the "level of significance"? - ANSWER✅alpha (check your
notes for symbol, looks like the "Jesus" fish)
If the sample evidence leads you to reject the null hypothesis, how is the conclusion
stated? - ANSWER✅There is significant evidence to conclude the alternative
hypothesis.
