Study Notes
Proportions
- p̂: Symbol denotes the statistic for sample proportions.
- p: Symbol denotes the parameter for population proportions.
- 1 sample z interval for p: Procedure used for estimating proportions from a single sample.
- Sample Random Sample (SRS) and Random Sample (RS): Conditions confirming randomness in sampling for proportions.
- 10n≤N: Condition ensuring that the sample size is less than 10% of the population size.
- Large Counts Condition: Requires np̂ ≥ 10 and n(1-p̂) ≥ 10 to validate the normal approximation.
- σp̂=√p̂(1-p̂)/n = SEp̂: Formula to calculate the standard deviation (standard error) of the sample proportion.
- z*: Critical value from the z-distribution for constructing confidence intervals.
- Margin of Error Formula: Defined by z*√p̂(1-p̂)/n.
- Confidence Interval Formula: Given as point estimate ± margin of error; specifically for proportions, it is p̂±z*√p̂(1-p̂)/n.
Means
- x̄: Symbol for the sample mean statistic.
- μ: Symbol for the population mean parameter.
- 1 sample t interval for μ: Procedure used for estimating the population mean from a sample.
- Sample Random Sample (SRS) and Random Sample (RS): Conditions confirming randomness in sampling for means.
- 10n≤N: Condition ensuring sample size adheres to the 10% rule of the population size.
- Normal Condition: Validated by population normality, Central Limit Theorem (n≥30), and absence of strong skewness or outliers.
- σx̄=Sx/√n = SEx̄: Formula for the standard deviation (standard error) of the sample mean.
- t*: Critical value from the t-distribution for confidence intervals involving means.
- Margin of Error Formula: Calculated as t*Sx/√n.
- Confidence Interval Formula: General form is point estimate ± margin of error; specifically x̄±t*Sx/√n for means.
Inference Process
- State: Identify the parameter to estimate and define the confidence level before proceeding.
- Plan: Determine appropriate inference methods (proportions or means) and check necessary conditions (10% and NORMAL).
- Do: If conditions are satisfied, execute calculations using both general and specific formulas.
- Conclude: Interpret the resulting confidence interval in the context of the given problem.
