Critical Value of t
Critical Value of t
The critical value of t is the value that separates the rejection region from the non-rejection region in a t-test. It depends on the degrees of freedom (df) and the significance level (alpha).
Rejecting the Null Hypothesis
Rejecting the Null Hypothesis
Rejecting the null hypothesis in hypothesis testing means there is enough evidence to conclude that the alternative hypothesis is likely true. It indicates that the observed data is unlikely to have occurred by chance if the null hypothesis were true.
One-tailed vs Two-tailed Test
One-tailed vs Two-tailed Test
A one-tailed test focuses on a specific direction of the effect (e.g., greater than or less than). A two-tailed test considers both directions (e.g., either greater than or less than).

Study Notes
Hypothesis Testing
- Critical values for a two-tailed test with 12 degrees of freedom and a significance level of 0.05 are ±2.179.
- Rejecting the null hypothesis in a hypothesis test implies the alternative hypothesis is likely true.
- The null hypothesis is rejected if the p-value is less than the significance level (α).
- The p-value approach to hypothesis testing involves the probability distribution of the test statistic.
p-Value
- A p-value, the probability of observing a test statistic as extreme or more extreme than the one calculated from a sample, is not dependent on the sample size.
- The value of the test statistic and the type of test (one-tailed/two-tailed) are needed to calculate a p-value.
- The significance level (α) is used to determine whether to reject or not reject the null hypothesis.
Proportion of Women Suffering from Anxiety
- The hypotheses for a hypothesis test concerning the proportion of women suffering from anxiety are Ho: p ≥ 0.4 and Ha: p < 0.4.
- A test statistic of z = -0.85 and a p-value of 0.1965 were used to determine if the proportion of women in Koko's country suffering from anxiety is significantly less than 40%.
- The conclusion was to not reject the null hypothesis based on the p-value, which does not provide sufficient evidence to conclude the proportion is less than 40%.
- An alternative hypothesis test resulted in Ho: p ≤ 0.4 and Ha: p > 0.4. Test statistic z = 0.88 yielded a p-value of 0.1899, also resulting in not rejecting Ho.
Hypothesis Test for Mean
- Hypotheses for testing whether the mean adoption time is greater than four weeks (μ > 4 weeks) are: Ho: μ ≤ 4 weeks, and Ha: μ > 4 weeks and the test statistic is calculated using the sample data
- To determine if the mean adoption time is significantly greater than 4 weeks, use a p-value to assess the evidence based on the test statistic. The test statistic for this hypothesis test is t = 3.036 and the corresponding p-value = 0.0031. This leads to rejecting the null hypothesis.
Critical Value (z)
- The critical z-value for an 0.0854 significance level, in a two tailed hypothesis test is ±1.764. A critical z-value for a one-tailed test using a 0.01 significance level and n=11 is -2.718.
Other Hypothesis testing concepts
- In a two-tailed test, if the p-value is 0.04 at a significance level of 0.05, reject the null hypothesis.
- To determine whether the average work week is less than 40.3 hours, use Hypotheses Ho : μ ≥ 40.3 and Ha: μ < 40.3.
- For a one-tailed test concerning the average monthly rent, the hypotheses are Ho: μ ≥ 740 versus Ha : μ < 740
Test Statistic and p-value and Confidence Intervals for Means and Proportions
- Calculation of test statistics and p-values, and confidence Intervals are based on sample data, and significance level (α).
- Statistical results (test statistic; p-value, confidence intervals) are used to make conclusions about a population based on a sample.
Regression Analysis
-
Linear Regression analysis involves finding a relationship between an independent variable x and a dependent variable y using data points.
-
The estimated regression equation ŷ = b0 + b1x involves finding values for b0 and b1 to determine the relationship.
-
Determining if there is a significant relationship involves comparing p-values to significance level (α).
-
The strength of the relationship (coefficient of determination), is calculated as R^2 and is used as a way to evaluate how well the model fits the data.
