    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.
