Study Notes
Statistics and Probability Reviewer
- Hypothesis: An educated guess explaining a set of facts or natural phenomena.
- Hypothesis Testing: A decision-making process evaluating population claims based on sample characteristics.
- Null Hypothesis (H0): No difference between a parameter and a specific value, or between two parameters.
- Alternative Hypothesis (H1): A difference exists between parameters or a parameter and a specific value.
- Level of Significance (α): A measure of evidence needed to reject the null hypothesis. A stronger effect needs more evidence (higher alpha).
- Type I Error: Rejecting a true null hypothesis.
- Type II Error: Accepting a false null hypothesis.
-
Rejection Region: The values of the test statistic where the null hypothesis is rejected. Also known as the critical region.
-
Directional (One-Tailed):
- Left Tail: Probability in the left tail of the distribution.
- Right Tail: Probability in the right tail of the distribution.
- Non-directional (Two-Tailed): Probability in both tails of the distribution.
-
Directional (One-Tailed):
- Z-test: Used when the sample size (n) is greater than 30.
- t-test: Used when the sample size (n) is less than 30.
- Population: The totality of objects, individuals, or characteristics of interest.
- Sample: A carefully selected group from a population.
- Parameter: A numerical value describing a population characteristic.
- Statistic: A numerical value describing a sample characteristic.
- Test Statistic: A statistical method to test a hypothesis (e.g., Z-test, t-test)
- P-Value Method: Another approach to hypothesis testing.
Other Elements of Hypothesis Testing
-
Population-Proportion:
- p = x/n (sample proportion)
- q0 = 1 - p0
- H0 : p ≤ 0.5 (not a majority)
- H1 : p > 0.5 (a majority) Example to test for whether some value is above or below 0.5 i.e., some value constitutes a majority.
- Bivariate Data: Data dealing with two variables. Useful to understand the relationship between them.
- Scatter Plot: A graph displaying bivariate data.
- Correlation Analysis: Finds the linear relationship between variables.
- Correlation Coefficient (r): Measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between bivariate data.
- Regression Analysis: Identifying the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.
-
Regression Line: A line that best fits the observed data; useful for prediction.
- Independent Variable (X): The hypothesized variable affecting the dependent variable.
- Dependent Variable (Y): The variable whose value relies on the independent variable.
- Slope: Indicates the steepness of the regression line.
- Y-intercept: The point on the y-axis where the regression line intersects.
