Study Notes
One-Tailed Hypothesis Tests
- A one-tailed test focuses on one direction of the alternative hypothesis.
- The critical region is located in one tail of the distribution.
- Significance level (α) is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. In one-tailed tests, the significance level is applied entirely to one tail of the distribution.
- The decision rule depends on whether the test is left-tailed or right-tailed.
Two-Tailed Hypothesis Tests
- A two-tailed test considers deviations from the null hypothesis in both directions.
- The critical region is split between the two tails of the distribution.
- Significance level (α) is divided between the two tails.
- The decision rule involves comparing the test statistic to both upper and lower critical values.
Hypothesis Testing
- A procedure for evaluating a claim about a population parameter.
- Hypotheses are statements about the population parameter.
- The objective is to decide if the evidence supports the claim.
- Null hypothesis (H₀) is the statement of no effect or no difference.
- Alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) is the claim being tested.
Confidence Intervals
- An interval estimate of a population parameter calculated from a sample statistic.
- Confidence level represents the probability that the interval contains the true population parameter.
- Confidence level is expressed as a percentage, e.g., 90%, 95%, 99%.
- Common confidence levels have corresponding critical values. These critical values define the range within which the population parameter value is likely to fall. The critical values depend on the confidence level to be achieved.
Sample Size Determination
- Determining the appropriate sample size needed for a given level of accuracy.
- Factors such as confidence level, desired margin of error, and population standard deviation or sample standard deviation play a critical role in this process. The sample size required is influenced by both the desired precision of the calculation and the confidence level.
Standard Error
- Standard deviation of a sampling distribution of a sample statistic
- A function of the standard deviation of the population and the sample size; smaller sample sizes tend to give greater variability, leading to a higher standard error
Examples of Hypothesis Testing
- Testing average fabric strength
- Average spending per customer
- Average number of breads sold daily
- Number of daily newspaper readers.
