Study Notes

Statistical Measures and Relationships

  • The median is the statistical measure least affected by extreme values, providing a better central tendency for skewed distributions.

Hypothesis Testing Errors

  • A Type I error occurs when a true null hypothesis is incorrectly rejected, leading to a false positive result in hypothesis testing.

Measuring Relationships

  • The correlation coefficient is commonly used to assess the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables, with values ranging from -1 to 1.

Normal Distribution and Data Percentages

  • In a normal distribution, approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation from the mean, illustrating the spread of data around the central average.

Confidence Intervals

  • The primary purpose of a confidence interval is to provide a range of values that likely contains the true population parameter, offering a measure of uncertainty in statistical estimates.
