AP stat
Across
- 3. a formal procedure for using observed data to decide between two competing claims
- 4. claim we weigh evidence against in a significance test
- 6. the specific value of a point estimator
- 9. two events are (blank) when the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of the occurrence of the other
- 11. the claim that we are trying to find evidence for in a significance test
- 13. the success rate of the method that produces the confidence interval
- 14. if we reject the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true
- 18. tells how close the estimate tends to be to the unknown parameter in repeated random sampling
- 20. if the observed result is not very unlikely to occur when the null hypothesis is true
Down
- 1. if we fail to reject the null hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis is true
- 2. if the p-value is less than alpha
- 5. The probability, computed assuming the null hypothesis is true, that the statistic would take a value as extreme as or more extreme than the one actually observed
- 7. the number of values that can vary in a stats calculation
- 8. if the observed result is too unlikely to occur just by chance when the null hypothesis is true
- 10. when the standard deviation of a statistic is estimated from data, the result is the (blank) of the statistic
- 12. a statistic that provides an estimate of a population parameter
- 15. statistic + or - (critical value)(standard deviation of statistic)
- 16. the (blank) distrubution refers to a family of continuous probability distributions described by the (blank) equation
- 17. a factor used to compute the margin of error, as shown in a certain equation
- 19. when the value of a variable is determined by a chance event
