Across
  1. 2. describes some characteristic of a population
  2. 5. Claim we weight evidence against in a significance test. Often a statement of “no difference.”
  3. 7. Specific value of a point estimator from a sample
  4. 8. Occurs if we reject H0 when H0 is true.
  5. 11. When the standard deviation of a statistic is estimated from data
  6. 12. is an interval that is computed from sample data and provides a range of plausible values for a population parameter.
  7. 14. The claim that we are trying to find evidence for in a significance test
  8. 16. Gives the probability of a Type I error.
  9. 17. depends on both the confidence level C and the sampling distribution of the statistic
  10. 19. Statistic that provides an estimate of a population parameter
  11. 20. Calculation that measures how far a sample statistic diverges from what we would expect if the null hypothesis H0 were true, in standardized units
Down
  1. 1. if the alternative hypothesis states that the parameter is different from the null value
  2. 3. Occurs if we fail to reject H0 when Ha is true
  3. 4. Success rate of the method for calculating the confidence interval
  4. 6. The probability that a test will reject H0 at a chosen significance level α when a specified alternative value of the parameter is true
  5. 9. The probability, computed assuming H0 is true, that the statistic would take a value more extreme than the one actually observed
  6. 10. The difference between the point estimate and the true parameter value will be less than this
  7. 13. n-1
  8. 15. Procedure for using observed data to decide between two competing claims
  9. 18. Table which shows probabilities under a normal curve, which can be used to derive z* the critical value
