Chapter 8 and 9 Vocabulary
Across
- 3. Occurs if H0 is not rejected when H0 is false.
- 5. Study designs that involve making two observations on the same individual, or one observation on each of two similar individuals, result in paired data.
- 7. The alternative hypothesis is one-sided if it states that a parameter is larger than the null hypothesis value or if it states that the parameter is smaller than the null value.
- 12. If the conditions are met, perform calculations.
- 13. Individual observations are independent. When sampling without replacement, we check the 10% condition: the population is at least 10 times as large as the sample.
- 14. What parameter do you want to estimate, and at what confidence level?
- 15. The probability, computed assuming H0 is true, that the statistic would take a value as extreme as or more extreme than the one actually observed. The smaller the P-value, the stronger the evidence against H0 provided by the data.
- 18. unknown population parameter with an indication of how precise the estimate is
- 19. The sample is large enough that both np and n(1 − p) are at least 10
Down
- 1. The alternative hypothesis is two-sided if it states that the parameter is different from the null value (it could be either smaller or larger).
- 2. The claim tested by a statistical test. The test is designed to assess the strength of the evidence against the null hypothesis. Often the null hypothesis is a statement of “no difference.”
- 4. Tells how close the estimate tends to be to the unknown parameter in repeated random sampling.
- 6. The data were produced by random sampling or random assignment
- 8. When our P-value is less than the chosen significance level α, the result is statistically significant.
- 9. Occurs if H0 is rejected when H0 is true.
- 10. Identify the appropriate inference method. Check conditions.
- 11. Assesses the evidence provided by data about some claim concerning a population.
- 14. When the standard deviation of a statistic is estimated from data, the result is the standard error of the statistic.
- 16. Interpret your interval in the context of the problem.
- 17. Measures how far a sample statistic diverges from what we would expect if the null hypothesis H0 were true, in standardized units.
