5. Occurs if H0 is not rejected when H0 is false.
11. The claim tested by a statistical test. The test is designed to assess the strength of the evidence against the null hypothesis.
13. The parameter is different from the null value (it could be either smaller or larger).
14. The interval estimate of a confidence interval is defined by the sample statistic + margin of error.
15. a factor used to compute the margin of error
16. refers to a family of continuous probability distributions described by the normal equation.
18. The probability that the statistic would take a value as extreme as or more extreme than the one actually observed.
19. is the sampling distribution of the t statistic.

1. indicates how many standard deviations an element is from the mean.
2. The value of the point estimator.
3. Occurs if H0 is rejected when H0 is true.
4. Statisticians use a confidence interval to express the degree of uncertainty associated with a sample statistic.
6. Process to utilize to structure and outline a problem.
7. The claim about the population that we are trying to find evidence for.
8. When our P-value is less than the chosen significance level α.
9. Measures how far a sample statistic diverges from what we would expect if the null hypothesis H0 were true
10. gives an interval of plausible values for a parameter. The interval is calculated by adding and subtracting a margin of error from the point estimate.
12. generally refers to the number of independent observations in a sample minus the number of population parameters
17. When the value of a variable is determined by a chance event.
