Statistics Crossword
Across
- 1. Approaches the standard Normal distribution as the degrees of freedom increases
- 3. The value of the point estimator from a sample
- 7. Measures how far a sample statistic diverges from what we would expect if the null hypothesis were true, in standardized units
- 10. Gives an interval of plausible values for a parameter
- 12. The alternative hypothesis is this if it states that the parameter is different from the null value
- 14. The estimated standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample statistic
- 15. The alternative hypothesis is this if it states that a parameter is larger than or smaller than the null value
- 17. A statistic that provides an estimate of a population parameter
- 18. If we reject the null hypothesis when it is true
- 20. A multiplier that makes the interval wide enough to have the stated capture rate
Down
- 2. n-1
- 4. The claim about the population that we are trying to find evidence for
- 5. If we fail to reject the null hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis is true
- 6. The difference between the point estimate and the true parameter value will be less than this in all samples
- 8. The claim we weigh evidence against in a statistical test; a statement of 'no difference'
- 9. A formal procedure for using observed data to decide between two competing claims
- 11. Gives the overall success rate of the method for calculating the confidence interval
- 13. The probability, assuming the null hypothesis is true, that the statistic would take a value as extreme or more extreme than the one actually observed
- 16. The result when the standard deviation of a statistic is estimated from data
- 19. The probability that the test will reject the null hypothesis at a chosen significance level when the specified alternative value of the parameter is true
