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