  1. 1. The claim we weigh evidence against in a statistical test
  2. 6. Specific value of the point estimator
  3. 8. If the P-value is smaller than a specified value
  4. 12. Another name for confidence interval
  5. 14. A multiplier that makes the interval wide enough to have the stated capture rate
  6. 15. Measures the ability of the test to detect an alternative value of the parameter
  7. 18. Used to specify a t distribution
  8. 20. Occurs if we fail to reject the null hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis is true
Down
  1. 2. Value of a parameter that is reasonable or believable based on the data
  2. 3. When the alternative hypothesis states that the parameter is different from the null hypothesis value
  3. 4. A formal procedure for using observed data to decide between two hypotheses
  4. 5. Gives the overall success rate of the method for calculating the confidence interval
  5. 7. Shows how close the guess is, based on the variability of the estimate in repeated SRSs
  6. 9. The claim about the population we are trying to find evidence for
  7. 10. Gives an interval of plausible values for a parameter
  8. 11. Result when the standard deviation of a statistic is estimated from data
  9. 13. Occurs when we reject the null hypothesis when it is actually true
  10. 16. A statistic that provides an estimate of a population parameter
  11. 17. The probability that measures the strength of the evidence against the null hypothesis and in favor of the alternative hypothesis
  12. 19. When the alternative hypothesis states that a parameter is larger than the null hypothesis value or if it states that the parameter is smaller than the null value
