  1. 2. the claim about the population we are trying to find evidence for
  2. 5. reject the null, when it was true
  3. 7. parameter is different from the null value
  4. 11. how close the estimate tends to be to the unkown parameter in repeated random sampling
  5. 16. fail to reject the null, when it's false
  6. 17. describes how far the mean will be from mu
  7. 19. parameter is larger or smaller than the null value
Down
  1. 1. the probability calculations remain fairly accurate when a condition for using the procedure is violated
  2. 3. statistic that provides an estimate of a population parameter
  3. 4. if the p-value is smaller than alpha
  4. 6. how close the sample proportion will be, on average, to the population proportion
  5. 8. a range of values defined by a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it
  6. 9. the probability, computed assuming the null is true, that the statistic will take a value as or more extreme than the one observed
  7. 10. gives the overall success rate of the method for calculating the confidence interval
  8. 12. best guess at the value of an unkown parameter
  9. 13. the claim tested by a statistical test
  10. 14. the probability that the test will reject the null at a chosen signifigance level when the alternative value of the parameter is true
  11. 15. appropriate for finding a confidence interval for a population mean, when standard deviation is known and the sample is normally distributed
  12. 17. procedure for comparing observed data to a claim
  13. 18. n-1
