Across
- 3. It states that the parameter is different from the null hypothesis value
- 5. The opposite or complement of the alternative hypothesis. Usually the accepted or established theory; the status quo; or the current thinking.
- 8. the probability of making a Type I error
- 9. the value of the statistic from a sample
- 12. A formal procedure for using observed data to decide between two hypotheses
- 15. is the extent to which a distribution is stretched or squeezed
- 16. The probability of making a Type I error when the null hypothesis is true as an equality
- 18. a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it
- 20. It states that a parameter is larger than the null hypothesis value or if it states that the parameter is smaller than the null value
Down
- 1. cut-off values that define regions where the test statistic is unlikely to lie
- 2. he distribution (or pattern) of the data within a dataset
- 4. The preconceived idea or theory or thesis that a person attempts to verify
- 6. Accepting the null hypothesis when it is false
- 7. The probability, computed using the test statistic, that measures the support (or lack of support) provided by the sample for the null hypothesis.
- 10. gives the overall success rate of the method for calculating the confidence interval
- 11. the difference between the point estimate and the true parameter value is less than this
- 13. Rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true
- 14. a statistic that provides an estimate of a population parameter
- 17. any numerical quantity that characterizes a given population
- 19. the median and/or mean of the data
