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