stats

2. Two events are independent when the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of the occurrence of the other.
7. stat that provides an estimate of a population parameter
8. difference between the point estimate and true parameter value will be less than the margin of error in C% of all samples
11. It is two sided if it states that the parameter is different from the null hypothesis value (larger or smaller)
12. gives an interval of plausible values for a parameter
14. success rate of the method for calculating the confidence interval
15. Choose an SRS of size n from a large population that contains an unknown proportion p of successes
17. when our p-value is less than the chosen significance level a, the result is statistically significant
18. claimed tested by a statistical test
19. The alternative hypothesis is one sided if 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
20. An inference procedure is called robust if the probability calculations involved in that procedure remain fairly accurate when a condition for using the procedure is violated.

1. Level probability of rejecting the null hypothesis is a statistical test
3. probability that statistic would take a value as extreme as or more extreme than the one actually observed
4. The number of values that can vary in a stats calculation
5. The normal distribution refers to a family of continuous probability distributions described by the normal equation.
6. the evidencassesse for a claim about a parameter
9. claim about the population that we are trying to find evidence for
10. formal procedure for comparing observed data with a claim (hypothesis)
13. measures how far a sample statistic diverges from what we would expect if the null hypothesis were true
16. specific value of a point estimator from a sample
