Across
  1. 4. Gives an interval of plausible values for a parameter
  2. 5. Fixed value α that we use as a cutoff for deciding whether an observed result is too unlikely to happen by chance alone when the null hypothesis is true
  3. 6. The procedure for calculating confidence intervals assumes that individual observations are independent
  4. 8. Procedure for using observed data to decide between two competing claims
  5. 10. Calculation that measures how far a sample statistic diverges from what we would expect if the null hypothesis H0 were true, in standardized units
  6. 13. Statistic that provides an estimate of a population parameter
  7. 14. An alternative hypothesis that states that a parameter is larger than the null hypothesis value or vice versa
  8. 15. The alternative hypothesis is two-sided if it states that the parameter is different from the null value
  9. 16. The probability of obtaining results at least as extreme as the observed results of a statistical hypothesis test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct
  10. 17. Occurs if we reject H0 when H0 is true
  11. 18. Multiplier that makes the interval wide enough to have the stated capture rate
  12. 19. The difference between the point estimate and the true parameter value
Down
  1. 1. The claim that we are trying to find evidence for in a significance test
  2. 2. Procedure for using observed data to decide between two competing claims
  3. 3. Specific value of a point estimator from a sample
  4. 7. This is what the sample/experiment should always be;the first condition to check
  5. 9. The method that we use to construct a confidence interval for p
  6. 10. Occurs if we fail to reject H0 when Ha is true
  7. 11. Success rate of the method for calculating the confidence interval
  8. 12. When the standard deviation of a statistic is estimated from data
