Statistics and Probability - Reviewer (SHS - 2nd)

This document defines key statistical terms used in hypothesis testing and correlation analysis. It explains confidence intervals and point estimates for estimating population parameters from samples. It also describes null and alternative hypotheses, test statistics, rejection regions, levels of significance, types of errors, and bivariate data. Pearson's correlation coefficient is introduced as a measure of the linear relationship between two variables.

- To show clearer association.
LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE- probability of rejecting the

null hypothesis.
- If alpha is 0.01, the probability of commiting Type 1
error is 0.99.
- If alpha is 0.05, the probability of commiting Type 1
error is 0.95.
PEARSONS CORRELATION COEFFICIENT- measures the
strength of alinear relationship between two variables.

- Two variables have a positive correlation when the


values of one variable remain the same as the values of
the other variable tend to increase.
