Hypothesis Testing with One Sample

Hypothesis
- is a process that uses sample statistics to test a claim about the value of a population parameter.

Statistical hypothesis
- a verbal statement, or claim, about a population parameter

Null Hypothesis (H0)


- is a statistical hypothesis that contains a statement of equality

Alternative Hypothesis (Ha)


- compliment of null hypothesis.
- Must be true if null is falls.
- Contains statement of inequality

Level of significance
- is your maximum allowable probability of making a type I error.
- denoted by 
P-Values
- if the null is true, P-value is the probability of obtaining a sample statistic with a value as
extreme or more extreme than the one determined from the sample data.

Three types of hypothesis tests


1. Left-tailed test -alternative hypothesis contains the less-than inequality symbol (<),
2. Right-tailed test - alternative hypothesis contains the greater than symbol (>)
3. Two-tailed test

Rejection Regions
- aka critical region
- of the sampling distribution is the range of values for which the null hypothesis is not
probable.
- if test statistics fall in this region, the null is rejected.

Hypothesis testing for the mean (small samples)

Hypothesis testing for variance and standard deviation

Chi-square test for a variance or standards deviation


- statistical test for a population variance or standard deviation.
- can be used when the population is normal

Correlation and Regression


Correlation
Is a relationship between two variables.
- a scatter plot can be used

Correlation Coefficient
- is a measure of the strength and the direction of a linear relationship between the two
variables

Regression Line
- aka line of best fit,
- is the line for which the sum of the squares of the residuals is a minimum
To find total variations, you must first calculate the
total deviation - is the sum of the squares of the differences bet the y value and of each ordered pair
and the mean of y
, the explained deviation -
, and the unexpalined deviation

Coefficient of Determination r2
- is the ratio of explained variation to the total variation

Standard error of estimate se


- is the standard deviation of the observed y-values about the predicted y value for a given x
value.

Prediction Intervals
Two variables have a bivariate normal distribution if for any fixed value of x, corresponding
values of y are normally distributed

Multiple Regression
- one dependent and more than one independent
