Statistical Inference
Definitions

-
Sampling distribution - distribution of all possible values
taken by statistics in all possible samples of size n.
-
Central Limit Theorem - When n is large enough (or sample normal), the sampling distribution of the averages will be approximately normal with mean μ and standard deviation sd/(under root n)
Confidence interval: A level C confidence intervals has a
probability C of containing the true value of the population mean. Can be 0 < C < 100

A “Z-statistic” is the strength of the evidence agains Ho. Being farther away from 0 means more evidence against Ho

-
If sample
less than 25
-
Not normal
Use t distribution with n-1 degrees of freedom (to estimate population distribution using sample distribution
Confidence Interval
Hypothesis test (3)

-
Comparing 2 means HT (5) or CI (4), taking dof of smaller sample -1

We've done continuous, but what about categorical variables
2 Categories
Bionomial
The sampling distribution of a
sample proportion, p, is approximately Normal
when sample size is large
-
SD
-
Large if both successes > 10, Failures > 10
-
For hypothesis test
large if (equal to or greater) n(1-po)>10, npo>10
-
-
Test of Significance
If successes and and failures > 5, large sample
formula (7)
If sample small - some corrections you can make (e.g. approximating to the hypergeometric distribution).
