Introduction to Hypothesis Testing
... We can make α = 0 by not convicting anyone; however, every guilty person would then be released so that β would then equal 1. Alternatively, we can make β = 0 by convicting everyone; however, every innocent person would then be convicted so that α equals 1. Although the relationship between α and β ...

... The level of confidence is the % chance that a CI constructed using a random sample will capture the true unknown parameter value. So, if we make a 95% CI for a parameter, then we know that, 95% of the time, these kinds of CIs will capture the parameter. However we never get to know if it really did ...

... (X) are not independent. Draw graphs of pdfs, labeling axes, that support your answer. Solution: Commute time is independent of distance if the distribution of commute time is the same, no matter what the distance is. Of course this is silly. Say distance = 10 miles. Then the mean commute time will ...

Confidence Intervals
... Confidence Interval Interpretation #2 We just saw that the interval X ± 2 √σn contains all values µ that are “compatible” with the observed data X. (If we were to test that the mean of the box is any of these values, the P -value would be at least 2.5%.) Another way to interpret this is to imagine ...

A random sample of 50 individuals resulted in an average income of $15,000. What is the upper end point in a 99% confidence interval for the average income ...

Statistics Notes
... A census is frequently time-consuming and expensive. In the US, a census to count the population is required every 10 years. Unlike a survey, the subjects of an experiment are usually not selected at random. Instead, for an experiment, the treatments must be assigned randomly. Example: A biology tea ...
