Statistics for one and two samples
... in our setting we have only a rather small sample, so in fact we may have to speculate, that is, assume some specific X-distribution f . The most common type of assumption, or one could say model, for the population distribution is to assume it to be the normal distribution. This assumption makes th ...

(The first column heading is the area in the right tail; the second column heading is the confidence level. The reason these don’t add up to 1 is ...

Testing Statistical Assumptions
... Parametric tests are significance tests which assume a certain distribution of the data (usually the normal distribution), assume an interval level of measurement, and assume homogeneity of variances when two or more samples are being compared. Most common significance tests (z tests, t-tests, and F ...
