Comparison of Two Independent Samples
... z What intuitive criterion did we use to determine whether the hypothesized parameter value (p=0.2 in the ESP Example 9.1.1, and μ = 5.517 in Example 9.1.2) was credible in the light of the data? (Determine if the data-driven parameter estimate is consistent with the pattern of variation we’d expect ...

... case. What if we had a new drug that has tremendous potential for positive effects. In the one case, there may be no reason to suspect that there will be any adverse side effects. It either works or does nothing. In this case, you would be willing to reject the null hypothesis almost all of the time ...

... Discussion: Perhaps you noticed in the last exercise that the sample mean was 5.25 seconds and yet we concluded that men change channels every 5 seconds or less. How is this possible? You must remember that we are talking about probabilities here. We did this problem based on a 90% confidence of bei ...

Significance Testing
... Three factors that affect probability of a type 2 error 1. Sample size; larger n reduces the probability of a type 2 error without affecting the probability of a type 1 error. 2. Level of significance; larger reduces probability of a type 2 error by increasing the probability of a type 1 error. 3. ...
