Inference with Proportions and Means

Topic Review on "Title":
  • Inference: statistical inference is to perform testing and estimation in such a manner as to provide for the evaluation and control over the probabilities of making such errors.
  • Tests of hypothesis: the statement about the values of population parameters may or may not be rejected.
  • Estimation: the process by which sample data are used to indicate the value of an unknown quantity in the population.
  • Experiment: data from a sample are used to test the validity of the hypothesis is called experiment.
  • Statistical hypothesis:  the hypothesis is stated in terms of population parameters such as the mean and variance.
  • Null hypothesis: is a statement about the values of one or more parameters.
  • Alternative hypothesis:  the statement we hope or suspect is true.
  • Type I error: null hypothesis is actually true but the decision is to reject it.

    Level of significance maximum probability of committing a type I error.

  • Confidence interval: certain probability that the true proportion is within the interval.
  • Tests of significance: are used to assess the evidence provided by data in support of a claim about the population.
  • P-value: the probability that the test statistic would take on as extreme a value as that observed, assuming that the null hypothesis is true.

"Title" Tutorial Summary :

Statistics is the art of decision making in the face of uncertainty. The field of statistical inference consists of those methods used to make decisions or draw conclusions about a population. These methods utilize the information contained in a sample from the population in drawing conclusions.

Tests of significance are used to assess the evidence provided by data in support of a claim about the population. The "strength of the evidence" against the claim is used to refute a false claim. Numerical examples are used to illustrate the steps in the hypothesis testing that leads to the final conclusion.
