EXAM Statistics

Hypothesis testing framework

-State the null and alternative hypotheses.
-Calculate the value of the test statistic.
-Identify the reference distribution.
-Find the
P-value
for the observed test statistic
-Check the assumptions.
-State a conclusion.

One-sample

compares 1 mean ? fixed number (?1=?0).

One-sample Z-test

one mean, know ?

One-sample T-test

one mean, unknown ?

One-sample Proportion

one proportion. H0: p = p0

Two-sample

compares mean1 ? mean2 (?1=?2).

Two-sample T-test

Two means.

Confidence interval

We are 95% confident that, the population parameter will occur within the range of values.

Two-sample Proportion

Two proportions.

Paired-sample

compares subject with paired mean1 ? mean2 (?D=0). EX. [before-after] [left-right] [experimental-control]

Paired-sample T-test

Two measurements on each subject.

Chi-square

compares category1 ? category2 (C1-C2 = no association)

Chi-square test

Two categorical variables measured on each subject.

expected value

Linear Regression

R-squared: amount that DV is explained by the IV.

Linear regression test

Two quantitative random variables measured on each subject. SPSS: coefficients (t)-(sig).

ANOVA

compares 3+ independent (group) means. (H0: all ?'s are equal)

One-way ANOVA

3+ means. H0: group means are all equal.

Assumption checking

-What is the assumption?
-Where do you look to check the assumption?
-What do you expect to see if the assumption is valid?
-What do you see?
-What is your conclusion?

Normality-checking

Q-Q plot (close to line)

Linearity-checking

Residual-Predicted
linearity- (random scatter)
constant spread- even (left-right)

Independence

Random allocation etc.

Probability Rules

P(not A) = 1 -P(A)
P(A and-or B) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A&B)
P(A&B) indep = P(A)xP(B)
P(A&B) disjoint = 0
