(1) What is the value of level of significance ? (2) What is the inference for a (i) p- value 0.05 (3) What concepts will be used for hypothesis testing and estimation ? (4) What are the factors which affects the width of confidence interval ? Estimation Two forms of estimation Point estimation = single value, e.g., (mean, proportion, difference of two means, difference of two ...
Confidence Intervals: The Basics LEARNING TARGETS By the end of this section, you should be able to: IDENTIFY an appropriate point estimator and CALCULATE the value of a point estimate. INTERPRET a confidence interval in context. DETERMINE the point estimate and margin of error from a confidence interval. USE a confidence interval to MAKE a decision about the value of a parameter. INTERPRET a confidence ...
Chapter Goals After completing this chapter, you should be able to: Distinguish between a point estimate and a confidence interval estimate Construct and interpret a confidence interval estimate for a single population mean using both the z and t distributions Determine the required sample size to estimate a single population mean or a proportion within a specified margin of error Form and interpret a confidence ...
Confidence Intervals • Confidence intervals for an unknown parameter θ of some distribution(e.g., θ= μ) are intervals θ ≤ θ ≤ θ that contain 1 2 θ, not with certainty but with a high probability γ, which can we choose (95% and 99% are popular). • Such an interval is calculated from a sample. • γ = 95 % means probability 1- ...
Estimation and Confidence Intervals THE DEPOK RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION collected information on the number of meals eaten outside the home per week by young married couples. A survey of 60 couples showed the sample mean number of meals eaten outside the home was 2.76 meals per week, with a standard deviation of 0.75 meal per week. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population ...
Types of Statistics/Analyses DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS INFERENTIAL STATISTICS Frequencies Hypothesis Testing Correlation Basic measurements Confidence Intervals Descriptive Statistics describe Significance Testing a phenomena Prediction How many? How much? Inferential statistics make Inferences about a phenomena BP, HR, BMI, IQ, etc. Proving or disproving theories Associations between phenomena If sample relates to the larger population E.g., Diet and health Descriptive Statistics Descriptive statistics can be used ...
Learning Objectives • Test a hypothesis about a regression coefficient • Form a confidence interval around a regression coefficient • Show how the central limit theorem allows econometricians to ignore assumption CR4 in large samples • Present results from a regression model Hypotheses About β1 • We propose a value of β1 and test whether that value is plausible based on the data ...
What may happen in this session. • Data • Questions and PPDAC • Bootstrap idea • Bootstrap confidence interval • (CLT, normal and CI ) • Contextual information • Census at School resources • Level 2, level 1, Year 9 and 10. What are we learning? • The bootstrap idea and how it is used to make an inference (now called formal inference). • The ...
