TEST TOMORROW!

Tomorrow is a big day, and this is a big weekend upcoming. This is your last chance to boost your grade with some great test scores!

Here's a breakdown of tomorrow's test:

  • 2 free response, 7 multiple choice, 5 true false
  • Describe Type I and/or Type II error and a consequence
  • Conduct a hypothesis test (hypotheses, conditions, math, conclusion)
  • Interpret p-value (in context)
  • Create a confidence interval (conditions, math, interpret)
  • Interpret the meaning of a confidence interval
  • Interpret the meaning of a confidence level
  • Find margin of error
  • Know how alpha and beta affect each other, and how changing alpha/beta affects power
  • Find sample size given margin of error
  • Find the confidence level associated with a given alpha level (use the table we created in our notes yesterday!)
  • Interpret margin of error
  • Know how changes in confidence level (z*) and sample size affect the margin of error and the width of an interval
  • Know how alpha and beta (probabilities of Type 1, Type 2 error) are affected by increasing sample size
  • Know how to calculate power
  • Study your (40 point) chapter 19 quiz and your hypothesis test quiz from earlier this week! 
  • Also, review your Type I/II error, alpha/beta/power notes (anything we covered this week)
Here are the answers to today's multiple choice questions in case you're using them to study!
