Monday = STUDY!

Study for your "Inferences for Means" test Tuesday by (first) completing AND GRADING the "All Things T" review packet provided in class (or linked below).


Here's a list of what you need to know for tomorrow's test:
  • Conducted a (1 Sample) T Test and (1 Sample) T Interval
    • Full process
      • Interval = Conditions, Math, Interpret Interval
      • Test = Hypotheses, Conditions, Math, Interpret
  • Conduct a 2 Sample T Test and 2 Sample T Interval (full process)
  • Conduct a Paired T Test and a Paired T Interval (full process)
  • Remember, you only need to copy the calculator screen to get full credit for any "math" section--you do not need to show an interval formula, a z/t score formula, or sketch a model
    • However, there WILL be questions that require you to know these formulas on tomorrow's test, so you can't completely ignore these formulas!
  • Define a Type 1 and Type 2 error for any type of hypothesis test context (1 Sample T, 2 Sample T, or Paired T)
  • Know how to use a confidence interval to test hypotheses (decide if you would reject or fail to reject a null based on your interval)
  • Know when we would (hypothetically) use a z test/interval for means vs. a t test/interval for means
    • We use a z test/interval for means if we know the population standard deviation (sigma)
    • We use a t test/interval for means if we only have the sample standard deviation, Sx
  • Know how to find sample size given a margin of error
    • Remember, we use z* for the critical value here, as we can't look up t* without n (and the point of these questions is to find n!)
  • Interpret Confidence Level for any type of t interval
  • Know how changing confidence level and/or sample size affect margin of error and the width of an interval
  • Know how to calculate margin of error given summary statistics
  • Know how to find the margin of error and a point estimate (sample statistic) using only/given only the interval
  • Know how alpha, beta, power all relate
  • Know how to interpret power

Extra Stamp Opportunity:
  1. Finalize your ch. 24 notes--be sure you have all of the (correct) work for the 2 sample T interval (question a) and the 2 sample T test (question c) of the coffee shop context.
    • Have all of this done in your notes and show me Monday or Tuesday for 2 stamps.
