8-1, 8-2 Basics of Hypothesis Testing

The parameters to be considered for hypothesis tests are:

8-3 proportion p

8-5 mean μ

8-6 standard deviation σ

 

Which distribution? Confidence Intervals & Hypothesis Tests

z-distributionTo estimate p or test a claim about p, use a z distribution Table A-2

t-distributionTo estimate μ or test a claim about μ, use a t distribution Table A-3

chi-squared distributionTo estimate σ or test a claim about σ, use a χ2 distribution Table A-4
