SPOT FOR FINAL
04/28/04
- identify sample and population, why and when we use samples;
- read graphs. whithout looking at actual data answer questions about center and variability of the data. know which measures are better;
- discrete random variable - probability calculations;
- cont random variable - Normal - probability calculations using z-table;
- what sampling distribution is and why we need to know it;
- Central Limit Theorem - why is it important?
- confidence intervals - how to interpret?
- hypothesis testing - how to state Ho and Ha, how to draw conclusion, Type1 and Type 2 errors;
- "Situation questions" - what test procedure can we use (1 sample z- and t-tests, 2-sample tests (independent vs paired), ANOVA, Chi-Sq, Linear Regression); be sure to check the needed conditions;
-CI vs Hypothesis Tests
