) Explain when you will use the test statistic and when you will use the test statistic .
2) Explain why using the smaller of n1 − 1 or n2 − 1 degrees of freedom to determine the critical t instead of is more precautious.
3) you learned how to test hypotheses regarding two sample proportions. Explain when you will use the test statistic and when you will use the test statistic .
1. A test statistic is a random variable that is calculated from sample data and used in a hypothesis test. We can use test statistic to determine whether to reject the null hypothesis or not. The test statistic compars your data with what is expected under the null hypothesis. The test statistic is used to calculate the p value.
3. Two sample proportion test is used to determine whether the range of values that is likely to include the difference between the proportion.
