Question

Match the following vocabulary words with their definitions

1. The value that you would expect the parameter to be if the null hypothesis is true

2. The hypothesis that gives the skeptical or baseline perspectives

3. The hypothesis that gives the claim for which we seek evidence

4. A numerical summary of a population

5. A sample statistic that estimates an unknown population parameter

6. A collection of statistics from samples simulated assuming the null hypothesis is true

7. The proportion of samples, when the null hypothesis is true, that would give a statistic as extreme as (or more extreme than) the observed sample.

8. The process of using data from a sample to gain information about the population

9. A statistical technique used to evaluate competing claims using data

These are the options

-Hypothesis test

-Null value

-Point Estimate

-Null Hypothesis

-Inference

-Null Distribution

-P-value

-Alternative Hypothesis

-Parameter

Answer 1

Solution:

1. The value that you would expect the parameter to be if the null hypothesis is true : Null value

2. The hypothesis that gives the skeptical or baseline perspectives : Null Hypothesis

3. The hypothesis that gives the claim for which we seek evidence :Alternative Hypothesis

4. A numerical summary of a population : Parameter

5. A sample statistic that estimates an unknown population parameter: Point Estimate

6. A collection of statistics from samples simulated assuming the null hypothesis is true: Null Distribution

7. The proportion of samples, when the null hypothesis is true, that would give a statistic as extreme as (or more extreme than) the observed sample: P-value

8. The process of using data from a sample to gain information about the population: Inference

9. A statistical technique used to evaluate competing claims using data : Hypothesis test
