I doesn't know how can i present the topic Identifying appropriate test statistics involving population mean.
Ohh! Let me help you.
Hi Carl! why you look confuse?
Ow that's nice but my question is what is the appropriate tool when the variance is known, variance is unknown, and when central limit is used
It very basic. If the population standard deviation is known, then the mean has a normal distribution. We will use z-test, and when the variance is known and either the distribution is normal or sample size is large use z-test statistic
For example, A principal at a school are above average intelligence. A random sample of 30 students IQ scores have a mean score of 112.5. The mean population IQ is 100 with a standard deviation of 15
AS I RECALL, TEST STATISTIC IS A RANDOM VARIABLETHAT IS CALCULATED FROM SAMPLE DATA ANDUSED IN A HYPOTHESIS TEST
Hmm... The sample size(n) is 30 and population standard deviation is 4.
Now I know ! Can you give me another example?
A statistics teacher wants to compare his two classes to see if they performed any different on the tests he gave that semester, Class a had 25 student with an average score of 70, standard deviation 15. Class B had 20 student with an average score of 74, standard deviation is 25.
Great! and Because the population standard deviation is known and the sample size is greater than 30. The appropriate test statistic or tool to be used is Z-Test
You are doing well john! I'm sure that you are ready with your presentation.
AHA! Because the sample size is less than 30 which is 25 and 20 and the population standard deviation is 15 and 25. The appropriate test or tool is T-Test.
When the value of the sample size(n)....Greater that or equal to 30 and the standard deviation is known and , use Z-TESTLess than to 30 and the standard deviation is unknown, use T-TEST.
Thank you very much Gladys! Now i know what to do because of you.
