  • T - Statistic vs. Z-Statistic

    The t-statistic will approximate the z-statistic in the same way that a t distribution approximates a normal distribution. How well a t distribution approximates a normal distribution is determined by degrees of freedom.

  • T and Z Statistics and Pooling

    The approximation of the t-statistics and z-statistics are discussed. The concept of "pooling" standard deviations is also explained.

  • Non-parametric statistics

    This is the same distribution that is found today in all introductory statistics texts.

  • Confidence Intervals, Differences Between T And Z Distribution

    As a sample size approaches infinity, how does the t distribution compare to the normal z distribution?

  • Statistics: Using the Wrong Distribution

    population, the student t distribution should be used for finding critical values and/or a p-value.

  • Estimated Standard Errors: T Statistics and Z Scores

    In statistics, we use the t statistic instead of using a z-score under two conditions: 1. the sample size is too small, so we do not the know the distribution of sample. 2.

  • Sampling Distribution and Test Proportion

    Sample statistics: p^ = 0.35, n = 50. Since np=0.35*50=17.5>5, n(1-p)=50*(1-0.35)=32.5>5, We could use the normal distribution. Ho: p<=0.30 Ha: P>0.30 This is a one tailed t test.

  • Confidence interval for the true population mean

    distribution Thus we use t distribution t at the 0.23 level of significance and 7 degrees of freedom (=n-1) and 2 tailed test= 1.3148 sx=standard error of mean=s/square root of n= 16.2635 = ( 46 /square root of 8)

  • Hypothesis Testing

    For sample size =22, degrees of freedom=22-1=21, (95% level of confidence) To find out t-critical, refer t-distribution tables and look for combined area=(1-0.95%=0.05) with 21 degrees of freedom Critical value of t=+/- 2.080 (Assume 2-tail test)
