8. Input and Output Terms of Tests, Confidence Interval, and Distribution

The following explains the input and output terms that are used by tests, confidence interval, and distribution.

kInput Terms

Data ...................................data type

 (1-Sample Z Test) ...........population mean value test conditions (“≠ 0” specifies two-tail test,

“< 0” specifies lower one-tail test, “> 0” specifies upper one-tail test.)

1 (2-Sample Z Test) ..........population mean value test conditions (“≠ 2” specifies two-tail test,

“< 2” specifies one-tail test where sample 1 is smaller than sample 2, “> 2” specifies one-tail test where sample 1 is greater than sample 2.)

Prop (1-Prop Z Test) ..........sample proportion test conditions (“≠ p0” specifies two-tail test,

“< p0” specifies lower one-tail test, “> p0” specifies upper one-tail test.)

p1 (2-Prop Z Test)...............sample proportion test conditions (“≠ p2” specifies two-tail test,

“< p2” specifies one-tail test where sample 1 is smaller than sample 2, “> p2” specifies one-tail test where sample 1 is greater than sample 2.)

 (1-Sample t Test) ............population mean value test conditions (“≠ 0” specifies two-tail test,

“< 0” specifies lower one-tail test, “> 0” specifies upper one-tail test.)

1 (2-Sample t Test) ...........sample mean value test conditions (“≠ 2” specifies two-tail test,

“< 2” specifies one-tail test where sample 1 is smaller than sample 2, “> 2” specifies one-tail test where sample 1 is greater than sample 2.)

β& ρ (LinearReg t Test) .....ρ-value test conditions (“≠ 0” specifies two-tail test, “< 0” specifies lower one-tail test, “> 0” specifies upper one-tail test.)

1 (2-Sample F Test)

..........population standard deviation test conditions (“≠ 2” specifies

 

two-tail test, “< 2” specifies one-tail test where sample 1 is smaller

 

than sample 2, “> 2” specifies one-tail test where sample 1 is

 

greater than sample 2.)

0 .......................................

assumed population mean

.........................................

population standard deviation ( > 0)

1 .......................................

population standard deviation of sample 1 (1 > 0)

2 .......................................

population standard deviation of sample 2 (2 > 0)

List .....................................

list whose contents you want to use as data (List 1 to 26)

List1 ...................................

list whose contents you want to use as sample 1 data (List 1 to 26)

List 2...................................

list whose contents you want to use as sample 2 data (List 1 to 26)
