Statistics 200 Objectives: Lecture #22 Thursday, November 3, 2016 Textbook: 10.1 through 10.4, 11.1 though 11.5 Objectives: • Identify the correct CI approach for all the various situations we have studied. • Construct and interpret any CI correctly.
Confidence Interval Formula: Case #1 sample estimate ± (multiplier × standard error) Which situation characterizes case #1? single proportion single mean difference of two proportions difference of two means mean difference of paired observations Textbook reference: Section 10.2
Confidence Interval Formula: Case #2 sample estimate ± (multiplier × standard error) Which situation characterizes case #2? single proportion single mean difference of two proportions difference of two means mean difference of paired observations Textbook reference: Section 10.3
Confidence Interval Formula: Case #3 sample estimate ± (multiplier × standard error) Which situation characterizes case #3? single proportion single mean difference of two proportions difference of two means mean difference of paired observations Textbook reference: Section 11.2
Confidence Interval Formula: Case #4 sample estimate ± (multiplier × standard error) Which situation characterizes case #4? single proportion single mean difference of two proportions difference of two means mean difference of paired observations Textbook reference: Section 11.3
Confidence Interval Formula: Case #5 sample estimate ± (multiplier × standard error) Which situation characterizes case #5? single proportion single mean difference of two proportions difference of two means mean difference of paired observations Textbook reference: Section 11.4
About the multiplier in a CI: sample estimate ± (multiplier × standard error) Suppose the confidence level is 95%, and study the picture. Which percentile is the z* or t* value? (Hint: It’s NOT the 95th or 5th percentile!)
About the multiplier in a CI: sample estimate ± (multiplier × standard error) Suppose the confidence level is 98%. Which percentile is the z* or t* value? 95th 96th 97th 98th 99th
About the multiplier in a CI: sample estimate ± (multiplier × standard error) Should you use a z* or a t* multiplier? One proportion or diff of two proportions: z* One mean or diff of two means, σ known: z* One mean or diff of two means, σ unknown: t* (mean of paired differences: same as one mean)
