Exam III Review, Stat 4813, Spring 2013

Chapter 6.
Distribution of X, X N (, 2 /n)
Calculations: E(X), V (X), P (X 17), P (X > c) = .90
Chapters 7 and 8.
When does one use the know, large sample, small sample cases in confidnence
intervals and tests of hypotheses?
In the case of known and assuming normality, compute the Type I error
probability for a specified rejection region and compute the Type II error probability
( ) for a specific alternative .
Define and compute the p-value of a test.
How does the p-value enter into the decision to reject or not reject the null
hypothesis?
Carry out a test of hypothesis and interpret the results.
Chapter 9.
Confidence intervals and tests of hypotheses for two sample mean difference.
Paired sample mean difference.
Chapter 12.

Find CI for the slope.
Test hypothesis about slope.
Computer point estimate of the average (mean) of y for a specific value x .
Interpret a given a Confidence Interval for the average (mean) of y for a specific
value x .
Interpret a given a Prediction Interval for the single value of y for a specific
value x .
Given the print out and the graphs for a simple linear regression problem, extract
various quantities that are needed for a standard analysis.
Tables for the standard normal and the t distributions will be supplied.
Formulae for the simple linear regression analysis will be supplied.
Calculators are necessary.
