Case 1.
Theoretical Distributions, Confidence Interval, Area under Normal Distribution
For statistical tests, it is important to understand probability theory, theoretical
distributions, confidence intervals (CI), one-tail and two-tail statistical tests, and error
in interpreting hypothesis tests.

If from a study we found the mean of Hb level from 200 samples of children is
11.8 mg/dl, and the standard deviation is 0.5mg/dl. It is assumed that data was
normally distributed.
Based on the used of normal distribution and the area under normal curve (z

Describe about sampling distribution, standar error of the mean and confidence
interval (CI) of the mean
Sampling Distribution : distribusi suatu parameter (mean, proporsi atau
beda proporsi) yang terjadi karena perbedaan pengambilan sampel
o Distribution of mean, mean difference, proportion, and proportion
differences of samples
o Characteristics of the sampling distribution of the mean:
If the number of sample is big enough, mean or mean
differences of samples will follow normal distribution (Central
Limit Theorem)
If the data follows normal distribution, the mean or mean
differences will also follow normal distribution.
The variation of mean or mean differences will be measured by
standard error of the mean.

Case 2
Hypothesis Testing and Linear Correlation
Re-open skill lab data (appendix).
Recall that the type of data presentation is based on scale measurement and also
the type of hypothesis testing will be based on the scale of measurement and
purpose of the analysis. Basically, there are two types of hypothesis testing; namely:
testing the difference and testing the association. The basic concept of hypothesis
testing should be understood before performing the test. In hypothesis testing we are
testing the possibility of the difference or the association is likely to be true in the
population. There two type of hypothesis, null hypothesis (Ho) and alternative
hypothesis (Ha)
For testing the association between two continuous variables we can use correlation
test with correlation coefficient from Pearson (r). In the correlation test, we can
determine the strength and direction of the association.
Correlation may be a linear and non-linear, symmetric and non-symmetric, straight
and reverse correlation, and relational and causal. In this case, we will only discuss
linear correlation.
Learning Task 2
1. Discuss the indication of linear correlation analysis.
- Berbandinglurus
- X naik, Y naik
- Grafikberbentuksepertigarislurus yang miring kekananatas
2. From the variables in skill lab data, discuss example of possible correlation
analysis
- Semakinbesartinggibadan, semakinbesar pula beratbadan
- Semakinbesarumuranak, semakinbesartinggibadan
3. Discuss the two ways that we can use for determining correlation between
two variables?
- Scattered diagram
- Correlation coefficient
4. Discuss the use of coefficient correlation?
- Coefficient correlation is symbolized as r
- Value of this coefficient is between -1 and +1
- This coefficient tells the strength and direction of correlation between
2 variables
- Interpretation
o r = +1
: positive perfect Correlation
o r=-1
: negative perfect Correlation
o r=0
: no Correlation
o 0< r <0.6 : mild Correlation
o r 0. 6 : strong Correlation
5. Discuss the meaning of negative and positive correlation, provide example!
