You suspect the company of falsely advertising the benefits of taking their pills. Suppose you take a sample of 100 product users and find that only 5% have lost at least 10 pounds. Is this enough to prove your claim? What about if 72% had lost at least 10 pounds? Goal: 9.1 Elements of a Hypothesis Test 1. Assumptions 2. Hypotheses Each hypothesis test has two hypotheses about the population: Null Hypothesis (H0 ): Alternative Hypothesis (Ha ): 1 Stat 3011 Chapter 9 Diet Pill Example: Let p = true proportion of diet pill customers that lose at least...

...Part I (Chapters 1 – 11) MBA 611 STATISTICS AND QUANTITATIVE METHODS Part I. A. Review of Basic Statistics (Chapters 1-11) Introduction (Chapter 1) Uncertainty: Decisions are often based on incomplete information from uncertain events. We use statistical methods and statistical analysis to make decisions in uncertain environment. Population: Sample: A population is the complete set of all items in which an investigator is interested. A sample is a subset of population values. & Example: Population - High school students - Households in the U.S. Sample - A sample of 30 students - A Gallup poll of 1,000 consumers - Nielson Survey of TV rating Random Sample: A random sample of n data values is one selected from the population in such a way that every different sample of size n has an equal chance of selection. & Example: Random Selection - Lotto numbers - Random numbers Random Variable: A variable takes different possible values for a given subject of study. Numerical Variable: A numerical variable takes some countable finite numbers or infinite numbers. Categorical Variable: A categorical variable takes values that belong to groups or categories. Data: Data are measured values of the variable. There are two types of data: quantitative data and qualitative data. 1 Part I (Chapters 1 – 11) Quantitative Data: Qualitative Data: & Example: 1. 2. 3. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Statistics: Quantitative data are data measured on a numerical scale. Qualitative data are non-numerical...

...CHAPTER TWO DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS: TABULAR AND GRAPHICAL METHODS CHAPTER OUTLINE AND REVIEW In Chapter 1, you were introduced to the concept of statistics and in exercise *6 of that chapter you were given a frequency distribution of the ages of 180 students at a local college, but you were not told how this frequency distribution was formulated. In Chapter 2 of your text, you were informed how such frequency distributions could be formulated and were introduced to several tabular and graphical procedures for summarizing data. Furthermore, you were shown how crosstabulations and scatter diagrams can be used to summarize data for two variables simultaneously. The terms that you should have learned from this chapter include: A. Qualitative Data: Data that are measured by either nominal or ordinal scales of measurement. Each value serves as a name or label for identifying an item. B. Quantitative Data: Data that are measured by interval or ratio scales of measurement. Quantitative data are numerical values on which mathematical operations can be performed. C. Bar Graph: A graphical method of presenting qualitative data that have been summarized in a frequency distribution or a relative frequency distribution. D. Pie Chart: A graphical device for presenting qualitative data by subdividing a circle into sectors that correspond to the relative frequency of each class. 23 24 Chapter Two E.

...This course examines the principles of probability and of descriptive and inferential statistics. Topics include probability concepts, measures of central tendency, normal distributions, and sampling techniques. The application of these principles to simple hypothesis testing methods and to confidence intervals is also covered. The application of these topics in solving problems encountered in personal and professional settings is also discussed.

Center: A representative value that indicates where the middle of the data set is located. * 2. Variation: A measure of the amount that the data values very. * 3. Distribution: The nature or shape of the spread of the data over the range of values (such as bell-shaped). * 4. Outliners: Sample values that lie very far away from the vast majority of the other sample values. * 5. Time: Any change in the characteristics of the data over time. * Study Hint: Blind memorization is not effective in remembering information.
