-
Statistics – Confidence Interval for Mean (Unknown Variance)
CI for mean (unknown variance): X̄ ± t_{α/2}·S/√n using t-distribution with df=n−1; t is wider than Z to account for extra uncertainty; t→Z for large n.
-

-
Statistics – HT for Ratio of Two Variances

-
Statistics – One-Tailed vs Two-Tailed Tests
Two-tailed: H₁ uses ≠, rejection region α/2 each tail; one-tailed: H₁ gives direction (> or <), full α in one tail; choosing based on research question.
-

-
Statistics – Normal Distribution Word Problems: Step by Step
Normal word problems: identify distribution, convert to Z-score, interpret position relative to mean, link to probability via Z-table or empirical rule.
-
Statistics – Empirical Rule: When to Use and When Not To
