  2. Standard normal table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_normal_table

    gives a probability that a statistic is greater than Z. This equates to the area of the distribution above Z. Example: Find Prob(Z ≥ 0.69). Since this is the portion of the area above Z, the proportion that is greater than Z is found by subtracting Z from 1. That is Prob(Z ≥ 0.69) = 1 − Prob(Z ≤ 0.69) or {{{1}}}.

  3. p-value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-value

    For example, when testing the null hypothesis that a distribution is normal with a mean less than or equal to zero against the alternative that the mean is greater than zero (:, variance known), the null hypothesis does not specify the exact probability distribution of the appropriate test statistic.

  4. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability...

    The Dirac delta function, although not strictly a probability distribution, is a limiting form of many continuous probability functions. It represents a discrete probability distribution concentrated at 0 — a degenerate distribution — it is a Distribution (mathematics) in the generalized function sense; but the notation treats it as if it ...

  5. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    A normal random variable will exceed + with probability , and will lie outside the interval with probability (). In particular, the quantile z 0.975 {\textstyle z_{0.975}} is 1.96 ; therefore a normal random variable will lie outside the interval μ ± 1.96 σ {\textstyle \mu \pm 1.96\sigma } in only 5% of cases.

  6. 68–95–99.7 rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68–95–99.7_rule

    One can compute more precisely, approximating the number of extreme moves of a given magnitude or greater by a Poisson distribution, but simply, if one has multiple 4 standard deviation moves in a sample of size 1,000, one has strong reason to consider these outliers or question the assumed normality of the distribution.

  7. Student's t-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student's_t-distribution

    The following table lists values for t distributions with ν degrees of freedom for a range of one-sided or two-sided critical regions. The first column is ν , the percentages along the top are confidence levels α , {\displaystyle \ \alpha \ ,} and the numbers in the body of the table are the t α , n − 1 {\displaystyle t_{\alpha ,n-1 ...

  8. Standard score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_score

    Comparison of the various grading methods in a normal distribution, including: standard deviations, cumulative percentages, percentile equivalents, z-scores, T-scores. In statistics, the standard score is the number of standard deviations by which the value of a raw score (i.e., an observed value or data point) is above or below the mean value of what is being observed or measured.

  9. Z-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-test

    Z-test tests the mean of a distribution. For each significance level in the confidence interval, the Z-test has a single critical value (for example, 1.96 for 5% two tailed) which makes it more convenient than the Student's t-test whose critical values are defined by the sample size (through the corresponding degrees of freedom). Both the Z ...
