  2. Z-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-test

    The z-test for comparing two proportions is a statistical method used to evaluate whether the proportion of a certain characteristic differs significantly between two independent samples. This test leverages the property that the sample proportions (which is the average of observations coming from a Bernoulli distribution ) are asymptotically ...

  3. Test statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_statistic

    (z is the distance from the mean in relation to the standard deviation of the mean). For non-normal distributions it is possible to calculate a minimum proportion of a population that falls within k standard deviations for any k (see: Chebyshev's inequality). Two-sample z-test

  4. Binomial proportion confidence interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_proportion...

    The probability density function (PDF) for the Wilson score interval, plus PDF s at interval bounds. Tail areas are equal. Since the interval is derived by solving from the normal approximation to the binomial, the Wilson score interval ( , + ) has the property of being guaranteed to obtain the same result as the equivalent z-test or chi-squared test.

  5. Ratio estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_estimator

    where N is the population size, n is the sample size, m x is the mean of the x variate and s x 2 and s y 2 are the sample variances of the x and y variates respectively. These versions differ only in the factor in the denominator (N - 1). For a large N the difference is negligible.

  6. Normality test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normality_test

    Simple back-of-the-envelope test takes the sample maximum and minimum and computes their z-score, or more properly t-statistic (number of sample standard deviations that a sample is above or below the sample mean), and compares it to the 68–95–99.7 rule: if one has a 3σ event (properly, a 3s event) and substantially fewer than 300 samples, or a 4s event and substantially fewer than 15,000 ...

  7. Paired difference test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paired_difference_test

    Suppose we are using a Z-test to analyze the data, where the variances of the pre-treatment and post-treatment data σ 1 2 and σ 2 2 are known (the situation with a t-test is similar). The unpaired Z-test statistic is ¯ ¯ / + /, The power of the unpaired, one-sided test carried out at level α = 0.05 can be calculated as follows:

  8. Tragic discovery in Oregon: Missing hiker’s body found ...

    The search for missing hiker Susan Lane-Fournier, 61, took a tragic turn after her body was found over the weekend in Welches, Oregon, an unincorporated community at the base of Mount Hood.

  9. Population proportion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_Proportion

    To derive the formula for the one-sample proportion in the Z-interval, a sampling distribution of sample proportions needs to be taken into consideration. The mean of the sampling distribution of sample proportions is usually denoted as μ p ^ = P {\displaystyle \mu _{\hat {p}}=P} and its standard deviation is denoted as: [ 2 ]
