Important Points to Remember in Chapter -1 - Tests Based On Sampling Distributions I from Tamil Nadu Board Statistics Standard 12 Solutions

1. Small sample:

The number of elements in the sample is less than 30, then it is called a small sample.

2. t-distribution:

(i) For conducting t-tests the parent population(s) should be normal and the samples(s) should be small.

(ii) Sampling distribution of t does not depend on population parameter. It depends on degrees of freedom n-1.

3. Applications of t-distribution:

(i) To test significance of a single population mean, when population variance is unknown.

(ii) To test the equality of two population means when population variances are equal and unknown.

(iii) To test the equality of two means paired t -test, based on dependent samples.

4. Test statistic for test of hypotheses using t-distribution:

(i) For normal population mean when population variance is unknown is T=X¯-μ0Sn under H0.

(ii) For Equality of means of two normal populations T=(X¯-y¯)Sp1m+1n under H0, where Sp=(m-1)sx2+(n-1)sy2m+n-2

(iii) For paired t-test T=DSn under H0, where S=i=1nDi-D¯2n-1

5. Chi-square distribution χ2 :

If Z~N(0,1) then Z2~χ2 with 1 degree of freedom.

6. Applications of chi-square distribution:

(i) To test the variance of the normal population.

(ii) To test the independence of attributes.

(iii) To test the goodness of fit of a distribution.

7. Test statistic for test of hypotheses using chi-square distribution:

(i) For population variance of the normal population when population mean is assumed to be unknown is χ2=(n-1)s2σ02 under H0.

(ii) For independence of attributes is χ2=i=1mj=1nOij-Eij2Eij under H0, where Eij=Ri×CjN.

(iii) For Goodness of fit χ2=i=1kOi-Ej2Ei under H0.

8. Expected frequency:

Expected frequency = sample size × {probablity for the corresponding cell}.
