  • Statistics 101: Single Sample Hypothesis t-test - Part 1
    Part 1: Conceptual Background
    Part 2: Example Problems
    In Part 1 of this video, we discuss the basics of single sample hypothesis testing when we do not know the population standard deviation and/or are using a small sample, n under 100. We also discuss how alpha and the t-distribution influence the location of the critical value(s).
    For this type of test, we are comparing a sample mean to a hypothesized population mean. We examine the rejection region, nonrejection region, and the critical values that separate them. Finally, we learn to compute the t-statistic. Enjoy!

    Brandon, I ran away from my maths classes in the 70s and from college stats classes in the early 80s. You are helping me with what nobody could teach me then. You are a genius. And you deserve my commendation. May God keep you going stronger.

    THANK YOU! My professor is so unclear I was losing hope of understanding before the next assignment is due. Thank you for including the words of encouragement at the start! Thank you even more for your clear and thorough explanations throughout. I now feel confident that I will figure it all out eventually and do well in the class if I keep watching your videos and practicing. Thank you!!!

  • @BrandonFoltz
    @BrandonFoltz  10 років тому

    It all depends on the sample size. At n=100 the z- and t- are almost the same. The t- just accounts for the limits of sampling as n decreases. It's not that we "want" a less representative sample, it's that it just comes with the territory of sampling. With small samples, the interval has to be wider for us to be 95% confident that interval contains the "true" population mean.

  • @BrandonFoltz
    @BrandonFoltz  10 років тому

    ...and that is because in the t-distribution there is more variability or uncertainty due to the sample size being smaller than the population (which it is by definition). So the endpoints (t-values) move outward to account for this variability.
