    Use the Z score formula to calculate Z then
    You use Z value table.
    2.61 is a Z score and the probability for 2.61 from the table is 0.9955.
    However this value is the area (1-a). So to find the correct area of the tail, you subtract 0.9955 from 1 which gives 0.0045

Thank you so much for breaking the concepts down to make it more understandable. :)

  • @otissumnerbrown
    @otissumnerbrown 11 років тому +4

    I like your P-Value testing approach - it is better than my college-level statistics course. With "null testing" - you get some "negatives". If you are testing a "research hypothesis", the you are almost always looking for a "one tail test". Your "research hypothesis" can be very strong by these methods. Thanks for your effort!

  • @poysermath
    @poysermath  11 років тому +15

    If you're not given an alpha value, then look for something similar like "level of significance at 90%", which is the same thing as alpha = 0.10. A 95% level of significance translates into alpha = 0.05, and 99% level of signif means alpha = 0.01.
    What if you don't see a level of significance? Then, I'm guessing that you get to set alpha yourself. If that's the case, then set alpha to either 0.01, 0.05, or 0.10 depending on how critical it would be if you made a Type I error.

    Thank you! I'm in business stats 2 and although I am familiar with finding critical values for t and z the p value has completely thrown me off! My instructor does not give lectures (I can contact her for help), and the class is solely taught by Hawkes Learning software (which is not always direct with information). This video saved me a lot of time. I've been scouring the internet trying to figure out how I find my p-value and your video put it very simple.

    I probably would not mind statistics if it could be taught like this 24/7. This video literally saved my sanity. I had 2 different people trying to help me decipher what my textbook was trying to convey through vague wordy descriptions. Many frustrated hours later, I concluded the class was too complicated and I was doomed to fail. Enter sudden bright idea to check UA-cam! Why in the world are we paying so much for something that only requires a ten-minute video explanation? To the creator of this video, you should be so proud of yourself. And thank you. Thank you for saving my sanity and my class score. #screwtraditionalclasses #letsdoyoutubecollege

    @112222lucas 11 років тому

    In traditional method, the critical value is equivalent to alpha and we can test our claim by comparing T-value and the critical value(Z), which makes sense. By using P-value method, the example you mentioned in this video, right-tailed test, the shaded area is 0.0045 which is P-value, and compare p-value with given alpha 0.01, we can test our claim.However, as alpha is given so it means that the critical area is 0.01 which is in the right tail so it seems the same as the shaded area(P-value)

  • @gooddeedsleadto7499
    @gooddeedsleadto7499 4 роки тому +1

    Why?
    p value is related to various confidence levels, say from lower confidence level to higher, 90, 95 & 99% as an example, which determines the higher significance level from higher to lower 10, 5 & 1% as an example. Testing based on lower confidence level has higher significance because it is a higher level of risk mitigation?
    Conversely, Testing based on higher confidence level has lower significance because it is a smaller risk mitigation? Please help me intuitively understand this?
    smaller p value means lower probability or likelihood of occurrence in a sample, given the population mean is true? & likewise higher p value means
    higher probability or likelihood of occurrence in a sample, given population mean value is true?
    & we reject the null because because of the lower probability of occurrence found in the sample, given the population mean is assumed to true.
    Could u explain with an example of coin thrown 2 times in a row?
    Could u explain with an example of dice thrown few times in a row?
    Could u include p value based hypothesis testing using the above examples?

    The area to the LEFT of a test statistic of -2.61 equals .0045. The area to the RIGHT of a test statistic of 2.61 equals .0045.
    So, the P-value is the area in the tail of the test statistic. Shade to the left or to the right by reading the Alternative Hypothesis ("Ha" or "H1").
    If Ha: u less # then it's a left-tail test.
    If Ha: u greater # then it's a right-tail test.
    If Ha: u not= # then it's a two-tail test, and the area in the tail must be doubled to find the P-value.

    im sorry but u literally just threw that .0045 from thin air for a maths tutorial not explaining that properly isn't good. is that figure arbitrary, does it just depend on the particular question?

      The purpose of this video is to show how P-value method works. I showed how to find the area of probabilities in a separate video.

      LOL. No hate felt my friend. But your comment made me stop and think about my video more. So, I updated it, thanks to you! I now have a comment pop up during the video to point viewers to my other video that explains where the .0045 comes from. So, I thank you for your comment!

    Wow this really helped me so much especially after the 7 minute mark! Thank you so much you explained this a lot better than my college professor did in the 3 hour lecture!!
