Document Summary
Crim 320 week 4 distributions, the normal curve, and hypothesis testing. Office hours have been revised: please feel free to go to any or all. All assignments will be handed in during lecture. Must have both names, both std numbers, and tutorial in which it will be picked-up. Discuss the fundamentals of the binomial distribution. Explain how hypothesis testing and testing and tests of statistical significance are related to the standard normal distribution. When we can make inferences from sample |stats to a population| parameter, it"s significant if it has an effect, real results. Hypothesis testing is about evaluating sample results. Is relevant for variables that can only have two possible outcomes. A binomial distribution is a dist that can only have two possible outcomes. Sampling dist a distribution of all possible sample outcomes for a statistic. Standard error the standard deviation of a sampling distribution.
