OMIS 2010 Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Textbook Study Guide
Document Summary
Chapter 14: statistical inference: a review of chapters. This chapter was much more than a review of the statistical techniques presented in the previous three chapters. As we"ve repeatedly said, the most difficult challenge facing statistics students is the problem of choosing the correct method. At this point, we think it is necessary for you to look back and check to see whether you can select the appropriate inferential procedure from the 17 already presented. In this chapter, we provide 13 exercises whose solution requires the use of one of the statistical techniques introduced in chapters 12 and 13. We recommend that you use the flowchart exhibited in the textbook (figure 14. 1). For each exercise, proceed through the flowchart answering all questions in order to identify the method to use. Then specify the null and alternative hypotheses and the rejection region (if you"re performing calculations manually).
