Topics:

1) Confidence Interval for a Population Mean

Know how to define the following terms:

Point estimator

Target parameter

Sampling error

Confidence interval

Confidence level

Difference between a normal and t distribution

Know how to construct and interpret a confidence interval for a population mean using t-statistic

Be able to verify that ALL conditions for conducting inference have been met.

2) Hypothesis Testing for Single Sample Mean

Know how to define the following terms:

Level of significance

Type I and II errors

p-value

Parameter of interest

Know how to set up a hypothesis test for a single sample mean, check that all assumptions have been met, calculate a test statistic, make a decision about the null hypothesis using either a critical value from the t-table or using a given p-value and state a conclusion in the context of the question.

3) Comparing Two Populations - paired and independent

Know how to:

Identify the target population

Identify the interval estimate

Determine if the design is independent or paired

Check that assumption/conditions for conducting a two-sample test on means.

Understand when to use a nonparametric test and how they use ranks

Know how to conduct an independent sample t-test or confidence interval

Know how to conduct a paired t-test or confidence interval

Can someone just give me examples of these topics and definitions as well as tips/tricks on how to identify them? Please and thank you.
