8774557258 | What conditions must be checked if σ is given? | -SRS: data must be random -Normality: given or CLT (20 or more values) -Independence: N≥10n | 0 | |
8774557259 | What conditions must be checked if σ is unknown? | -SRS: data must be random -Normality: single-peaked, bell curve -Independence: N≥10n | 1 | |
8774557260 | What conditions must be checked if estimating proportion? | -SRS: data must be random -Normality: np≥10, n(1-p)≥10 -Independence: N≥10n | 2 | |
8774557261 | Conclusion | We can say with C% confidence that mean/proportion is within the interval (Estimate±margin of error) | 3 | |
8774557262 | Test statistic when estimating µ (σ given) | z* | 4 | |
8774557263 | Test statistic when estimating µ (σ unknown) | t* | 5 | |
8774557264 | Test statistic when estimating p | z* | 6 | |
8774557265 | Confidence interval | estimate±(test statistic*standard error) | 7 | |
8774557266 | Standard error when estimating µ (σ given) | σ/√n | 8 | |
8774557267 | Standard error when estimating µ (σ unknown) | s/√n | 9 | |
8774557268 | Standard error when estimating p | √(p^(1-p^)/n) | ![]() | 10 |
8774557269 | How to find the test statistic | -Use confidence level to find tail areas (1-C/2) -use invT or invNorm | 11 | |
8774557270 | Degrees of freedom | -n-1 -needed only when using t test statistic | 12 | |
8774557271 | Paired t procedures | -x and s come from the difference in the pairs -solve as normal -conclusion is the interval of difference | 13 | |
8774557272 | Comparing two means | -estimate will be sample 1 est - sample 2 est -standard error becomes (√(σ²₁/n₁)+(σ²₂/n₂)) -must square standard deviations (replace σ with s if σ is unknown) -must specify which population was subtracted from which in conclusion | 14 | |
8774557273 | Comparing two proportion | -estimate will be sample 1 prop - sample 2 prop -standard error: √(p^₁(1-p^₁)/n₁)+(p^₂(1-p^₂)/n₂) -must check normality conditions for both populations | 15 |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
