1 PSet Stats, Cocepts I Statistics Cofidece Iterval Guesswork with Cofidece VII. CONFIDENCE INTERVAL 7.1. Sigificace Level ad Cofidece Iterval (CI) The Sigificace Level The sigificace level, ofte deoted by, is a pre-specified value that is used to compare with the probability of a evet uder a propositio kow as the ull hypothesis. The probability of the evet is regarded as the P value ad is cosidered as the coditioal probability of makig a error (Type I error) of rejectig the ull hypothesis while the propositio of ull hypothesis is true. The sigificace level is associated with a critical z-scores z i N(0,1) distributio or a critical t i t distributio, depedig o which distributios i the applicatios are used. Three cases associated with are ofte practiced: the left-tailed, the right-tailed ad twotailed. Oly the two-tailed case is used i determiig the cofidece iterval (CI) i ormal ad t distributios. df is the degree of freedom i the t distributios. 1

2 PSet Stats, Cocepts I Statistics [MATH] Assume the ull hypothesis or the propositio H 0. The sigificace level is the probability of rejectig the ull hypothesis while the ull hypothesis is true: ( reject H H is true) = Pr 0 0 The critical z * value of Z-distributio or the critical value t * of t-distributio are defied mathematically as follows: 1.) For left-sided: Pr ( Z < z *) =, Pr ( < *) =.) For right-sided: Pr ( Z > z *) =, Pr ( > *) = 3.) For two-sided: Pr ( Z > z * ) =, Pr ( * ) T t T t T > t = [Ti-84] The critical z * or t * values ca be calculated as follows: 1.) Left-tailed: z = ivnorm( ), t = ivt (, df ) ;.) Right-tailed: z = ivnorm( 1 ), t = ivt ( 1, df ) 3.)

8 PSet Stats, Cocepts I Statistics The Cofidece Iterval [MATH] A estimator ˆ θ is called a ubiased estimator for parameterθ, if the expected value of ˆ θ is θ : E[ ˆ θ ] = θ The differece of E[ ˆ θ ] θ is called the bias of ˆ θ. The ituitive meaig of a ubiased estimator is oe that does ot systematically overestimate or uderestimate the θ. The cofidece level (CL) is a probability that is defied as 1. I the two-tailed case whe the is give, the Cofidece Iterval (CI) is defied as the iterval cotaiig the parameter for some obtaied statistic such that Statistic Parameter Pr < c * = 1 Variability Where c * is the critical value for either z * or t *. The CI is the domai for the probability i terms of the parameter, ad CI is oly defied for the symmetric distributios: or Statistic c * Variability < Parameter < Statstic + c * Variability ( *, * ) CI = Statistic c Variability Statstic + c Variability Specifically, for a give measure x uder the ormal distributio, the cofidece level is used to estimate the mea µ by fidig the domai of probability Pr( z < z*) = 1 or x µ Pr < z * = 1 σ The iterval. The iterval to iclude the mea is µ [ x z * σ, x z * σ ] [ * σ, * σ ] CI = x z x + z +. is the cofidece iterval (CI) for a give measure x ad sigificace level to estimate the mea µ. 8

9 PSet Stats, Cocepts I Statistics 7.. Cofidece Iterval for a Proportio i Oe Sample The Cofidece Iterval (CI) is used to estimate the populatio parameter from the statistic obtaied from the sample data. Example [THE TENAFLY SKITTLES PROBLEM] You are give a jar of Skittles. Some are red. You are iterested i fidig the proportio of red Skittles i the jar. The method of fidig the proportio really depeds o the umber of Skittles i the jar. Whe the umber is small, direct coutig may be the best way; whe the umber is relatively large, a samplig method may be more suitable. Assume that N -- the umber of total Skittles i the jar x -- the umber of red Skittles i the jar x p = -- the proportio of red Skittles i the jar, a oegative real umber N -- the size of a sample ˆx -- the umber of red Skittles i a sample xˆ = -- the proportio of red Skittles i a sample Based o the probability theory, develop a samplig method to fid the iterval that covers the proportio of red Skittles i the jar. Clearly state the coditios whe approximatios are used. Solutio: Use SRS method to select a sample of size. The selectio of Skittles is radom ad idepedet. Pickig skittles from a jar ca be viewed as a Beroulli process whe the sample size is small compared with the populatio size. I the followig example, assume 4 red skittles i the small bag ad 40 red i the large jar. 10 skittles are radomly selected i each cotaier. 9

10 PSet Stats, Cocepts I Statistics [MATH] The selectio problem should be modeled as a hypergeometric problem. That is, the k successes i draws without replacemet. The stadard deviatio for the hypergeometric model is N p(1 p) σ = N 1 N where N 1 is the modificatio factor. Whe the samplig fractio is small, say N 10% N, the stadard deviatio ca be approximated as 1 N p(1 p) p(1 p) σ = 1 1 N This is the 10% rule. That is, whe the sample size is less tha 10% of the populatio, the selectio problem ca be viewed as with replacemet problem. 10

11 PSet Stats, Cocepts I Statistics Let us assume that the 10% rule is satisfied. I this case, each time whe a Skittle is selected durig samplig, the probability of gettig a red is p. The probability of gettig the other color Skittle i each selectio is q = 1 p. The sketch of the tree diagram is The mea ad stadard deviatio are µ = p, σ = xˆ xˆ pq Whe the coditios: p > 10 ad q > 10 are satisfied, the biomial distributio ca be approximated by the ormal distributio. The z-score for ˆx is xˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ p x µ ˆ x x p p p zxˆ = = = = = z σ xˆ pq pq pq pq The term σ ˆp = is the stadard deviatio of the sample. Sice p is ukow, approximatio ca be made by 11

12 PSet Stats, Cocepts I Statistics σ = pq pq ˆ ˆ ad z p ˆ p pq ˆ ˆ For a give sigificace level, the cofidece iterval (CI) is ˆ p p Pr z < z = Pr < z = 1 σ pq ˆ ˆ ˆ(1 ˆ) ˆ(1 ˆ) ˆ p p, ˆ p CI p z p z p = + Or, i the iterval otatio: (1 ) (1 ) z < p < + z i the form of margi of error (MoE) z (1 ) : z ± (1 ) 1

13 PSet Stats, Cocepts I Statistics The meaig of cofidece iterval is that for a obtaied sample proportio, the populatio proportio p has a probability 1 to be cotaied i CI. There are cases that the CI obviously fails to catch the populatio whe 0 < p < 1: p ˆ = 0 : CI = (0,0) or p ˆ = 1: CI = (1,1) As a example, whe = 5%, ad samplig repeats 100 times, about 95 of the CIs are expected to cotai the populatio proportio p. For a give ad from the characteristic property of quadratic fuctio, the stadard p( 1 p) deviatio σ p = reaches maximum whe p = 0. 5 : σ (0.5) 1 max = = [PROCEDURE] Cofidece Iterval for a Proportio i Oe Sample The steps to obtai a CI for the populatio proportio p from the sample proportio (statistic) with sample size are 1.) The sample is a idepedet radom (the variables are i.i.d.)..) The sample size is less tha 10% of populatio. 3.) 10, (1 ) 10 to approximate the biomial distributio by the ormal distributio. 4.) The CI is costructed from the sample statistic ˆp for a give sigificace level : where (SE). z ˆ(1 ˆ) ˆ(1 ˆ) ˆ p p, ˆ p CI p z p z p = + (1 ) is the margi of error (MoE) ad (1 ) is the Stadard Error 13

Assume that the total populatio of these two classes is 800 ad all two grades are equally likely to do summer iterships or commuity services. Use the calculator to verify your aswers.

Accordig to the istructios for makig the cricket, whe it jumps it will lad o its feet half of the time ad o its back the other half of the time. I the 50 jumps, Courtey s cricket laded o its feet 35 times. I the ext 10 jumps, it laded o its feet oly twice. Based o this experiece, Courtey ca coclude that (A) the cricket was due to lad o its feet less tha half the time durig the fial 10 jumps, sice it had haded too ofte o its feet durig the first 50 jumps. (B) a cofidece iterval for estimatig the cricket s true probability of ladig o its feet is wider after the fial 10 jumps tha it was before the fial 10 jumps. (C) a cofidece iterval for estimatig the cricket s true probability of ladig o its feet after the fial 10 jumps is exactly the same as it was before the fial 10 jumps. (D) a cofidece iterval for estimatig the cricket s true probability of ladig o its feet is more arrow after the fial 10 jumps tha it was before the fial 10 jumps. (E) a cofidece iterval for estimatig the cricket s true probability of ladig o its feet based o the iitial 50 jumps does ot iclude 0., so there must be a defect i the cricket s costructio to accout for the poor showig i the fial 10 jumps.
