    I'll be honest with you, my professor simply stated you used the Z-Stats when the mean is unknown and t-Stats when the mean is known. That's all he said!! I've been searching for hours to find the real difference until I came across this video. Thank you again!

    • @gustavomontecinos2474
      @gustavomontecinos2474 9 месяцев назад

      You don't. What you have to do is assume the mean population. Since you have the other parameters you can sa for example, let's assume the mean population is "2", then you fill the rest of the formula and you are going to get the cumulative probability of that happening in the population. In summary, your mean population serves as an "X" that you can replace to see what's the most likely value, or better, the most likely interval.

    Since you have to get the population mean in both and that can be difficult in many cases, I don't see how the t stat as any more valuable. You have the population mean in either z or t stat, getting the population SD is trivial. t stat would make more sense if you didn't have to have the population mean.

    But I wonder if there is really a difference between Z score and Z statistics?
    I'm confused about when the √n is used and when is not, as Z score and Z statistics are generally considered the same thing as what I can find on Google😢

    • @AceTutors1
      @AceTutors1  2 года назад +1

      Great question Sean! It may be helpful to think of them as pretty much the same thing at the end of the day. The formula that I give for z-statistics is the truest form of the equation. The z-score equation is the same thing without the square root of n. That is because it is used to find the z score for a single value within a sample. Since it is a single value, n is equal to 1 which is why it disappears in that formula.

      @@AceTutors1 Thank you so much for answering my query 3 months ago! As I look into where the √n comes from through mathematical derivation, I noticed that it is from the number of values taken into account to calculate variance, so when we take the square root of σ2, we will get the √n in the denominator. As I look into your video again, and fit it into the context of Z-score/statistic as explained by you, the Z-statistic with the denominator of √n is used to find 1 sample mean from a population, I reckon my understanding might be correct and would like to hear your thoughts to see if you would validate the following deductive reasoning: Does it make sense to say that the denominator in Z-statistic (Standard error) is the standard deviation of sample means, therefore the variance of the sum of squared of sample means from the population mean, and the "n" here refers to the number of sample statistics?

    But how do you have the population mean?

      Awesome question! You will see t-statistics used in a couple different contexts, but the most frequent one is hypothesis testing. In hypothesis testing for means, you are trying to test a null hypothesis to see whether your population mean is equal to some value. You don't actually have the true population mean. Instead, you will use this proposed value in the formula as your population mean, mu, and essentially see how it compares to the mean you collect from a sample, x-bar, (taking into the sample standard deviation and sample size). The resulting t-statistic will ultimately be a measure of how far away your sample mean is from the proposed population mean (from the null hypothesis) and how confident you can be that the true population mean is different than that proposed value. Let us know if you have any other questions!
