    Thank you thank you!! It's like you knew exactly what confuses me and made a targeted video. I love the way you explained it. Does anyone else find your voice incredibly soothing? I could listen to you for hours...

    Awesome, after 3 years of using it this video finally explained to me what the "p" stands for in p-value :)

    Very good. Others were introducing the video with really technical explanations. How can we introduce a topic assuming that everyone knows. So I'm really grateful for this video👌❤

    That is a good question and hard to answer. I noticed a lot explanations on the internet and in texts are not real enlightening.
    The number of degrees of freedom (df) depends on how many variables (things you are trying to estimate). For example, with standard deviation there is only one variable being estimated (standard deviation), df = n-1 where n is the sample size.
    As the sample size becomes large the degrees of freedom become irrelevant.
    I do need to create a vid on this subject!

    Are you doing a two tail test? If so you need to divide your significance by 2 (.10 divided by 2 is .05). Not sure about the 16. Because that is degrees of freedom. The degrees of freedom is equal the sample size of group 1 - 1 plus the sample size of group 2 - 1.

    The null hypothesis is that is no change. We reject the null hypothesis if the results fall within the green area and fail to reject it the results fall into green area.

  • @janetbailey7866
    @janetbailey7866 7 лет назад +1

    When you write a compound inequality for two non-contiguous areas, you should split the inequality into two statements:
    z < -1.96 or z > 1.96 (read as "z is less than or equal to -1.96" or "z is greater than or equal to 1.96").
    What you have written is incorrect because it implies that the negative value is greater than the positive value.

    @ss4868 11 лет назад

    @ 4:58 You said that 2.093 is close to 1.96 its close to 2.00 differance of this size translates to a very different value of area under the curve especially when doing hypothesis and multiplying by large numbers.

  • @bijoudeaux1
    @bijoudeaux1 11 лет назад

    I am very confused and would really like some help. I see you referred to alpha and p value as the same, but my lecturer wants us, in conducting t tests to Reject Ho if p value is less than alpha. I would really appreciate some clarification. Also, when it is a 2 tailed test and no alpha is given, do I still use 5% level? Eg, in the regression output table, the t statistic for a variable is 1.6601. There are 7 variables(not including the constant) and 208 obs. So df=208-7-1=200.

  • @britneydude
    @britneydude 11 лет назад +1

    Great Video...Help A few Questions.
    1) what equation do you use to get -12.7 and 12.7 besides looking at the table?
    2) When do we use t-distribution?
    3) I understand for the part that if t is greater than or equal to 12.7, you would reject BUT if t is less than or equal to -12.7, why would you reject it?...shouldn't it be greater than or equal to -12.7, then u reject it...because if it's less than or equal to -12.7 (say -12.5 or -12), -12.5 or -12 is in the green area so then why would you reject it then?.... i hope you understand what i am trying to say.
    Please help..million thanks

    • @makefairtrade
      @makefairtrade 10 лет назад

      I know this is really late, but to address your third question:
      I think you may have just got turned around with the numbers when thinking in the negative (-12.7).
      The example you gave you said "..because if it's less than or equal to -12.7 (say -12.5 or -12), -12.5 or -12.." but that statement itself is not correct.
      -12.5 is GREATER than -12.7, not less than. When dealing with negative numbers, the closer the number is to zero, the larger it is. Eg: -2 is less than -1, because -2 is further away from zero than -1 is.
      So anything less than -12.7 you reject (anything to the left of the green area), so -12.8, -12.9, -13, would all be rejected, because they are less than -12.7.

  • @bijoudeaux1
    @bijoudeaux1 11 лет назад

    So do I just look for the p value in the ttable closest to 1.6601 under 5% alpha?I am getting the p value of 1.980. I used '120' and not infinity. In this case, the p value is MORE than alpha, so then I do NOT reject Ho? However, when I draw out the 2 tailed test, 1.980 falls within the 'rejection region'. It is more than 1.6601. This has me really confused. I would really appreciate your help.

    Luis A. Hernandez Roldan. I am a professor at the University of Puerto Rico.
    You have some statistics tutorial videos that I liked a lot. It is possible
    that could translate to Spanish to benefit my students?
    I would greatly appreciate if allowed to use as teaching material.
    Of course I will indicate the end of the video that you are the creator of the
    tutorial videos. In order to protect copyright
