STAT 151 Introduction to Applied Statistics I Byron Schmuland CAB 473 byrons@ualberta.ca Why bother with statistics? If your experiment needs statistics‚ you ought to have done a better experiment. Ernest Rutherford Uncertainty is everywhere! Many processes in nature (chemical‚ physical‚ economic‚ etc.) follow laws that are not exact‚ but are subject to a certain amount of chance variation. It is impossible to eliminate all sources of variation from an experiment‚ no matter

Question 2 Parameters are known‚ constant values that are usually coefficients of variables in equations. Question 3 Probabilistic techniques assume that no uncertainty exists in model parameters. Question 4 In general‚ an increase in price increases the break even point if all costs are held constant. Question 5 P(A | B) is the

Kim Graves 19-November-2013 ED-D 560 John Walsh Assignment 4 Once again Professor Schmedlap has brought forward his reading program and requested it be compared with the new and old basal reading programs. Given this information‚ we will create the hypothesis: that there is at least one pair of means that is statistically significant. That is to say that Schmedlap’s reading program will be significantly better than at least one of the other two programs. Our null hypothesis is that there is no
