TODAY WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT ON HOW TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE TOOL WHEN THE VARIANCE IS KNOWN, UNKNOWN AND WHEN THE CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM IS USED.
IF THE POPULATION VARIANCE IS KNOWN THEN THAT MEANS THAT THE POPULATION IS NORMALLY DISTRIBUTED, WHAT ELSE?
THEN THE POPULATION STANDARD DEVIATION IS KNOWN TOO SO WE WILL USE Z-TEST!
THE SAMPLE SIZE IS LARGE! THE SAMPLE SIZE IS GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 30.
THAT MEANS THAT THE SAMPLE SIZE IS LESS THAN 30.
VERY GOOD! NOW LET'S PROCEED WHEN THE POPULATION VARIANCE IS UNKNOWN, IT ONLY MEANS THAT THE POPULATION IS NORMAL OR NEARLY NORMALLY DISTRIBUTED.
THEN THE SAMPLE STANDARD DEVIATION IS KNOWN WHILE THE POPULATION STANDARD DEVIATION IS UNKNOWN.
THAT WILL RESULT FOR US TO USE T-TEST!
THE VARIANCE IS KNOWN OR UNKNOWN.
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! LASTLY IS THE CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM, IT MEANS THAT THE POPULATION MAY NOT BE NORMALLY DISTRIBUTED.
WE CAN USE Z-TEST BY REPLACING POPULATION STANDARD DEVIATION BY SAMPLE STANDARD DEVIATION IN THE FORMULA.
THEN THE SAMPLE SIZE IS ALSO GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 30 OR CONSIDERED SUFFICIENTLY LARGE.
VERY IMPRESSIVE! THAT'S ALL FOR TODAY. GOOD BYE AND THANK YOU CLASS!
