Choose Inference Type

Choose Criteria : (i.e. Tolerance for Error)

Confidence Interval or Significance Test (w/ H₀ and H_a)

Confidence Level= or alpha-level=

1. Random selection of sample from population

2. Independent : multiple samples do not consist of same members (samples are independent of each other)

3. Normal Distribution: Does Central Limit Theorem apply?

Normalized Criteria

Theory / Algebra / Formula

Data (Test Statistic)

Normalized Critical Value from Critical Criteria:

Axis:  z* or t*

Area: alpha-level

Axis : z-score or t-score

Area : P-value

Compare : Area : P-value < (or >) alpha-level

Contrast : reject (or not reject) H0

Context : Describe, in plain English, the conclusion in terms of the original problem.
