P Value

The probability of _______ results at least as ________ as the ________ results, under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true.

Obtaining, extreme, observed

2
New cards

P value < 0.05

  1. What do we do with the null hypothesis?

  2. Is it statistically significant?

  3. Laymans explanation

NULL = “NO DIFFERENCE”

P < 0.05 = “REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS” (EVIDENCE AGAINST IT)

the observed results are statistically significant

There is likely a difference or assocaition in the population

Unlikely due to random chance

3
New cards

P value > 0.05

  1. What do you do with the null hypothesis?

  2. Is it statistically significant?

  3. Laymans exxplanation

A P value greater than 0.05.

“FAIL TO REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS” ( indicates insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis),

The observed results are not statistically significant. “COULD BE DUE TO CHANCE”

WE DO NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING”

“WE ONLY REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS OR FAIL TO REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS”

4
New cards

Null hypothesis

Starting statement: The null hypothesis is a statement that there is no effect, no difference, or no association between variables in a population.

“NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GROUPS A AND B”

“THE INTERVENTION HAS NO EFFECT ON OUTCOMES”

“THERE IS NO ASSOCIATION BETWEEN A AND B”

5
New cards

Confidence Interval

_________of values that estimates the _________ value from a _______

Range, true population, sample

6
New cards

95% confidence interval

95% confident that the true population value is within this interval

7
New cards

Confidence Interval contains 0

“Fail to reject null hypothesis”

NOT adopt or accept it

P > 0.05

No effect

Not statistically significant

8
New cards

Standard deviation

How spread out a set of data is in relation to it's mean

9
New cards

Statistical inference

Statistical process of drawing conclusions about a population based on a population sample

e.g. P Value and Confidence interval

10
New cards

Population vs Sample

Population = entire group you want to study or draw conclusions about

Sample = Subset of the population used to make conclusions about the population

11
New cards

Types of Statistical inference

Hypothesis Testing

Estimation

12
New cards

Hypothesis Testing

Test to see if the observed effect is likely due to chance , or reflects a true difference or association in the population. “Is it statistically significant?”

13
New cards

P Value and confidence interval tell us about the population(people not part of the study)

true

14
New cards

Null hypothesis

No difference between the groupS

15
New cards

CONFIDENCE INTERVAL GIVE AN INDICATION OF THE SIZE OF DIFFERENCE, WHEREAS P VALUE ONLY INDICATES IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE

TRUE
