MATH121-E Sir. Francis

1) Is a subject or issue that a researcher is interested in


when conducting research.
2) Is a hypothesis concerning the parameters or from the
probability distribution for a designated population or
populations, or more generally of a probabilistic
mechanism which is supposed to generate the
observations.
3) Important guides to steer the research in the direction
related to the research question.
4) An explanation of the phenomenon that is supported by
empirical data.
5) Hypothesis- It is basically a blunt statement that mostly
expresses the researcher’s predetermined opinions,
inclinations, observations or non-substantiated (little or
no data) conclusions. Its serves as a possible answer to
the research question before empirical data is
collected(an assumption made before any research has
been done). Theory- An explanation of the phenomenon
that is supported by empirical data.
6) Conducting a literature review establishes your
familiarity with an understanding of the current
research in a particular field before carrying out a new
investigation.
7) It is where you interpret and explain your results within
your thesis or dissertation reviews the findings and puts
them into the context of the overall research.
8) Introduction, review of literature, methods, results and
discussion
9) Topic: The Scores of Statistics Students
Research question: What is the total mean score of
statistics students?
Hypothesis: The mean score of statistics students is not
less than 80%.

10) Z-test for mean


Chi-square test for variance
Chi-square test for randomness
Chi-square test for independence

11) Z-test(test for mean) is used for testing the claim of


someone regarding the mean

Chi-square test for variance is used to test whether


there was a variation in the distribution of two sets of
values (historical and present values)

The chi square test for randomness is used to test which


distribution is random or not

The chi-square test for independence is used to test


which distribution is independent from/of the other
12)

Mean is a parameter. But it can also be a statistics depending


on numerical variable eg. Height
Variance is a parameter. It describes any statistical
distribution
Standard deviation is a statistic. It measures the dispersion of
the data set relative to its mean. Which can be calculated as
the square root of the variance.

HO: The observed values are equal to expected values.


Ha: The observed values are not equal to the expected
values.
(O-E)2
