Topics Covered

• Hypothesis Testing Framework — Set up hypothesis tests with null and alternative hypotheses, significance level, and p-values.
• Type I and Type II Errors — Understand Type I and Type II errors, their probabilities, and the concept of power.
• Confidence Intervals for Means — Construct and interpret confidence intervals for a population mean using the t-distribution.
• Interpreting Confidence Intervals — Correctly interpret confidence intervals and understand confidence level meaning.
• Tests for Means — Perform one-sample and two-sample t-tests for means.
• Paired Data — Analyze paired data using the paired t-test and matched pairs designs.
• Inference for Two Sample Means (CI and Test) — Two-sample t-interval and t-test for the difference in two population means μ1 - μ2 using independent samples.
