What is the formula for the standard deviation of the difference in sample proportions?
Formula for the mean of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample proportions.
What is the formula for calculating a confidence interval?
Point Estimate ± (Critical Value * Standard Error)
How do you calculate the sample proportion?
How to calculate standard error of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample proportions.
Define 'sampling distribution of the difference in proportions'.
Distribution of all possible differences in sample proportions you could get if you repeated the study many times.
What is 'standard error'?
The standard deviation of a sampling distribution.
Define 'point estimate'.
A single value estimate for a population parameter.
Define 'nonresponse bias'.
Bias that occurs when certain groups are more or less likely to respond to a survey.
What is the 'Large Counts' condition?
Condition to confirm normality for proportion inference, verifying that , , , and .
Explain the concept of variance addition when comparing two proportions.
When dealing with differences, variances ALWAYS add. To find the standard deviation, take the square root of the combined variance.
Explain the purpose of checking the Large Counts condition.
To confirm that the sampling distribution of the difference in sample proportions is approximately normal.
What does the sampling distribution for the difference in sample proportions represent?
It represents all possible differences in sample proportions you could obtain if you repeated the sampling process many times.
Why is it important to understand the sampling distribution?
It allows us to make inferences about the true difference in population proportions based on sample data.
Describe the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) in the context of proportions.
With sufficiently large sample sizes, the sampling distribution of the difference in sample proportions will be approximately normal, regardless of the shape of the original populations.
