What is the formula for the z-score in a one-proportion z-test?

z=p^p0p0(1p0)nz = \frac{\hat{p} - p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}}} where p^\hat{p} is the sample proportion, p0p_0 is the hypothesized population proportion, and n is the sample size.

What is the formula for the z-score in a one-proportion z-test?

z=p^p0p0(1p0)nz = \frac{\hat{p} - p_0}{\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}}} where p^\hat{p} is the sample proportion, p0p_0 is the hypothesized population proportion, and n is the sample size.

How to calculate the standard error of the sample proportion?

p0(1p0)n\sqrt{\frac{p_0(1-p_0)}{n}} where p0p_0 is the hypothesized population proportion, and n is the sample size.

What are the differences between the null and alternative hypotheses?

Null Hypothesis: Statement we are trying to find evidence against, assumes no effect. | Alternative Hypothesis: Statement we are trying to support, contradicts the null hypothesis.

What are the differences between a one-tailed and a two-tailed test?

One-tailed Test: Tests for a change in one direction (either > or <). | Two-tailed Test: Tests for a change in either direction (≠).

What is the Null Hypothesis (H0)?

The statement we're trying to find evidence against. It's our initial assumption about the population parameter, written as p = [some value].

What is the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha)?

The claim that contradicts the null hypothesis, written as p < [some value], p > [some value], or p ≠ [some value].

What is a one-tailed test?

A test where the alternative hypothesis uses < or >, indicating interest in a change in one direction only.

What is a two-tailed test?

A test where the alternative hypothesis uses ≠, indicating interest in a change in either direction.

What is the p-value?

The probability of getting a sample proportion as extreme as (or more extreme than) ours, assuming the null hypothesis is true.
