Permutations: # of ways to select n elements in r places: nPr
Combination: order doesnt matter in selection
Hypothesis testing: to decide if there is enough evidence to reject a hypothesis.
Null hypothesis: baseline assumption where there is no effect or difference
Significance value: (α) is the threshold for determining whether the observed data is extreme enough to reject the null hypothesis, commonly set at 0.05.
Type 1 error: rejecting null hypothesis while it is true in reality.
Type 2 error: accepting null hypothesis while it is false in reality.
2 tailed question:
checks for the possibility of an effect in both directions, meaning it tests whether a parameter is significantly greater than or less than a certain value.
1 tailed question:
checks for an effect in only one direction, either greater than or less than a certain value.
Point estimation:
estimate a parameter(population variable) from statistic (sample variable).
Upper bound:
Point estimate + margin of error
Lower bound:
Point estimate - margin of error
