Can we use a z table for this? My book only has problems with z table when it comes to proportion hypothesis testing. Is this problem not normally distributed? Thanks.
You're trying to determine if getting 2 or less is significant of not. Ben would still think the coin is bias if heads appeared once or not at all. It's not like he would consider the coin to be bias only if 2 heads appeared, but not bias if only 1 head appeared. You always use cumulative probabilities for hypothesis testing.
You look at P(X≤2) because you're trying to determine whether Heads appearing two or fewer times out of 10 flips is significant or not. If I asked you to tell me how many heads you would need to get to convince you that the coin was bias in favour of tails, and you said two heads, then you would still think the coin is bias if you got 1 head, or 0 heads. So you don't just look at P(X=2). For hypothesis testing, you always look at cumulative probabilities.
How many heads would you need to get in order for you to think that the coin is bias towards tails? 0 heads? 1 head? 2 heads? If you said 2 heads, you mean AT MOST 2 heads, which is less than or equal to 2. So you're testing whether getting less than or equal to 2 heads is significant enough to reject the null hypothesis.
You won't pick a number in the exam, you will be told as you are in this question, how many you are testing. So heads only appears twice, so we are testing whether 2 or fewer is significant or not, when measured against the significance level that is set in the question.
Hi everyone. Looking at the AQA mark scheme for the 2018 new spec exams, they have included in the mark scheme and typical answers 'Accept Ho' which you have said in the video not to use.

Hi Steven. The mark scheme allows the use of the terminology "Accept H0" but it is statistically incorrect to say so. I want to make it clear to students and not teach it in a knowingly erroneous way. It is equivalent to after a trial saying that the accused is innocent, when in fact it could be that there wasn't enough evidence to convict them. At the end of a trial, the accused would be told that they had been found 'not guilty', not that they were 'innocent'. Saying "Accept H0" infers that the null hypothesis is correct, when in fact we just don't have the evidence at the moment to say otherwise.
TLMaths Hi sir. I understood and agree with your logic I just wonder why AQA put in their mark schemes the phrasing ‘Accept Ho’ but not the phrasing ‘Do not Reject Ho’ which I have always used in the past but one of the marks awarded was for “inferring Ho is accepted” which made me worry that if I don’t explicitly state that I am accepting Ho then I may not be awarded the mark.
Accept H0 is used in the mark scheme as a lot of people consider it to be acceptable at this level, while OCR MEI for example have specifically required 'fail to reject' in the past. Some mark schemes will even allow 'Accept H1', which is even worse. What you need to understand is that when marking, examiners are not in the game of deducting marks - they are there to give credit where it is due.
Good evening, Do you know how to work this out on the CG50 I tried to do it myself then I watched videos on Binomial Hypothesis Testing using the CG50 but my calculator does not give me the answer of 0.0546875.
hi sir I'm struggling with the concept of significance like what is it showing us I'm very confused? and I don't really get the concept of what a test statistic is e.g. if a Q asks us to state what a suitable test statistic is for an experiment ?
I explained what I meant by significant in response to your other comment, so check that out there. The test statistic is X. A test statistic for a hypothesis test is a statistic calculated from sample data, which is used to decide whether or not to reject H0. For a Binomial distribution it's always the number of 'successes' in the sample. So for example: Q: A wildlife photographer is taking photographs of a rare glass frog. He's found over time that the probability that he'll sight a glass frog, during any day of searching, is 0.05. He moves to another part of the rainforest where he claims the probability will be different. During his first 6 days searching, he spots the frog on 3 of the days. Use a 1% level of significance to test his claim. So if the question was "State the test statistic" then the answer is "Let X = the number of sampled days that he spots a frog".
@@TLMaths hi sir i sorry to come back to you but I still don't get significance or significance levels so why is it that if the prob you get is less than the significance valkue then the results are significant and you reject H0 as that seems very counterintuitive to me ?
The significance level is defined as the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when in fact it was true. So let's say we're flipping a coin to see if it is biased in favour of heads. If the significance level is set at 5%, there is a 5% chance of rejecting the null hypothesis, of rejecting that the coin is fair, even though it actually is fair. The smaller the significance level, the less chance there is of this happening, but it also makes it more difficult to reject the null hypothesis (i.e. you would need to be very sure!). Now as for why the smaller the probability, the greater the likelihood of rejecting the null hypothesis, think back to flipping the coin. Let's say we flip the coin 100 times. How many times would you have to get heads before you're pretty convinced that the coin is biased in favour of heads? Let's say we perform the experiment and Heads comes up 70 times. In the hypothesis test we assume H0 is true, and set up X~B(100,0.5). The probability of Heads coming up 70 or more times is P(X>=70) = 0.000039250698228, so very unlikely. Because it is so unlikely to happen IF p=0.5, the fact that it DID happen spreads doubt on p being equal to 0.5. So if the probability of an event happening is less than the significance level, we have evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
I have heard of this before, where rather than stating what p represents in context, X is defined instead. I haven't seen any mark schemes specifically ask for it though - which board are you doing?
I've looked through all of the specimen exam material for Edexcel, as well as the sample assessment questions and there's very little to go on without asking them directly I'm afraid. If the textbook you use includes and your teacher says to, I'd get into the habit. I don't teach Edexcel so I'm not 100% savvy with what they're expecting to see from their students. I'd contact their maths twitter account and ask if I were you - that'd be the easiest way of getting a response.
Imagine if you had a binomial distribution with a large n, let's say X~B(300,0.5). Then the most likely outcome is either P(X=150) or P(X=151) which are both equal to 0.0460. For a 5% significance level, this would mean that if we only looked at equal to value, then ALL values would be significant as they are all less than 5%! This of course would not make any sense. The significance level is cumulative from one tail or the other, so we always look at less than or equal to, or greater than or equal to.
@@TLMaths if its significant does that mean that they are different enough to other data for it to be biased I'm getting confused with this word significant and I watched ur past vid on it to :(
The result is significant if using the model we have gives a very unlikely result. If the result is unlikely enough (i.e. it is less likely than the significance level), then we deem this result to be significant, telling us to reject H0, and to say we have evidence to suggest that null hypothesis is incorrect.
I don’t get why you would accept H0 if the likelihood of H1 is GREATER than the significance level? It just makes sense to me that, if the probability of H1 is greater than the significance level, then H1 would be more likely than the minimum likelihood you need & therefore you would accept H1 and reject H0. If
A hypothesis test is only ever concerned with testing whether you have evidence to support or evidence against the null hypothesis H0. Your conclusion is never centred around the alternative hypothesis H1 - rather than points the direction you have tested. You will either have: > evidence to suggest that the probability of the event happening is less than that given by H0 (failing to reject), or insufficient evidence (reject)... > evidence to suggest that the probability of the event happening is greater than that given by H0 (failing to reject), or insufficient evidence (reject)... > evidence to suggest that the probability of the event happening is different to that given by H0 (failing to reject), or insufficient evidence (reject)... Now, the significance level is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when in fact it is true. The idea is that you set the significance level as a boundary such that if the probability of what happens is so unlikely (given that we're assuming the coin is fair), and this probability is LESS than the significance level, then we have evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Consider it like a limbo stick. The significance level is me saying: "If you want me to believe that that coin is in favour of Tails, you'll have to flip it ten times and IF you get 0 or 1 Heads, THEN I'll say you may be on to something. Otherwise, if you get 2 - 10 Heads, you won't have evidence to convince me." So I need to have such an unlikely event happen (hence the LOW probability) in order to convince me that the assumed probability (the null hypothesis) is wrong.
No - you'd only need to do this if the question specifically asked for it. In general, you will not lose a mark for not explaining your choice of alternative hypothesis.
