Suppose we were not sure if the distribution of a population was normal.
00:04
In which of the following circumstances would we not be safe using the procedure? so for part a, a histogram of the data shows moderate skewness.
00:16
B, a stem plot of the data has a large outlier.
00:22
C, the mean and median of the data are nearly equal.
00:24
And d, the sample standard deviation is large.
00:28
So of those options, b, a large outlier is going to prevent us from, using our procedure.
00:41
Part b, you suspect, excuse me, you are thinking of using a t procedure to test the hypothesis about the mean of a population using a significance level of 0 .05.
00:54
You suspect the distribution of the population is not normal and may be moderately skewed.
00:59
Which of the following statements are correct? you may not use the t procedure.
01:07
Option b, t procedures are robust to non -normality for confidence intervals, but not for tests of hypotheses.
01:15
Actually, that might all be part a, it's hard to see...
