| 1. Introduction a. define a hypothesis, describe the steps of hypothesis testing, and describe and interpret the choice of the null and alternative hypotheses; | |
| 2. Null Hypothesis and Alternative Hypothesis b. compare and contrast one-tailed and two-tailed tests of hypotheses; | |
| 3. Test Statistic and Significance Level c. explain a test statistic, Type I and Type II errors, a significance level, and how significance levels are used in hypothesis testing, and the power of a test; | |
| 4. Type I and Type II Errors in Hypothesis Testing c. explain a test statistic, Type I and Type II errors, a significance level, and how significance levels are used in hypothesis testing, and the power of a test; | |
| 5. The Power of a Test c. explain a test statistic, Type I and Type II errors, a significance level, and how significance levels are used in hypothesis testing, and the power of a test; | |
| 6. The Decision Rule d. explain a decision rule and the relation between confidence intervals and hypothesis tests, and determine whether a statistically significant result is also economically meaningful; e. explain and interpret the p-value as it relates to hypothesis testing; | |
| 7. Multiple Tests and Interpreting Significance f. describe how to interpret the significance of a test in the context of multiple tests; | |
| 8. Tests Concerning a Single Mean g. identify the appropriate test statistic and interpret the results for a hypothesis test concerning the population mean of both large and small samples when the population is normally or approximately distributed and the variance is 1) known or 2) unknown; | |
| 9. Tests Concerning Differences between Means with Independent Samples h. identify the appropriate test statistic and interpret the results for a hypothesis test concerning the equality of the population means of two at least approximately normally distributed populations, based on independent random samples with equal assumed variances; | |
| 10. Tests Concerning Differences between Means with Dependent Samples i. identify the appropriate test statistic and interpret the results for a hypothesis test concerning the mean difference of two normally distributed populations; | |
| 11. Testing Concerning Tests of Variances (Chi-Square Test) j. identify the appropriate test statistic and interpret the results for a hypothesis test concerning 1) the variance of a normally distributed population, and 2) the equality of the variances of two normally distributed populations based on two independent random samples; | |
| 12. Tests Concerning the Equality of Two Variances (F-Test) j. identify the appropriate test statistic and interpret the results for a hypothesis test concerning 1) the variance of a normally distributed population, and 2) the equality of the variances of two normally distributed populations based on two independent random samples; | |
| 13. Parametric vs. NonParametric Tests k. compare and contrast parametric and nonparametric tests, and describe situations where each is the more appropriate type of test; | |
| 14. Tests Concerning Correlation l. explain parametric and nonparametric tests of the hypothesis that the population correlation coefficient equals zero, and determine whether the hypothesis is rejected at a given level of significance; | |
| 15. Test of Independence Using Contingency Table Data m. explain tests of independence based on contingency table data. |
I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
