* Generalizing From Samples Making Inferences * Generalizing From Samples Sample error (Confidence intervals) Confidence levels Significance levels * Sample Errors A.K.A. Confidence Intervals Are a RANGE OF VALUES within which the population parameter most likely falls Can be calculated from a given sample * Are expressed as: Parameter = Statistic ? ___% Or, statistic (sampling error is ____ %) * Sample Error Example Table 1 Support For Tax Levy (%) For 45 Against 40 Undecided 15 Total 1200 * Sample Error Example 45% percent of the respondents indicated that, if the election were to be held today, they would vote for the levy (The poll has a 3% sampling error.) If the election were to be held today, the “For the levy” side would carry 45% percent (? 3%) of the votes * Sample Error Is affected by sample size (larger samples provide smaller sample errors -- see text, pgs. 187 188, Tables 7-1 7-2) Can be calculated, if we are able to specify our desired confidence level * Confidence Level A Statement of Likelihood (Probability) In both of the previous cases, the statement means that the “true” percentage of levy supporters in the population is MOST LIKELY (PROBABLY) somewhere between 42% and 48% (Remember, sample had 45% “For”, with a 3% error rate) * Confidence Level How Likely Is “Most (quite) Likely???” The likelihood (probability) that the sample is representative of the population The likelihood that we can safely infer from the sample to the population * Confidence Level Is used with Univariate measures (percentages, typicality, dispersion) Is affected by sample size (larger samples permit higher confidence) Usually, we wish to be at least 95% confident That our sample is representative That the population parameter falls within the sample error * Confidence Level And Sample Error Higher confidence means more sample error Lower confidence means less sample error For example, with (roughly) the same size sample, one might have a 3% sample error and a
