Summary
A study of flu vaccine effectiveness. Statistical tests are used to compare a shot and a nasal spray. Readers learn how to apply statistical tests to health data.
The study's aims and methods
Two types of flu vaccine were compared in a study with 1000 participants. A statistical test was run on the results. Observed proportions of flu cases were used to calculate a p value.
Hypotheses, significance and conclusions
Some statistical terms are defined in the study. The null and alternative hypotheses are both explained. A p value is compared with a significance level to draw a conclusion. Limitations of the study are also discussed.
Statistical significance and other factors
Statistical significance is explained. Other factors that might affect the choice of flu vaccine are also mentioned. Outliers in the data are mentioned in the context of response times.
Further statistical tests and comparisons
ANOVAs were used to compare groups of women with different experiences. Data from 2 different groups are compared in 2 different ways.
Key terms
- p value
- The p value is a measure of how likely it is to get the results by chance.
- Null hypothesis
- The null hypothesis states that there is no difference.
- Z test
- The Z test is a statistical test that compares 2 proportions.
- Statistical significance
- Statistical significance is a measure of how likely it is that the results are due to chance.
- ANOVA
- ANOVA is a statistical test that compares 3 or more means.
- Outlier
- An outlier is a data point that is much higher or lower than the others.
Questions this document helps with
