More information about the book can be found [here](https://macmillanlearning.com/Catalog/product/introductiontothepracticeofstatistics-ninthedition-moore). The data used in these documents can be found under Data Sets in the [Student Site](https://www.macmillanlearning.com/catalog/studentresources/ips9e?_ga=2.29224888.526668012.1531487989-1209447309.1529940008#). This file as well as the associated R Markdown reproducible analysis source file used to create it can be found at https://nhorton.people.amherst.edu/ips9/. This work leverages initiatives undertaken by Project MOSAIC (http://www.mosaic-web.org), an NSF-funded effort to improve the teaching of statistics, calculus, science and computing in the undergraduate curriculum. In particular, we utilize the `mosaic` package, which was written to simplify the use of R for introductory statistics courses. A short summary of the R needed to teach introductory statistics can be found in the mosaic package vignettes (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/mosaic). A paper describing the mosaic approach was published in the *R Journal*: https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2017/RJ-2017-024. ## Chapter 6: Introduction to Inference This file replicates the analyses from Chapter 6: Introduction to Inference. First, load the packages that will be needed for this document: ```{r load-packages} library(mosaic) library(readr) ``` ### Section 6.1: Estimating with Confidence ```{r ex6.1, message=FALSE} #Fig6.1 Wade <- read_csv("https://nhorton.people.amherst.edu/ips9/data/chapter06/EG06-01WADE.csv") Wade %>% mutate(North_south = ns, East_west = ew) %>% gf_point(North_south ~ East_west, data = Wade) ``` ### Section 6.2: Tests of Significance Look at Ex6.17 in page 375. We will recreate the calculation as a function of the vector of observations, the population mean, and the known standard deviation. We then visualize it and get the probability of getting a z score equal or greater. ```{r ex6.17} #pg375 z.test <- function(x, mu, sd){ z = (mean(x) - mu) / (sd / sqrt(length(x))) return(z) } z <- z.test(x = c(15.84, 15.33, 15.58), mu = 15, sd = 0.25) xpnorm(z) ``` ```{r} #Ex6.18 z.confint <- function(x, mu, sd) { err <- qnorm(0.995)*sd/sqrt(length(x)) lower <- mean(x) - err upper <- mean(x) + err return(c(lower, upper)) } z.confint(x = c(15.84,15.33,15.58), mu = 15, sd = 0.25) ``` ### Section 6.3: Use and abuse of tests ### Section 6.4: Power and inference as a decision
