Statistical Significance Formula
The following formula used type 1 error to determine statistical significance.
Z = (x - u) / (std / sqrt(n))
- Where Z is the statistical significance
- x is the sample mean
- u is the population mean
- std is the standard deviation
- n is the sample size
To calculate the statistical significance, subtract the population mean from the sample mean, then divide by the result of the standard deviation over the square root of the sample size.
Statistical Significance Definition
A statistical significance is a measure of how closely a sample set follows the data of a larger population
Statistical Significance Example
How to calculate statistical significane
- First, determine the sample size
Determine a proper sample size to be used for analysis.
- Next, calculate the sample mean
Calculate the mean of the sample.
- Next, calculate the population mean
Calculate the mean of the entire population.
- Next, determine the standard deviation
This is the standard deviation of the population, not the sample.
- Finally, calculate the statistical significance.
Calculate Z using the formula above.
