Estimating Confidence Intervals: Statistical Significance
- Are M1 & M2 significantly different?
- Compute t. Select significance level (e.g. sig = 5%)
- Consult table for t-distribution: Find t value corresponding to k-1 degrees of freedom (here, 9)
- t-distribution is symmetric: typically upper % points of distribution shown → look up value for confidence limit z=sig/2 (here, 0.025)
- If t > z or t < -z, then t value lies in rejection region:
- Reject null hypothesis that mean error rates of M1 & M2 are same
- Conclude: statistically significant difference between M1 & M2
- Otherwise, conclude that any difference is chance
