The probability that a variate would assume a value greater than or equal to the observed value strictly by chance: P(z>=z_(observed)).

A statistic defined to improve the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test in the tail of a distribution.

The limit test, also sometimes known as the nth term test, says that if lima_n!=0 or this limit does not exist as n tends to infinity, then the series suma_n does not ...

A statistical test in which assumptions are made about the underlying distribution of observed data.

The divisibility test that an integer is divisible by 9 iff the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

A test for determining the probability that a given result could not have occurred by chance (its significance).

The probability of getting a positive result for a given test which should produce a positive result.

The positive predictive value is the probability that a test gives a true result for a true statistic. The negative predictive value is the probability that a test gives a ...

Let sumu_k be a series with positive terms and let f(x) be the function that results when k is replaced by x in the formula for u_k. If f is decreasing and continuous for ...

Let u_k be a series with positive terms and suppose rho=lim_(k->infty)(u_(k+1))/(u_k). Then 1. If rho<1, the series converges. 2. If rho>1 or rho=infty, the series diverges. ...
