AP Statistics - Summary of Confidence Intervals and Hypothesis Tests

This document summarizes common statistical procedures for confidence intervals and hypothesis tests, including: 1) One sample mean procedures for known and unknown population standard deviations. 2) One sample proportion procedures when sample size is large enough for a normal approximation. 3) Formulas, conditions and calculator options are provided for each procedure.
