TABLE 8.1  A review of the notation used for the mean, variance, and standard deviation in population,  sample, and sampling distributions.
TABLE 8.3  Four outcomes for making a decision. The decision can be either correct (correctly reject  or retain null) or wrong (incorrectly reject or retain null).
Figure 8.4 displays a graph with the critical values for Example 8.1 shown. In this  example a = .05, so we split this probability in half:
TABLE 8.5  To find the p value for the z statistic, find its probability (toward the tail) in the unit normal  table and multiply this probability times the number of tails for alpha.
