Common test statistics

I corrected the erroneous last test, ("regression t-test") to a correct F-test. Harald Lang, 2015-11-29.

Hypothesis testing to discriminate two point processes

Suppose that we have two different point processes. By hypothesis testing, how can we find out whether the sample is from the first one or the second one? What is the minimal sum of error probabilities? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.63.121.210 (talk) 21:53, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Clairvoyant example...

I could be completely wrong about this but looking at the clairvoyant example...

The probability of getting every guess correct (clairvoyantly) is said to be

(1/4)^25 ~= 10^-15

This is basically the 1/4 probability that a card will be of a chosen suit rasied to the power of the number of correctly chosen cards right?

So then the probability of getting between 10 and 25 of the choices correct is the sum of getting exactly 10,11,12,13, etc.. up to 25 choices correct so if I put that into Wolfram's summation widget I get something like 1.26*10^-6, NOT ~= .07 as stated in the article?

Am I missing something here?
