Wed nes day HW!

Wednesday HW:
(Period A: I think I rushed into the conclusion too quickly this morning, so let's hold off on our homework with conclusions until Thursday. Tonight let's focus on the "math" and understanding our p-values.)

Page 470-472: 3, 9, 11cd, 12abcd
  • 3 = understanding what a p-value represents
  • 9 = find errors!
  • 11cd = math and interpret p-value
  • 12abcd = hypotheses, conditions, math, interpret p-value
  • Interpret PValue Template:
    • If ____(Ho is true, in context)_______, there is a   pvalue   % chance that we would get a sample statistic (p-hat) of   p-hat   or larger/smaller (pick one).

Thursday's HW:
  • Please complete the full hypothesis test process for each of the three context below:
    • Hypotheses 
    • Conditions 
    • "Math" 
    • Conclusion
  • You will get some very high/low (far from 0) z scores and some p-values that are = 0...this is because I took real studies for these rather than using "cookie cutter" test questions
    • This should be reflected in our sketch!
    • Remember, the "shaded region" represents the p-value, so if the p-value is 0 then nothing should be shaded!
  • #1 is very much like our cereal example from class....
  • If an alpha level (aka significance level) is not given, pick one! (1%,5%, or 10%)

Today's Class Recap:
  • Stamp = CI review
  • Back to ch. 20 notes....
    • How do we determine if a sample statistic is "statistically significantly" different from the value in our null hypothesis?
      • Calculating z scores (standardized test statistic)
      • Calculating p-values
      • How can we use our graphing calculator? How do we show the math work on our AP exam?
    • What is a p-value? How can we interpret p-value in context?
    • What is an alpha/significance level? (back to #7)....:
    • How can we write a conclusion for a hypothesis test (comparing p-value to alpha level)?
      • Provided a template for writing our conclusions....
