Tests of Statistical Claims

Learners test claims with data. They state hypotheses, see the logic of a significance test through simulation, carry out a one-proportion z test, interpret P-values and significance levels, weigh Type I and Type II errors and power, meet the one-sample t test and randomization tests for two groups, and distinguish statistical significance from practical importance.

  • 4 lessons
  • About 150 minutes
  • Tests of claims check: 11 questions
  • Ways to answer: choose an answer, match pairs, type a number, put in order, true or false and write a short answer

What learners will discover

  • State null and alternative hypotheses and explain the logic of a significance test, including through simulation.
  • Carry out a one-proportion z test: conditions, test statistic, P-value and conclusion in context.
  • Interpret P-values and significance levels, and describe Type I and Type II errors and power.
  • Interpret a one-sample t test and a two-group randomization test, and distinguish statistical from practical significance.
