CHAPTER 1 LEARNING OBJECTIVES
m m m
CLO1-1: Use the chance model to determine whether an observed statistic is unlikely to occur.
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
CLO1-2: Calculate and interpret a p-value, and state the strength of evidence it provides against the null
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
hypothesis.
m
CLO1-3: Calculate a standardized statistic for a single proportion and evaluate the strength of evidence it
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
provides against a null hypothesis.
m m m m m
CLO1-4: Describe how the distance of the observed statistic from the parameter value specified by the null
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
hypothesis, sample size, and one- vs. two-sided tests affect the strength of evidence against the
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
null hypothesis.

CLO1-5: Describe how to carry out a theory-based, one-proportion z-test.

between two events.

LO1.1-3: Use the One Proportion applet to carry out the coin tossing simulation.

LO1.1-4: Identify whether or not study results are statistically significant and whether or not the chance

model is a plausible explanation for the data.
m m m m m m m m
LO1.1-5: Implement the 3S strategy: find a statistic, simulate results from a chance model, and comment

on strength of evidence against observed study results happening by chance alone.
m m m m m m m m m m m m
LO1.1-6: Differentiate between saying the chance model is plausible and the chance model is the correct

explanation for the observed data.

3. Given below is the simulated distribution of the number of ―red wins‖ that could happen by chance

alone in a sample of 80 matches. Based on this simulation, is our observed result statistically

significant?

A. Yes, since 45 is larger than 40.
m m m m m m
B. Yes, since the height of the dotplot above 45 is smaller than the height of the dotplot

C. No, since 45 is a fairly typical outcome if the color of the winner‘s uniform was
