CHAPTER 1 LEARNING OBJECTIVES

CLO1-1: xUse xthe xchance xmodel xto xdetermine xwhether xan xobserved xstatistic xis xunlikely xto xoccur.
CLO1-2: xCalculate xand xinterpret xa xp-value, xand xstate xthe xstrength xof xevidence xit xprovides xagainstxthe
xnull xhypothesis.
CLO1-3: xCalculate xa xstandardized xstatistic xfor xa xsingle xproportion xand xevaluate xthe xstrength xof
xevidence x it xprovides xagainst xa xnull xhypothesis.
CLO1-4: xDescribe xhow xthe xdistance xof xthe xobserved xstatistic xfrom xthe xparameter xvalue xspecifiedxby
xthe xnull xhypothesis, xsample x size, xand xone- xvs. xtwo-sided x tests xaffect xthe xstrength x of
xevidence x against xthe x null xhypothesis.
CLO1-5: xDescribe xhow xto xcarry xout xa xtheory-based, xone-proportion xz-test.

x x x x x
LO1.1-1: xRecognize xthe xdifference xbetween xparameters xand xstatistics.
LO1.1-2: xDescribe xhow xto xuse xcoin xtossing xto xsimulate xoutcomes xfrom xa xchance xmodel xof xthe xran-
xdom xchoice x between x two x events.
LO1.1-3: xUse xthe xOne xProportion xapplet xto xcarry xout xthe xcoin xtossing xsimulation.
LO1.1-4: xIdentify xwhether xor xnot xstudy xresults xare xstatistically xsignificant xand xwhether xor xnot xthe
xchance x model xis xa x plausible xexplanation xfor xthe xdata.
LO1.1-5: xImplement xthe x3S xstrategy: xfind xa xstatistic, xsimulate xresults xfrom xa xchance xmodel, xand
xcomment xon xstrength xof xevidence xagainst xobserved xstudy xresults xhappening xby xchance
xalone.
LO1.1-6: xDifferentiate xbetween xsaying xthe xchance xmodel xis xplausible xand xthe xchance xmodel xis xthe
xcorrect xexplanation xfor xthe xobserved xdata.

2. What xis xthe xstatistic xfor xthis xstudy?
A. The xlong-run xproportion xof xTaekwondo xmatches xin xwhich xthe xred xuniform xwearer
xwins
B. The xproportion xof xmatches xin xwhich xthe xred xuniform xwearer xwins xin xa xsample xof

3. Given xbelow xis xthe xsimulated xdistribution xof xthe xnumber xof x―red xwins‖ xthat xcould xhappen
xby xchance xalone xin xa xsample xof x80 xmatches. xBased xon xthis xsimulation, xis xour xobserved
xresult xstatistically xsignificant?
A. Yes, xsince x45 xis xlarger xthan x40.
B. Yes, xsince xthe xheight xof xthe xdotplot xabove x45 xis xsmaller xthan xthe xheight xof
