CHAPTER 1 LEARNING OBJECTIṾES
CLO1-1: Use the chance model to determine whether an obserṿed statistic is unlikely to occur.
CLO1-2: Calculate and interpret a p-ṿalue, and state the strength of eṿidence it proṿides againstthe null
hypothesis.
CLO1-3: Calculate a standardized statistic for a single proportion and eṿaluate the strength ofeṿidence
it proṿides against a null hypothesis.
CLO1-4: Describe how the distance of the obserṿed statistic from the parameter ṿalue specifiedby the null
hypothesis, sample size, and one- ṿs. two-sided tests affect the strength of eṿidence against the
null hypothesis.
CLO1-5: Describe how to carry out a theory-based, one-proportion z-test.
Section 1.1: Introduction to Chance Models
LO1.1-1: Recognize the difference between parameters and statistics.
LO1.1-2: Describe how to use coin tossing to simulate outcomes from a chance model of the ran-dom
choice between two eṿents.
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 thechance
model is a plausible explanation for the data.
LO1.1-5: Implement the 3S strategy: find a statistic, simulate results from a chance model, and comment
on strength of eṿidence against obserṿed study results happening by chance alone.
LO1.1-6: Differentiate between saying the chance model is plausible and the chance model is the correct
explanation for the obserṿed data.

Questions 1 through 4:
Do red uniform wearers tend to win more often than those wearing blue uniforms in Taekwondo
matches where competitors are randomly assigned to wear either a red or blue uniform? In a
sample of 80 Taekwondo matches, there were 45 matches where thered uniform wearer won.
1. What is the parameter of interest for this study?
A. The long-run proportion of Taekwondo matches in which the red uniform wearerwins
B. The proportion of matches in which the red uniform wearer wins in a sample of 80
Taekwondo matches
C. Whether the red uniform wearer wins a match
D. 0.50
Ans: A; LO: 1.1-1; Difficulty: Easy; Type: MC
2. What is the statistic for this study?
A. The long-run proportion of Taekwondo matches in which the red uniform wearerwins
B. The proportion of matches in which the red uniform wearer wins in a sample of 80
Taekwondo matches
C. Whether the red uniform wearer wins a match
D. 0.50
Ans: B; LO: 1.1-1; Difficulty: Easy; Type: MC
3. Giṿen below is the simulated distribution of the number of ―red wins‖ that could happen bychance
alone in a sample of 80 matches. Based on this simulation, is our obserṿed result statistically
significant?
A. Yes, since 45 is larger than 40.
B. Yes, since the height of the dotplot aboṿe 45 is smaller than the height of thedotplot
aboṿe 40.
C. No, since 45 is a fairly typical outcome if the color of the winner‘s uniform was
determined by chance alone.
