CHAPTER 1 LEARNING OBJECTIVES
CLO1-1: Use the chance model to determine whether an observed statistic is unlikely to occur.
CLO1-2: Calculate and interpret a p-value, and state the strength of evidence it provides againstthe null
hypothesis.
CLO1-3: Calculate a standardized statistic for a single proportion and evaluate the strength of
evidence it provides against a null hypothesis.
CLO1-4: Describe how the distance of the observed statistic from the parameter value specifiedby the
null hypothesis, sample size, and one- vs. two-sided tests affect the strength of evidence 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 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.
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.
LO1.1-6: Differentiate between saying the chance model is plausible and the chance model is the correct
explanation for the observed 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 kwearer kwins ka kmatch
D. k 0.50
Ans: kA; kLO: k1.1-1; kDifficulty: kEasy; kType: kMC
2. What kis kthe kstatistic kfor kthis kstudy?
A. The klong-run kproportion kof kTaekwondo kmatches kin kwhich kthe kred kuniform
