Specific Objectives:

SWBAT identify which type

of significance test is
appropriate for what
situations, then apply that
test to disprove a null
hypothesis or demonstrate
that there is insufficient
evidence to do so.

SWBAT determine which

sampling procedures are
appropriate for a given
situation and why

Determine whether or
not conditions
permitting results to
be generalized to a
target population have
been met for
experiments, surveys,

studies

areas of need for further
study
-Determine the
probability of getting a
value that is as
extreme as an
observed value, then
use this principle to
