Lab Report

Finish answering the discussion questions in the Lab Report Word file. Proofread your report and make sure you have integrated into the body of your report the numerical and (modified) graphical summary of the sample data for the first analysis and the screen captures of your simulation results/ approximate p-value for both analyses.  Please pay particular attention to your description of the reasoning process in (l) and (n), and be very clear how you are coming to your decision of whether or not you have convincing evidence against the null hypothesis.

 

Summary of technology skills learned in this lab:

  • Producing a simple bar graph from tallied data in Excel
  • Using a computer simulation to generate an approximate p-value for a research study involving a binary variable

Summary of statistical skills learned in this lab:

  • Describing and interpreting a sample result of one binary variable
  • Using a p-value to assess the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis (beyond the data at hand)
  • Explaining the reasoning process behind the concept of statistical significance
