Big Ideas
- Statistical inference begins with clearly defined hypotheses about a population parameter.
- Proper construction of null and alternative hypotheses is essential for meaningful hypothesis testing.
Essential Questions
- What is the purpose of formulating null and alternative hypotheses?
- How do you decide what statements to use for the null and alternative hypotheses?
- How does the null hypothesis relate to a claim about a population parameter?
- Why is it important to clearly distinguish between the null and alternative hypothesis statements?
- How can research questions be translated into hypothesis statements?
