Hypothesis Testing: Means

Activity Overview

Students test a claim about a mean with a large sample size using the test statistic and the critical value. They also find the area under the curve to find the p value. Then, students will see how the result would change if they used a one-percent significance level or smaller sample size. An optional extension further allows students to study the importance of sample size.
