Let’s do an experiment.
The Coin Flip Experiment
Question: Could the professor be a crook?
Let’s do an experiment.
•Make assumptions about the professor.•Determine sampling frame.
•Set up hypotheses based on assumptions.•Collect data.•Analyze data.
•Make decision whether he is or is not a crook.
Some Steps in Hypothesis Testing
Step 1. Assume that the professor is fair, i.e., that P(Win) = .5
Some Steps in Hypothesis Testing
Step 1. Assume that the professor is fair, i.e., that P(Win) = .5
Step 2. Set up hypotheses:H0: He is not a crook.H1: He is a crook.
Some Steps in Hypothesis Testing
Step 1. Assume that the professor is fair, i.e., that P(Win) = .5
Step 2. Set up hypotheses:H0: He is not a crook.H1: He is a crook.
Step 3. Determine the risk that you are willing to take in making an error of false slander, (alpha), often at .05
Some Steps in Hypothesis Testing
Step 1. Assume that the professor is fair, i.e., that P(Win) = .5
Step 2. Set up hypotheses:H0: He is not a crook.H1: He is a crook.
Step 3. Determine the risk that you are willing to take in making an error of false slander, (alpha), often at .05
Step 4. Decide on a sample, e.g., 6 flips.

Step 5. Gather data.

Step 4. Decide on a sample, e.g., 6 flips.
Step 5. Gather data.
Step 6. Decide whether the data is more or less probable than . E.g., the probability of 6 consecutive wins based on the assumption in Step 1 is .016. (.5 x .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 = .016)

Step 7. Based on this evidence, determine if the assumption that Hakuta is fair should be rejected or not.

What’s the probability of rolling a dice and getting 6?
Rolling a six (6)
Six possible values (1,2,3,4,5,6)= 1/6 = .17
What’s the probability of rolling a dice and getting an even number?
Rolling an even (2, 4, 6)
Six possible values (1,2,3,4,5,6)= 3/6 = .50
What the probability that your first (or next) child will be a girl?
What is the probability of flipping 8 heads in a row?
What is the probability of flipping 8 heads in a row?
.5 x .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 x .5
or
.58 = .004
What is the probability of flipping 8 heads in a row?
.5 x .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 x .5
or
.58 = .004
Formalized as:
The probability that A, which has probability P(A), will occur r times in r independent trials is:
P(A)r
So, you decide to conduct a case study of 3 teachers, sampling randomly from a school district where 85% of the teacher are women. You end up with 3 male teachers. What do you conclude?
P(males) three times = P(males)3 = .153 = .003

If you had ended up with 3 female teachers, would you have been surprised?

Some Problems
• If z = 1, what % of the normal curve lies above it? Below it?
• If z = -1.7, what % of the normal curve lies below it?
• What % of the curve lies between z = -.75 and z = .75?
• What is the z-score such that only 5% of the curve lies above it?
• In the SAT with µ=500 and =100, what % of the population do you expect to score above 600? Above 750?
