Texas Instruments: Logic of Significance/hypothesis Testing

For Teachers 6th - 8th Standards
This set covers the logic of significance/hypothesis tests. Students decide whether a one- or two-tailed test is appropriate. They also decide, by comparing the p-value to the alpha level, whether statistically significant evidence exists.
