DRAWING INFERENCES ABOUT POPULATION MEANS AND PROPORTIONS

Having developed the null and alternative hypotheses in the previous module, write a (2-3 pages) paper in which you:

1. Identify a test statistic to help you assess the evidence against the null hypothesis you developed in the previous module.
2. Explain why you have chosen the specific test statistic. Include in your discussion description of the test statistic.
3. Summarize your findings by creating a summary graph in which you display your data.
4. Discuss the total number of measurements (sample size), the possibility for measurement error, and whether it is large enough to paint an accurate picture.
