Subsection 5.3 Technology Summary
You used applets to explore sampling distributions:
-
The "One Proportion Inference" applet allowed you to explore properties of the binomial distribution. This applet provides both empirical and exact binomial probability calculations. This is similar to what you can do with the "Reese’s Pieces" applet.
-
The "Simulating Power" applet allowed you to compare the distribution under the null hypothesis to the distribution under an alternative hypothesis and consider the probabilities of Type I and Type II errors and how they are controlled.
-
The "Simulating Confidence Intervals" applet allowed you to compare the coverage rates of the Wald, Plus Four/Adjusted Wald, Blaker, and Score intervals
You used applets to perform normal probability calculations:
-
The "Normal Probability Calculator" applet allowed you to sketch, label, and find areas under a normal curve
-
The "Theory-Based Inference" applet allowed you to carry out a test of significance for a process probability and to find a two-sided confidence interval using the normal approximation to the binomial.
