- 7.1: Growth Mindset
- What's growth mindset?
- 7.2: Samples and Populations Refresher
- Do you remember the difference between a sample and a population? This distinction is becoming even more important.
- 7.3: The Research Hypothesis and the Null Hypothesis
- It's confusing, but we don't statistically test the Research Hypothesis. We test the Null Hypothesis.
- 7.4: Null Hypothesis Significance Testing
- What do we do with the Research Hypothesis and the Null Hypothesis?
- 7.5: Critical Values, p-values, and Significance
- Let's start putting it altogether so that we can start answering research questions.
- 7.6: Steps of the Hypothesis Testing Process
- Four easy steps!
- 7.7: The Two Errors in Null Hypothesis Significance Testing
- When working with probabilities, there's always a chance that we'll make the wrong decision and make a mistake (in other words, an error)...
