11th Grade Drawing Conclusions About Population Proportion Based On Test Statistic Value And Rejection Region Lesson Plan Example

Topic: Drawing Conclusions About Population Proportion Based on Test Statistic Value and Rejection Region

Objectives & Outcomes

• Understand how to use test statistic value and rejection region to draw conclusions about population proportion based on samples.

Content

• Test statistic value and rejection region
• Calculating test statistic value and rejection region
• Drawing conclusions about population proportion based on test statistic value and rejection region

Assignments

• Worksheet on test statistic value and rejection region
• Practice problems on test statistic value and rejection region

Warm-up

• Ask students to think about a situation in which they need to draw conclusions about a population proportion based on samples.
• Have them share their ideas with a partner.
• Discuss the ideas as a class.

Direct Instruction

• Define the terms "test statistic," "p-value," and "rejection region."
• Explain the concept of drawing conclusions about a population proportion based on test statistic value and rejection region.
• Provide examples using actual data.

Guided Practice

• Provide students with a worksheet containing data from a hypothetical sample survey.
• Have students complete the following steps:
• Calculate the test statistic value for the sample data.
• Calculate the p-value.
• Determine the rejection region, and
• Draw a conclusion about the population proportion based on the test statistic value and rejection region.
• Have students work in small groups to complete the activity, with assistance as needed.

Independent Practice

• Have students complete a similar activity using real-world data.
• Encourage students to use their calculations to make a valid conclusion about the population proportion.

Closure

• Review the steps for evaluating a test statistic and drawing a conclusion about a population proportion.
• Remind students of the importance of using strong evidence to support a valid conclusion about a population proportion.

Assessment

• Observe students as they complete the independent practice activity and provide feedback on their ability to use strong evidence to support a valid conclusion about the population proportion.
• Collect and grade the completed worksheets as a formative assessment.
• Provide feedback and re-teach as needed to students who were having difficulty with the concept or application of the closure principle.
