(6) Inference. The student applies the mathematical process standards to make inferences and justify conclusions from statistical studies. The student is expected to:

  • (A) explain how a sample statistic and a confidence level are used in the construction of a confidence interval;
  • (B) explain how changes in the sample size, confidence level, and standard deviation affect the margin of error of a confidence interval;
  • (C) calculate a confidence interval for the mean of a normally distributed population with a known standard deviation;
  • (D) calculate a confidence interval for a population proportion;
  • (E) interpret confidence intervals for a population parameter, including confidence intervals from media or statistical reports;
  • (F) explain how a sample statistic provides evidence against a claim about a population parameter when using a hypothesis test;
  • (G) construct null and alternative hypothesis statements about a population parameter;
  • (H) explain the meaning of the p-value in relation to the significance level in providing evidence to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis in the context of the situation;
  • (I) interpret the results of a hypothesis test using technology-generated results such as large sample tests for proportion, mean, difference between two proportions, and difference between two independent means; and
  • (J) describe the potential impact of Type I and Type II Errors.
