Listen "Testing Our Expectations"
Episode Synopsis
Howdy folks, and welcome to part 2 of our discussion for Week 10 on Significance and Hypothesis Testing! This episode is all about that hypothesis testing component, particularly the errors we can run into (Type 1 or Type 2, aka false positives and false negatives) and the steps for testing we must take with our hypotheses. I will say this episode is dense--we've got a lot of major concepts (like test statistics and critical values), some complicated steps to figure out (with respect to one-tailed or two-tailed hypothesis testing), and the consideration of how we do this with SPSS (where we compare p-values with our significance level). Take your time with this one, reread the chapter as needed, and email me anytime with questions or concerns on this!
