23rd April

23rd April: Inferential Statistics - Confidence intervals and hypothesis testing

Learning Outcomes

Students working at OL should be able to

  • Recognise the concept of a hypothesis test
  • Calculate the margin of error for a population proportion
  • Conduct a hypothesis test on a population proportion using the margin of error

Students working at HL should be able to

  • Build on the concept of margin of error and understand that increased confidence level implies wider intervals.
  • Use sampling distributions as the basis for informal inference
  • Perform univariate large sample tests of the population mean (two-tailed z-test only)
  • Use and interpret p-values

Inferential Statistics for Proportions - Plan

https://www.scoilnet.ieuploads/resources/29914/29650.pdf Added: 25 Jun 2019 Contributor: PDST Resource type: Lesson Plan

This Teaching and Learning plan helps students understand why sampling is important, to identify that there is a link between statistics and probability. To understand the phrase “inferential statistics” and to understand the link between the 95% confidence and the empirical rule. They also recognise how sampling variability influences the use of sample information to make statements about the population.

Project Maths Workshop 10 Notes

https://www.scoilnet.ieuploads/resources/32399/32141.pdf Added: 31 Mar 2020 Contributor: PDST Resource type: Guide/notes

Workshop 10 focused on the importance of using a variety of approaches and strategies when teaching and learning mathematics.Time was spent discussing inferential statistics and in particular deferred material which will be examined for Leaving Cert. 2015. Activities on problem-solving and an overview of the process of lesson study were also gone through on the day. If you missed workshop 10 or want to go back over some of the activities done on the day, you’ll find videos of the full workshop and all the resources used or references during the workshop below.You will find all resources used in workshop 7 here including videos of the full day.
